Neutrino Supercharged November 17, 2018 Share November 17, 2018 My laptop has a mini display port and a USB port. My TV has three HDMI ports all in use and a few USB 2 and a USB 3 port. Any way I can watch stuff from my laptop on my Smart TV? My missus wants to watch a Chinese TV series - The story of Yanxi Palace - which she can get on the laptop but would be better watched on the Smart TV. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jamesc Hypersonic November 17, 2018 Share November 17, 2018 (edited) Load the movie on a usb and plug the usb into the TV. Edited November 17, 2018 by Jamesc 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamesc Hypersonic November 17, 2018 Share November 17, 2018 I forgot to ask is it a genuine version? If its a pirate copy I cannot help as I don't want to be assisting piracy. If its not genuine which I thought please ignore my suggestion. My advice is only for legally bought and paid for movies. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Galantspeedz Turbocharged November 17, 2018 Share November 17, 2018 ????? I thought it was obvious I'm not techie minded. Not that obvious... go to your tv source or settings and see if you can find either of this word..... If you are using samsung s8+, it is called smart view. If other phones, Google Basically when you click smart view and connect to your tv. The tv will replicate what is on your phone Alternatively give us the model of your tv and handphone... Someone should be able to advise you 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vratenza Supersonic November 17, 2018 Share November 17, 2018 (edited) Taobao, Qoo10 will have. Very cheap.

mersaylee Hypersonic November 18, 2018 Share November 18, 2018 Side track a bit. I recently inherited a smart tv and it would sometimes automatically switched on its own from tv to YouTube mode and the top of the screen would displayed “OPPO (then a few numbers)”. My daughter is the only person under roof uses an OPPO hp. But only once it screened exactly what she was watching on YT at the dining area. What give? 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamesc Hypersonic November 18, 2018 Share November 18, 2018 Easiest way. Smart TV so it has internet access just like a computer so can download the movie on to the TV. No need to load movie to laptop and then connect to TV. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
