I have a freind that wants to wirelessly connect her new Dell windows 8.1 laptop to her Panasonic viera tx-l39bl6b. There is a wireless broadband router in the house. I don't know enough about maracas to recommend it but I do own a chromecast. She wants to be able to view photos and videos. That's all. So extended desktop isn't completely necessary.

Thanks

If its a smart tv, install tversity onto the laptop.

And on the tv, find the connect pc icon in the smart tv menus.
