    Streaming from PC to Smart TV
    « on: October 19, 2014, 07:26:19 AM »
    I am trying to stream video from my Gateway all-in-one PC to my Vizio Smart TV. The TV recognizes the PC by its name but it doesn't show any content to be played.

    You will need to install a media service on that computer for the TV to detect. Then once detected it should then be able to navigate though directory tree or user interface depending on what service you use. Content to view would have to be in the supported content formats of the TV, otherwise files will not show or wont play.

    If you want to clone your display to the tv for games etc, I would go with a HDMI connection or at the least a VGA connection if supported.
