I can recommend Chromecast of you are thinking of indulging. I take loadsa of videos on my overseas trips and it's surprising the details you mid when viewing from your phone as opposed to a 42 inch TV screen.
@jonsie Good Morning.
My interest in this new tech was ignited when you originally posted ,and now @Anonymous has gone and ignited it all over again.
Jay if you buy one could you please also share your thoughts ?
I note in one of your screenshots the O2 Community Forum is displayed on your TV.
How practical is accessing and using the forum this way ?
As you know I've issues with eyesight so something like this could be a godsend

It seems strange at first but I do it occasionally when I've been watching videos or viewing photos from my laptop. The only downside is that you don't see the mouse pointer on the TV although I believe there is a programme to get round that. There is also a nano-second delay when typing.
To be honest it isn't designed for that, more for streaming content such as films, Youtube, photos and videos from your phone/PC but general web browsing is also good.
You can also use apps such as pushbullet to show documents, photos etc to the TV.
For £30 it's an inexpensive way to enjoy things on the big screen. I stream football rather than pay for Skysports or Virginmedia sports.
Cheers jonsie for your insight.
Much appreciated.
Much appreciated.
hey guys my friend has Chromcast and on his screen you never see pointer etc as he is streaming from his tablet and as for me i will be streaming from iphone so that will never be an issue and as for a nano delay that is fine as i will be looking at the big screen not phone.
BOB i have a 52" HD back lit tv so i think it will be a good one I am off to buy the chrome cast today and yes matey i will let you know, hope your all having a great weekend thus far
Cheers Jay
Look forward to your hands on thoughts.
I'm having a relaxed one thank you. And the same to you.
