I would like to use the 32" Samsung smart TV as my screen while working on an AOPA flight planning site. The charts I'd be working on has pretty small print and would make life easier for me. What physical connection should I use? Could I use wi-fi in any manner? I have wi-fi-ed the apps to the tv but it could not finish loading. I would like to use the computing power of the laptop and only use the TV as a bigger screen.
