Connect Wirelessly to LG TVs

  1. With TV on, press  Windows Key + K on your teacher laptop to open casting settings.
  2. Select your TV from the list of available options (ID# is on the back of the TV, and on the remote)..




  3. The first time the computer connects to the TV, you will be prompted to accept the connection on the TV using the remote. You should only have to do this once.
  4. When connection completes you'll have the option to let your TV remote control your computer when you connect, which can be handy with slide shows.
  5. You can chose to duplicate or extend your screen by pressing  Windows Key + P for projection settings:


  6. To disconnect, click "Disconnect" on the toolbar.



If the Computer Won't Connect....

Sometimes, especially if you travel between different rooms and TVs, you might run into an instance where the devices don't want to talk to each other.  This can be easily resolved in one of the following ways:
  1. Unplug the TV (from the battery backup, if you have one), and hold the power button (located underneath in the center of the frame) for 10 seconds, then plug it back in.
  2. If that doesn't work, then the issue is with the computer, and you'll need to tell it to forget the TV, then reconnect.  At the bottom of the wireless devices list, click on the link "Find other types of devices", select your TV and click "Remove".  You should be able to reconnect using the directions above. 
If neither of those work, put in a tech ticket, and I'll have to get some chicken blood and candles...
