Is there a wireless solution to connect a Mac PRO computer to a Samsung-TV and use the TV as screen?

A Mac Pro (desktop) or a MacBook Pro (laptop)? And if so, what year was it bought?

Depending on the answers, you may be able to use Airplay Mirroring to send your screen and audio through an AppleTV connected to the TV with an HDMI cable. You would have to purchase the AppleTV ($99).

Hi Annie

Here's the Apple page on Airplay Mirroring.

Basically, it's a way for Macs and iOS devices (iPad, iPhone, etc) to send their screens and sound to an AppleTV on the same wireless network. You connect the AppleTV to your TV using an HDMI cable (they don't come with a cable, so you have to buy one if you don't have a spare), then use its included remote to connect it to your wifi network. (Alternatively, you can cable it to your router with a network cable if it's nearby.)

Once that's done, you would use the Airplay menu on your Mac to mirror to the AppleTV, make sure your TV input is tuned to the correct HDMI port, and you'll see your Mac's desktop mirrored to the TV.

Airplay works with Integrated Graphics modes of recent MacBook computers, and not with the more powerful discrete graphics available in other computers. It takes advantage of some built-in functions of the Integrated Graphics chips.

This does not work in the general case because without those Hardware assists, there is too much overhead and not enough bandwidth to allow it to work.

says that the nMP does AirPlay Mirroring

lllaass-

You are quite right. They seem to have found a way to make the newest Mac Pros do AirPlay mirroring as well. I stand corrected.

You have caught me being out-of-date.

Yes, things do change sometimes. Users have correct me before too.
