hp spectre x2
Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

Hello 

I have hp spectre x2 12" surfacetop. since its display is 12" and not fulfilling my current requirement so I want to buy hp FHD LED display N240 monitor.

What I have in mind is that I should also buy anycast M2 1080p receiver. Since this LED monitor has HDMI input so if I plugin anycast receiver into hp monitor and connect my tablet to monitor over wirelessly, will it connect to my tablet and this whole arrangement work? and also I'll still be able to use wifi internet ?

Since I am going to invest I thought I should ask experts because everywhere on internet there are hundreds of tutorials between laptop and TV but not about monitors.

 

 

P.S. I do not know what differeniates a LED monitor and HDTV these days except for size.

Yes the relative resolution of the laptop screen and the remote wireless display does not seem to matter the "fill" of the screen is often just a bit off. 

 

The best results I have achieved with any external monitor come from Displayport, either directly or with a USB-C/Thunderbolt 3 to DP connector. Next best is HDMI either direct or Tbolt to HDMI. 

 

You will have a much better experience in terms of response rate, etc. with a direct cable connection from computer to monitor/tv. The casting devices are cool but just not meant for daily computing, just to stream content, really.

I have done it (miracast, anycast) with a monitor. Its a fairly easy way to do something like a powerpoint presentation. The problem is it is hard to get the screen to align just right on the monitor. Its OK for occasional use, netflix or a powerpoint but using it as your daily monitor might be diffficult. Part of the top or sides of the display tends to get chopped off just a little. 

 

But it will work just as you envision it. The wireless card in the table will still allow internet and network access.

Thanks for your reply

I think you are talking abiut traditional tv type monitor if i am understanding correctly but i am saying about led which has 1920x1080 pixel display where as my tablet has 1920x1280 pixel display, so if i equalize both devices resolution, would it still be same issue as to which you are referring to? 

As a test i connected another laptop with hp Led 20" via vga cable and it worked fine there. Since my tablet does not has vga output therefore i was thinking anycast as a solution but if i connect it with a type c usb to vga/hdmi adapter instead of anycast, would that give me any advantage. Please what would you recommend as i want it to use on daily basis  occasionally, any suggestion?
