Just so i can see what I'm playing on the big screen.

Hopefully using wireless to do this.

I'm using a Samsung tv which I've heard maybe a problem.

Edit thanks for the replies looks like I'm getting a steam dock

The by far easiest method is to install the Steam Link app on the TV. Though, Samsung removed the app a few years ago for some reason. (Yup, i too had a Samsung TV, though likely my last.)

The next easiest method, though not wireless, is to get a dock or USB hub and then use a HDMI cable.

Alternatively, if you are a little tech-savvy, you could see if you can get Moonlight (please excuse the reddit link) to work, though I have no experience with that tool.

I still have no idea why people try to use the shit built-in stuff on TVs. Just get an Nvidia shield and be done with it. Doesn't even matter what brand the TV is and it's small so it travels great. I take mine when I travel to use on hotel TVs.

Moonlight is great BTW and available on the app store which makes it super easy to install on the shield.
