#1 Post by gguava01 » Fri Sep 28, 2012 9:47 pm

does anyone has experience to use intel WIDI on T420 to connect to Sony Bravia TV or any other TV with DLNA?
I tried it but so far still no luck.

WiDi and DLNA are not compatible technologies. For WiDi, very few models of TV support it built in. There is a Netgear Push2TV adapter you have to get to use WiDi.

DLNA works over WiFi or ethernet. You set up a DLNA server on your laptop and then log into the server with the TV's DLNA app.
