How to connect Lenovo Tab to Samsung TV screen wireless
-
I have a
- Lenovo TB-X605L - rc channel - updateted 28.09.2022 (2022-W39)
- Samsung TV set (can't find out the model, large screen, pretty old
Instructions:
Turn on TV
The TV device has to be connected to your LAN (I guess. Didn't try without).On the Tablet (language is German, therefore you will have to guess what I mean)
- turn on WLAN (BT not needed)
- go to Systemeinstellungen/Helligkeit & Anzeige
-- turn on Externer Bildschirm
-- go to Kabelloses Anzeigegerät
-- Samsung TV set should show -> tap it
-> UT appears on the TV screen in desktop mode
-> pressing "info" on TV remote control the TV says "Screen Mirroring"
-> Tablet display changes to kind of a touchpad with two buttons for left click and right click
-> Also tablet display shows a button for an onscreen keyboard which works when needed (e.g. Teleports)In order to return to TV go to Systemeinstellungen/Helligkeit & Anzeige and turn off Externer Bildschirm.
tbh using the large TV screen as a display sucks because it's just too large. It's difficult to control the mouse pointer. May be changing the settings on the TV set or the tablet helps (I didn't try). Or maybe it's cool for watching youtube.
If you have a different Samsung device try it anyway. As far as I know Samsung has changed the OS on recent models but maybe it will work anyway.

You can use deepl to translate text before posting it here

@keneda
True. But how can I check if or if not deepl gave me proper results? -
@muskist With all respect: every result from deepl, proper or not, is better than to let people guess what you mean
-
@messayisto
Same respect to you: why not do it yourself? -
@muskist
"Best" reason is the forum rules.
Community langage is english.
That's not up to every reader to translate, that's up to poster to translate once and for all. -
@muskist First off, I want to thank you for this comprehensive, step by step tutorial you took the time to write up on the forum as a reference for other users. It is very much appreciated.
I would like to encourage you to maybe add some screenshots in the correct places to illustrate the steps. This will help users who use a different language in the OS interface to follow along, and it might not matter as much that your OS is set to German.
Again, thank you for your contribution.

@arubislander Thank you!
I have to admit it's pretty silly to write that down and then make it unnecessarily difficult to understand.
I have set my device to English (US) and give this version:

On the Tablet
- turn on WLAN (BT not needed)
- go to System Settings/Brightness & Display
-- turn on External display
-- go to Wireless display
-- Samsung TV set should show -> tap it

-> pressing "info" on TV remote control the TV says "Screen Mirroring"
-> Tablet display changes to kind of a touchpad with two buttons for left click and right click

(...)@arubislander I appreciate your approach.
