<div class="moz-cite-prefix">AirPlay mirroring works nicely, other
similar things are few and far between and generally don't work
nicely.<br>
<br>
AirPlay is apple-kit-only, so if you have e.g. a linux or windows
box or an android phone you want to connect, you're out of luck.
There's an open source audio-only implementation though, it's
built into XBMC/Kodi.<br>
<br>
If you have an existing OSX or windows box to run it on, AirServer
(<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.airserver.com/">http://www.airserver.com/</a>) is $15 and works fine with iOS/OSX
devices for airplay mirroring. If you run it on windows (and have
the right wireless adapter...) it'll do miracast, but miracast
seems to be a bit of a mish-mash of implementations at the moment,
so you might not find anything that'll talk to it.<br>

AirPlay will mirror the video and audio to whatever the AppleTV is
connected to.<br>

running OSX 10.8 or newer that's exactly what you can do with
AirPlay display mirroring. I think 10.9 then introduced
AirPlay display extending which allows you to use the ATV box
as a separate monitor.

Apple TV boxes are pretty cheap now but I'm still not
clear on what they actually do. I loath iTunes and don't
buy anything through it, so that's not much use if that's
the only way to control it (as some of the online stuff
seems to indicate).<br>
<br>
What I was hoping was that it would just let you use the
TV like an external monitor and also send audio to it.<br>
