    Hi. Recent recruit to the zwift scene. Enjoyable. Have been using it with a relatively old tablet. I would like to use a bigger screen though. Any (cheap) reccomendations for laptops or tablets I could purchase that would allow for HDMI projection to tv.

    It's possible you could do it with what you have already, is there a screen cast / screen mirror option on your tablet? If it does you could wirelessly display the tablet on a modern TV.

    Don't confuse this with chromecast, thats a different thing entirely and Zwift doesn't support it.

    If it’s Apple you can get a lightning to HDMI connector- I used one for this very purpose for a while. Worked pretty well.

    Thanks for reply. Yeah tried the screen mirroring with both the tablet and my phone. Found it both laggy and jumpy. That's why it prefer the HDMI option

    In that case I’d highly recommend the Apple TV 4k- you’ll get one for little more than 100€- works flawlessly with Zwift and the only thing that will beat it for graphics would be a high end gaming PC.

    Looking online there and cex by far the cheapest for the 4k. Know they'd be second hand. Anyone know what their delivery times are like? Can't click and collect unfortunately

    Does it run on the Amazon alternative the Fire Cube thingy or whatever it's called. Might need the app to be side loaded which isn't difficult. They go for 80ish for the 4k cube I think in Argos.

    Not sure about bluetooth compatibility though for sensors etc.
