WTH is Plex?
So what would be the advantage of using this instead of running a hdmi cable from your computer to the television? Aside from it being wireless?
I use ps3 media server. You stream from computer to xbox ps3 or whateverhttp://www.plexapp.com/
In short, you install Plex Media Server onto your computer where your files are located. You then can stream those files from that computer to the Plex app which you can install on a Roku, PS3, XBOX, to your phone, to Apple TVs (through a workaround that I've personally used). That's basically it. It's an easy to install and use interface for media streaming.
It's free for the server and to install it on your streaming devices, and the Android app cost money but I bought it on sale a little while ago.
I just grabbed a Chromecast, then ended up grabbing a smart tv that I caught on sale. The chromecast is getting returned tomorrow

So basically I got the chromecast because I read about being able to mirror your chrome browser to your TV. The only thing is there is no sound, low quality, and very laggy. Do you guys know of any devices that allow you to mirror your computer(macbook) to your TV wirelessly?
Hows the quality of it?Apple TV.
