When I got my Chrome cast, there were only about 120 apps and in a short few months this has gone up by a further 80. Google Play will have you believe that there are only 9 Chromecast apps when there actually are 203. This little app seeks out all the Chromecast friendly apps for you.

If you have any Android kit then get the Cast Store app. The Wireless Display Adapter is also an Intel Wireless Display (WiDi). Until there is an Industry Standard for these devices such as WiFi and Bluetooth then I think that you have to pays your money and take a chance.įrom what I can tell Chromecast will work on Intel kit, but WiDi will not work on Android kit, but I could be very, very wrong. Share whats on your tablet, laptop, or smartphone on an HDTV or monitor with. Once the Developers expand the codecs to allow different formats, then Chromecast will be worth its weight in gold. With your Surface Pro in the docking station connect it to the WiDi that is on your projector or TV in the classroom 3. To extend press the Windows Key + P on the keyboard and select Extend 2. Surface Pro is in your docking station and extended to your desktop monitor.

As per referenced in the link I posted So long as the driver supports Windows Display Driver Model (WDDM) 1.
I am able to play a limited amount of my TV shows and Movies on my Network Storage Device but at the moment they have to be in specific formats. SURFACE PRO + WIDI + MONITOR WINDOWS 8 1. As above, Miracast, Wi-Di, AMD wireless display et all are based on the GPU, driver and Wi-Fi card and not related to the CPU. This can only mean that Chromecast will break free from its shackles as more and more apps are created for it. However that is all changing since Google released the software stuff to developers. The Chromecast is a nice little gimmick, and as you mention works off a web browser. I don't have a Roku, though I thought long and hard about it but went for a cheap as chips Chromecast. It all works off wifi and so far Roku is winning the marketing battle. From my limited reserch Intel's WiDi is the proprietary version of Miracast and chromecast.
