After successfully running the WiDi Update Tool, you will be able to detect nearby wireless displays within range.If your computer’s hardware is not compatible with WiDi, the Update Tool will abort (shown below) and you won’t be able to take advantage of Intel’s Wireless Display technology. It will tell you whether your computer supports Intel WiDi and update any software or drivers needed to get it working. Once this feature is turned on within your display settings, there are only a few steps required to get WiDi up and running: Every TV is different, but on our LG model you would open Settings > Network > Miracast/Intel’s WiDi and change it to “On”. As for projectors, both Epson and NEC have product lines that come with WiDi support.Īlthough more and more displays support Intel’s Wireless Display, most have the feature disabled by default.
A wide variety of Smart TVs also include support for WiDi such as LG, Samsung, and Toshiba. Virtually any new computer that includes an Intel processor, Intel HD graphics, and Intel wireless card supports WiDi. We used an HP EliteBook 840 and an LG 50LB6100 Smart TV for this example. Plug the external adapter into power and HDMI behind your display and you're free to move your WiDi laptop to wherever you need it. The V2 adapter has less lag when working with a phone in Continuum mode than the previous V1 adapter.įor those displays that don't have it built in there are external adapters available for purchase such as the Netgear PTV3000.
One noticeable improvement (among several) with the Microsoft Wireless Display Adapter V2 is when using it with Continuum with a Windows 10 mobile Device, such as my Microsoft Lumia 950 XL. With Smart TVs becoming nearly ubiquitous now more and more of these displays also bundle in support for wireless display technologies, including WiDi. WiDi allows you to send high definition video and audio to a display wirelessly allowing for completely cable-free presentations and a greater flexibility in computer and display placement. There are an increasing number of solutions to this, but one that is already built in to many laptops is Intel's Wireless Display (WiDi) solution. But cords can be as limiting as they are ugly.
