You plan/requirements being:

You are watching YouTube Video on your computer. The graphics card has two video ports and the graphics card/drivers support dual monitors.

And you want to wirelessly connect one of those ports to the Sony Bravia with the end result being that the computer monitor and Sony Bravia display the same image. I.e., a duplicate image.

WIN + P presents four options. The option you need, if I follow correctly, is "Duplicate" to mirror the computer monitors image on a second monitor screen.

What you need then is something similar to this product...

Transmitter is connected to the computer's second monitor port and the receiver to the Sony Bravia.

Google "Wireless HDMI transmitter receiver kit". Or change the search criteria as necessary to fit your connections.

Full disclosure: I provided the Actiontec product link as an example because I purchased a set some months ago. Temporarily out of use pending some room re-arrangements but it did work albeit a bit problematically.
