Reddit mentions of Microsoft Wireless Display Adapter v1

"A wifi dongle plugged into this monitor here." Any more info on the specifics of the hardware?

Edit: Looks like Miracast or WiDi should work. And the one he is using in the video is this Microsoft Wireless Display Adapter.

I don't think you can get around having to use a dongle of sorts, but any miracast dongle should do the trick. They're usually powered by usb, and since most tv's these days have them then you never have to see any extra wires. Microsoft made one themselves: Amazon

There's a few different ones, like ASUS or Belkin but I think miracast is only for Windows 8/8.1. Maybe there's a workaround for Windows 7. Might be the same with the Microsoft dongle.

All this is wireless of course, and you would just have to output to external display. Hope that puts you on the right track at least!

They could repurpose the Microsoft streaming dongle that uses miracast for an Xbox steaming dongle that you plug into hdmi. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00J9C2JDG?selectObb=used

As far as I can tell, no, you can't project a Win10 desktop to a Roku device. My Win10 laptop sees my Roku Premiere+ but won't connect to it.

If you want to project your Win10 desktop to your TV, you're going to need a Miracast enabled device like this:

Do you have a Netflix, Amazon or any streaming service subscription? Because that's what the Roku mainly is for. It's a device to enable you to view content from your streaming service of choice without needing a computer, phone or tablet.

Would you be after something like this?

I have approved your comment this time, but be sure in the future to sanitize any retailer links, removing referral codes. They'll get caught in the spam filter and nobody will see your comment.

Oh you didn't want wires. Woops.

Your best bet is probably a Miracast device.

Such as this microsoft dongle

If you need wireless apple support, your easiest solution looks like an Apple TV. There are other ways, but they, like a chromecast, involve having people download shit.

EDIT: Or you could build a tiny computer to act as a server for something like Airserver

Similar to chrome cast but works a little better for presenting things or reading websites and documents. http://www.amazon.com/Microsoft-CG4-00001-Wireless-Display-Adapter/dp/B00J9C2JDG It may be something that will work for you.

You can do this with an Android phone and a Microsoft wireless display adaptor, no WiFi access point needed.

In my experience trying to deal with AirPlay in any kind of educational environment, it has been terrible and unreliable. I don't think this is a good replacement option for a SmartBoard.

I've seen many people complain about the same kinds of issues (choppiness, frequent disconnections, other odd software issues) with mirroring the display to the Apple TV in educational and enterprise environments, so I don't think it's something that's just isolated to our network, either. But maybe others on here have had different experiences.

In general, I've found that few, if any, of Apple's products play nice in an enterprise environment.

Unless you already have a wide iPad deployment or are invested in iPads, I'd strongly suggest avoiding purchasing any Apple products. A similar solution to what you're looking for might be to use a Windows touch screen device (such as a Surface or Surface Pro) with a Miracast-enabled device.

Many TVs and especially projectors have incorporated this feature, and for those that don't there are relatively inexpensive dongles available from Microsoft that are intended to work well with Windows.

What you can do, if you don't mind lag (gaming wise, it's ok for browsing etc), is buying a miracast dongle (Microsoft's example) use the hdmi output for one of the displays, while simultaneously casting to the second display using the dongle.

Do check if your laptop supports miracast though. If in the "project to" menu, you have a "connect to a wireless display" option, it does.

As far as I know, the splitter that ggagagg suggested only duplicates a single signal to two screens, and the ability to daisy chain screens using a single output is only available to Apple's thunderbolt.

Yeah rooting and using one of these would probably be your best bet.

Here's a guide on how to enable Miracast support after you've rooted.

On the real tho - I set these up at work all the time for meetings and so forth. no software is needed just search "connect to wireless display" in windows 10.

This might be what you need.

Any Miracast adapter should work, or a smart tv with miracast built in. I use the official (and overpriced) Microsoft adapter . It plugs into an HDMI and requires a powered USB as well for the extra juice, you can plug that into the TV accessory port or a wall socket. Really any Miracast dongle should do the trick.

That is a typo. I couldn't fix it. I meant this https://www.amazon.com/Microsoft-Wireless-Display-Adapter-v1/dp/B00J9C2JDG . It allows you to cast/airplay anything on your Surface to a tv.

You could try this adapter (https://www.amazon.com/Microsoft-Wireless-Display-Adapter-v1/dp/B00J9C2JDG.) with a digital monitor or TV along with a wireless keyboard/mouse combo. I have this logitech keyboard and it works great. https://www.amazon.com/Logitech-Wireless-Keyboard-Touchpad-Internet-Connected/dp/B014EUQOGK/ref=sr_1_8?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1468945681&sr=1-8&keywords=logitech+wireless+keyboard+and+mouse

Just edited the post, but would this work?

Should mention I'm not using it for gaming, using it for work and productivity.
