Laptop to monitor stream.....

[jonnie comet]

A mate (seriously) has just got rid of his TV as he reckons that he can view everything that he wants to watch via iPlayer/catch up etc on his laptop (not Mac)

At the mo' he connects his laptop to a monitor via a HDMI cable, but would obviously prefer to do this wirelessly and I know that there are various gadgets out there for doing this, but neither of us has a clue what to go for. I've told him that someone here would point him in the right direction.

Pretty please, could someone please recommend a laptop to monitor streaming device.

Thank you......

Thanks for the reply but I'm not sure that I explained things very well...

My mate's monitor is not WiFi so therefore it will need some sort of gadget to pick up the WiFi stream from his laptop....

Cheapest option would be Chromecast:
