I'm looking for a way to connect my Samsung smart tv to my laptop. I'd like to use my tv as my "monitor" so I can see everything i'm doing on my laptop shown on the tv. Both are running on the same wi-fi network. I also have a cable box and DVR - in case that matters. Can I connect my laptop to my tv wirelessly? Is it possible to use my tv as a "monitor"? If I can do this, what will I need to do this wirelessly? Or do I need to actually have certain specific cords to do this? Help!
 
Well what laptop is it and what TV. That will see if they support things like widi or not.

Other options are a Chromecast, or if the laptop has HDMI, just plug it in.

What do you want to do on the TV? Browsing and all kinds of things or just watching movies.
