Sony AF9 and screen mirroring

In Sony AF9 is not present Screen mirroring function. It is therefore not possible to connect the TV to Windows 10 with Connect Windows 10. How can this be avoided without using integrated chromecast?

Hi @Sony-a1,

 

You are asking a good question. In previous models to your TV the Screen Mirroring feature is indeed available, but very unfortunately the feature has been often reported as very unsatisfactory. So probably that has been somehow related to the decision for excluding it from the newer TV models like the AF9.

 

I believe if you are after wireless streaming of your Windows desktop (e.g. PowerPoint presentation) there are not yet any solutions available for your TV. You could possibly check if Splashtop, AnyDesk or TeamViewer perhaps have a solution to remotely be able to view your Windows desktop (through internet) on your TV. Perhaps other expert users on the community have better suggestions.

 

But it does look as if indeed your best available option is to choose for the Microsoft Wireless Display Adapter V2‎ or simply go with the hard wired and always reliable HDMI cable.

 

Hope you find that useful.

Cheers,

Dutchice
