How to broadcast from a computer to LG TV

Wi-Fi video transmission to TV: My experience

Hey! Just recently, such a problem arose-it was necessary to duplicate the computer screen on the TV via Wi-Fi. Any wires were excluded. Although this would be the best solution, but the technical opportunity did not allow. And as it turned out. Making such a broadcast was not so easy. I had to delve into the problem, which I would like to tell the dear reader in this article. Begin!

In fact, you know better. Personally, I see several possible tasks in this:

• For watching films, this is the main purpose. Your computer is located far, there are no wires, you launch a movie on it and display on the TV screen. As for me it is better to immediately throw a movie on a USB flash drive and stick in a TV set, but there are all sorts of occasions. Immediately see the DLNA section.
• Joint viewing photos. Great.
• Play games. Some do this. But here it is better to use the wire, the response will be many times better, and the game will become comfortable. For wireless communication, delays and friezes are possible.
• The second monitor and demonstration of the screen-just for viewing sites or some work with design, or maybe for everyday activities (I now have just one of the TVs to PC)-in general for working purposes. Here and delays are not significant, so you can use.

The section is more for commentary to the fact that connecting a TV via Wi-Fi is not always a good venture. Sometimes it’s easier to consider using the wire or find an alternative (like watching films through a flash drive).

Everything is successfully verified on Windows 7 and Windows 10.

• At the next stage, it is necessary to connect the TV and laptop to the router, and then control the synchronization using the remote control. For each TV manufacturers there is a separate software to synchronize TV and laptop.

• Further, the procedure comes down to the fact that folders with total access are organized on the computer where there will be a video for viewing.
• Click the right mouse key named folder and move on to its properties.
• Go to the “Access” tab and choose advanced settings.
• Put a checkmark in the corresponding field to allow overall access to the folder.

For configuration, it is enough to indicate that the wireless network is a private. In this case, the folders “Documents”, “Video”, “Music” and “Images” by default become common. You can add arbitrary folders to them, go to their properties, go to the “Access” tab and install the overall access in it for the opportunity to send files.

Now in the control panel you need to go to the network section and go to the parameters of the home network. You need to create a home group and open access to the right folders.

• After starting the program on the laptop, you must click the line “Stream” in the upper horizontal menu.
• In the menu that appears, you must click the line “Allow access via the Internet”.
• While the broadcast occurs, the program should work. It is possible to turn it off after the end of the video stream.

Throughout the connection time, the video player will broadcast on the screen of the Sony, LG or Samsung TV.

Important! For such a broadcast, programs can be used in which the DLNA server function is provided. The most popular of them are the following: Kodi, TVX, PLEX, HMS (home media center), Samsung Allshare, Mezzmo, Servio.

In the VLC video player you can conduct a video broadcast by selecting the “Broadcasting” item in the Media menu. Then you need to go to the “File” tab and specify the video file that needs to be broadcast. However, in order to watch it on the TV, you need to run a browser on it and indicate the IP address of the computer in the home network. This can be done when using Chrome Cast.
