Windows 10: Can I use my Smart TV as an "extended display"?

Can I use my Smart TV as an "extended display"? If so, how do I get documents / pictures to be viewed there while working in Word on laptop? I can get movies to play on TV from laptop, but am doing this as a "duplicated" screen.

Smart Tv not being detected as wireless display after Win10 update,

Hi,

My Samsung 6300 smart tv used to be able to wirelessly extend my laptop, all until 2 months ago after most recent win 10 update. My computer now only detects it as other devices, and will not detect my tv as an extra screen to mirror or extend the laptop
wirelessly.

I am only getting my neighbours TV as i'm living in an apartment building, if i try can search for a wireless display connection.

Please help, it should not be a driver problem, it was working fine previously.

It should not be a TV problem as i can see it listed as other devices, basically its being found, visible, but unable to be script as a tv/wireless display.

it could be a miracast update thing, which now completely renders all earlier smart tvs useless for this job.

 

I can't get a video to stream to my lg smart tv in full screen , it's playing full screen on the pc no problem

Hi Steve,

To assist you better, I like to know; how exactly you are trying to stream video from your PC to LG Smart TV?

As an initial step, I suggest you to try updating the display adapter on your system.

Follow the below steps:

• Click on the Start button, and type Device Manager on the search bar.
• Open Device Manager, expand Display Adapters.
• Find and double-click Display Adapters from the left panel to update.
• Right-click the device, and click Update.

As you are able to play the video full screen in your PC, then it might be an issue related to LG Smart TV. I suggest you to check for the LG Smart TV manual and check what all settings need to done to play video in full screen.

Kindly reply to us, with the status of your issue. We will be happy to assist you.

Thank you.
