Struggling to connect to Smart tv either by cast or hdmi

[Adaz1970]

I have a HP chromebook and can find no way to connect it to my smart tv. I naively thought it would mirrorcast like my android devices but obviously it doesn't. I looked at various forums for guidance and bought an hdmi adaptor to connect via usb c port. This doesnt work either. Any help would be appreciated. 

My chromebook is HP-15-de0500na and whilst its not top of the range it did cost £350 (which i am starting to regret spending)

FYI - on my display menu there is no "mirror option".

Please help,

Thanks

I reviewed your post and I understand that you are trying to connect the laptop to your TV.

Don’t worry, I assure you I will try my best to get this sorted.

You will not be able to connect the laptop to the TV. The USB C port on your computer doesn’t support the display.

Let me know how it goes and you have a great day!

Thanks for your response.

You have asked me to let you know how I got on.  But you told me that there is nothing I can do to connect my chromebook to my smart TV. What am I supposed to tell you that I did? 

Confused and very cheesed off. Why can display not come out of the USB c ports?!!!!

The USB C port on your computer doesn't support display which is why you will not be able to connect a display.

I hope that answers your question.

Thanks!
