Hello frineds,
First of all, please forgive me for my imperfect English (It's not my mother-tongue).

I was looking for information on the web, but have not received answers to some questions and I would like to get some of your help, please:

I have a Samsung Tab 3 10.1" (model 5210) tablet and a Sharp TV (not a smartTV) with USB and HDMI inputs.
I would like to watch movies I downloaded to my tablet - on the TV screen and looking for a good way to do it (preferably wireless). I need a way to mirror my tablet on TV, to be specific.

1. Is there any possibility at all? If so:
2. Does ChromeCast doing the work? (Again, we're discussing about downloaded video files from the web, not watching YouTube and similar)
3. If ChromeCast can't do it, is there a wireless device that does this? I heard about "EZcast", what do you think about it? I'd be happy to have your recommendation.
4. If there's no wireless option -what kind of cable will I have to connect the the TV?
5. Other things that I should know? (Video-Audio sync... etc)

Thanks in advance,
PT
 
Read this thread, solution (maybe) towards bottom of the page:

Not sure if it requires a smart tv or not.

Another possible solution is to get a Chromecast and if it doesn't work from the tablet directly , it might work by casting from a laptop/pc w/Chrome and the Chromecast app. This will mirror your screen to the tv. Don't know how laggy it will be though.
