Sony Bravia KDL-42W700B Review - • Video
** I noticed that screen mirroring kept disconnecting when I was connecting to the internet and connecting the laptop to the TV at the same time. So I tried connecting the TV to the internet to the Wi Fi first & then when I connected my laptop to the same Wi-fi for internet it did not affect or drop the laptop to TV connectivity.

I had the same problem with my Sony Tv and tech support was clueless. I did manage to figure it out on my own ( only after hours and hours of trying possiable solutions). The Key is IF you are using any web browser on your computer (with your computer being a non apple brand) The computer WILL NOT cast to Your TV UNLESS you are using a google chrome browser. Once you download Google Chrome Browser to your computer you should be able to cast to your tv.

Can you cast your TV to laptop. I mean whatever is being displayed on TV to be displayed on your laptop screen??

[@virenpat]

I am sure there would a way, I am guessing via HDMI to HDMI or VGA to HDMI cable because most of the laptops these days have a HDMI port.

[@timpiskorz9557]

It worked for me, but the lag (slow response) from my laptop to my tv was unbearable. So pretty much defeats the whole purpose. No matter if I extend or duplicate. Unless I am missing something. Definitely not my internet connection as that works just fine. Also I have a Sony Bravia tv, so not sure if anybody else has the same issue. Gave this video a thumbs up still because I was able to mirror my laptop to my tv. Just a shame it doesn't perform well enough.

[@virenpat]

Tim couldn't agree less, its kind of slow but then I tried only the movie on the laptop to the extended screen & worked on my latop & lag wasnt that bad

[@xayxxnx]

It detects the TV but then keeps connecting with no success. Does that happen because my Wi-Fi, Laptop, and TV have same name?

well the connection is intermittent at tomes. but you should avoid having same names for all 3

[@ManjinderSingh-rg4bk]

first of all thanks a lot for this video. I have a 2014 Sony BRAVIA (Malaysian model) and almost same hp laptop which you have used. But it doesn't cast either from my moto x4 phone or laptop. and you will not believe that I had a very basic model of a Panasonic smart phone (Rs 5500/-) when i had purchased this TV and that smart phone used to get connected in jus one touch. Other than that, it never connected with my any of the devices. Alas!

How to mirror laptop screen (windows 7 enterprise version laptop) to smart TV?

[@OlivierNaggiar]

Thank you for this video - quite informative! It worked the first time (yesterday), but today my Bravia smart TV updated and, sadly, the mirroring is NOT working anymore... I keep seeing my TV as a device on my laptop (Windows 10), and my laptop appears on my TV as a device as well, however my laptop says that it cannot connect to this network (i.e. my Bravia TV). I wonder how to get it to work again... Hope you can help, please? Thank you in advance.

[@virenpat]

Hi, if i was in your place, I would delete & add the device ( i.e. TV ) to the laptop once again & see if that works.

[@OlivierNaggiar]

@@virenpat Thank you. I tried it already and it seems the laptop and TV are in fact not so compatible since it works some of the time only.

[@heroicgoo915]

Excellent video mate!!!!! Only thing ill say though is it appears that this system itself isnt great. Following all your steps everything went fine, except my laptop simply "couldn't conect". After confirming id done everything correctly i simply tried "Add a device" repeatedly, & after 4 or 5 attempts it finally worked!. From reading the comments here im expecting it to fail/dissapear at some point but hey, nothong you've done wrong !! Great vid (again) , subbed!! P.s btw, i just realised that i didnt even get to choose an option of "Extend" etc. The screen simply popped up on my tv.....i wonder what im watching, a mirror or what? lol

Midhun, I would suggest you go through t he procedure once again because the model you mention supports miracast so it shouldnt be a problem. As far as the connectivity goes, yes I faced the same issue. It took quite an amount of time to connect

Can I mirror laptop to tv and use laptop for other sites and not mess up the movie others in my house are whatching?

[@virenpat]

Yes, thats the whole idea because when you are extending the screen on to the TV, you have 2 screens. So you open a movie & then drag it on to the TV screen & keep working on the laptop.

What we have to connect in laptop

[@aliyarahmanajihati708]

Hello, I just followed this tutorial and I'm following it successfully down to a T until 6:27 (and yes from my PC I have successfully connected to my TV, I get the "remove device" option. The name of my TV even already appeard when I click the "Extend" one). A message could only pop up in my TV (I changed the TV name to "Aliya") IF and ONLY IF I connect to a wifi network name (the SSID of my TV, not the device's name just like you said) in my PC's network list. And when I clicked "Accept" on my TV it connects my PC (though it says my PC name on my TV is "No Name"). But from my PC I still can't connect to my TV?

[@gtguy181]

I'm going to try this out later on in the week, but for now, how is the refresh/speed quality of watching videos on your laptop through the cast onto the tv? Is the playback pretty much sync? Or is there lag? And what about audio? Thanks guy.

[@virenpat]

Tried youtube videos and local music/videos on laptop on TV, I would say performance over 90%

[@civiccoupeperu]

for extending my screen, do i need my laptop and sony bravia to be on the same network?

Hi Jose, yes. Atleast thats what I experienced in my effort.
