I checked the TV settings and the TV is on the same wifi network and I can ping it from the laptop. Allshare is set to allowed.
I don't really care about my home set up. I'm more concerned with finding something that works for my client. They have to order a 42" monitor for this, so if someone can recommend one that they know will work, that would be helpful.

What do you need to share exactly? Is it a web browser tab? Maybe a Chromecast? We have used these in the past but they are junk. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B002Z04K0E Would not recommend.

@penguinwrangler I use the ChromeCast at home and it works great for NetFlix. I this case it's for an office and they want to cast everything (Excel, Chrome, etc) from the tablet that might get passed around to a 42" monitor at the end of the table. A wire isn't desirable since they will be passing it back and fourth.

@mike-davis Microsoft Wireless Display adapters are cheap enough that I would try that route.

@penguinwrangler hmmm, I guess I'll have to go the "buy it and try it" route. I was hoping someone had found something that worked well.

We use ClickShare here and it is a great device. Plug in the base station into the projector. You get USB dongles that will tie into the base station and mirror the device's screen. Cell phones can do it too by tying into the base's wifi and using the ClickShare app to mirror the cell phone's screen.
The only downside is that it isn't too mobile and costs a little bit of money for a base and 2 USB dongles.

I've had recent experience with a box called FloTV... not impressed with it tho, I'd say stay away unless you can run a wire (and then you have cheaper options to do the same thing!)

yeah, that would be ugly hanging off the side of the tablet. Also $1,500 seems a bit steep for something that Windows 10 is supposed to have built in. Thanks for the eval though.

What device did you end up using?
