yeh my cousin has an lg tv and they have a wifi dongle (it has smart stuff intergrated, but you need to connect the wifi dongle or ethernet) which they have done

and i was able to beem stuff across from my andoroid tablet using some apps

and on youtube it has a special icon to transfer to across to the tv screen which makes it very easy

what i liked about this set up was i didnt have to change the channel / hdmi port or anything it was done automatically, thats what i am looking for?

i would ideal want a device cross platform that could do it over the wifi if not miracast...

definately an android tablet / phone and possibly macbook with an app

thanks guys...
