Windows 10: Mirroring problems with Panasonic TV

Hi

I recently bought a Panasonic TV with a mirroring capacity. However, although my laptop tries to connect to it, there is no joy. They are connected via a BT Home Hub network. When I spoke to Panasonic support, they told me that I needed some software for Windows 10 that would make the laptop suitable for mirroring. Does anyone know what the software is, and where I can download it? Many thanks in advance!

Mirroring function

Why my PC can not establish connection from Connect option tab to Panasonic TV that is Mirroring enabled? In the tab TV is recognized, but says cannot connect.

 

Miracast Error When Connecting to Panasonic TV: "Input Device Disconnected."

Hi Ian,

My windows 10 is up to date and DxDiag shows Miracast available.

Never before my laptop has successfully mirrored to TV.

As soon as I start mirroring, my laptop screen goes black and "Input device disconnected. Exit Mirroring" error comes on my TV

My TV is Panasonic ES500D series and laptop is Dell Inspiron 15R 5521

 

Is your laptop and the TV both Miracast compliant? If so then Windows 10 support mirroring without additional software.

Pleas poste the model numbers of your laptop and TV.

 

Hi

Thanks for the reply. The laptop is a Lenovo Idea Pad and the TV is a Panasonic TX-40DX600B. I hope this helps.

 

I have since spoken to Panasonic support and have discovered that it is not the set at fault but it seems that the laptop needs some software (Miracast?). Does anyone know exactly what software I would require and a safe site from which to download it? Thanks.

 

I would start here:

https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/...creen-miracast

Beginning with the Getting your devices ready section.

Your Laptop has to support Miracast in order for this to function, please check with your manufacturer's site by model to ensure it is.

 

I've checked that very useful link you kindly sent me and it looks like my laptop does support Miracast. I've contacted the laptop makers (Lenovo) to try to elicit some help from them also*Sad
