How to Use Miracast Wireless Display on Your Android Mini PC

By Avram Piltch, LAPTOP Online Editorial Director | Aug 7, 2013 06:25 PM EDT

A number of mobile devices support Miracast, a new wireless display standard that allows you to stream content directly to your TV. Unlike Google’s Chromecast, which grabs content from the cloud and streams it when you hit a button on your phone or tablet, Miracast displays a complete mirror of your device’s display whether you’re swiping through your home screens, surfing the Web, playing a game or watching a movie. Though there are still few set-top boxes and even fewer TVs that can receive a Miracast signal, several Android Mini PCs offer this important capability.

In just a few simple steps you can turn your Android Mini PC into a Miracast wireless display dongle for your TV and connect it to an Android phone or tablet.

Determine If Your Devices Support Miracast

Android Mini PC: To find out if you can use Miracast on your mini PC, look for a program called “WifiDisplay” in your app menu. If it’s not present , you may need a custom ROM or you may not be able to do Miracast at this time. However, most of the quad-core and many of the dual-core Android sticks support Miracast.

Android Phones / Tablets: The Nexus 4 and new Nexus 7 provide Miracast support as does the ASUS MeMO Pad HD 7, the new Moto X phone and the 2013 Motorola Droid series. The Wi-Fi alliance maintains an extensive, but not complete list of Miracast-capable devices. If your phone has a wireless display option under Settings > Display, it does Miracast.

Help Me Reach My Goal – Relay for Life 2014

Dear Friends,

I am really excited to be participating in this year’s Canadian Cancer Society Relay For Life. I hope you will consider supporting me in this important event. As many of you know my family lost my younger brother James to cancer in 2010.  He was 31.

Relay For Life is an inspirational overnight fundraising event that brings our community together to celebrate life and fight cancer. Teams fundraise to help the Canadian Cancer Society save lives and support those who are facing cancer now. Then, at Relay, our team members will take turns walking laps all night long.

Every dollar raised at Relay For Life helps the Canadian Cancer Society to have more impact, against more cancers in more communities than any other cancer charity in Canada.

You can click on the link below to support me by donating online. All donations are tax deductible.

Thank you in advance for supporting my efforts,
William Rosenblath

Organized Consumer Fuel Price Protest

I heard the radio today that this week will mark a record for the highest fuel prices seen ever. You may be asking yourself what can I do to keep the gas prices lower?
The answer is Simple, reduce demand.
Only with a coordinated group fuel reduction can we make a difference.
Use electric technologies, carpool whenever possible, buy the most fuel efficient vehicle that meets your needs. Throw out that gas mower and go electric.
Write down all the fuel you purchase in a month in the summer and see if you can cut it by 20% somewhere.
Only together can we make a difference.
