    I bought the Microsoft Wireless Display Adapter for my TV. Plug it into a HDMI port and a USB port, both of which I have extra of on my TV.

    Then enable screen mirroring on you phone and select the HDMI port you have connected your WDA to with your TV remote and voila you are seeing the screen of your smartphone or your laptop. You can use it to show anything that is on those devices. I used it to mirror ESPN3.COM broadcast of a basketball game not available on Directv, it worked flawlessly and it look like it was getting the signal from Directv not from my WatchESPN App on my SmartPhone.

    You could show your photo's to family or any movie you shot as well. Also can just see your screen very large!

    I was impressed with how easy it was to setup and how clear everything looked.
