And it works! The picture and sound quality is great so whether it's a regular web page, or an online video site, I can stream it to the TV. Now I can cast any tab from my computer's Chrome browser, whether on a PC or a Mac. All of this was really easy and took just a few minutes. That did two things: installed the Chromecast application on my computer (to configure the device) and then installed the Chrome browser extension required for casting from the computer to TV. Then switch on the TV, and follow the on screen instructions from the Chromecast itself, which directs you to the setup website from your computer, phone or tablet. Plug into the TV, connect the USB cord for power, either to the supplied power adaptor or a spare USB port on your TV. So, $35 to solve even some of this, is money well spent in my opinion. Whether it's the inconvenience of cables (which are never long enough), getting the screen resolution set right, making the audio come through TV's speakers instead of the computer's, or just lack of a remote control, it's a never-ending world of hassle connecting the computer to the television. For years I've messed around with connecting my laptop to the big screen in the living room, and yes, it works, but it's always been a lot more fiddly than I'd like.
