Hi,

try to connect my Lenovo MIIX PC with Windows 10 to my Bravia KD-55XE8599 and it nearly works.

I can see my computers desktop bu tthere is a lag of around 30 second on everything I do on the computer and until it is showed on my Bravia.

Not much to have actually.

Regards

Hi there

In general there is lag when using Miracast technology to screen-mirror a PC to a TV wirelessly. However 30 seconds is well.... massive. Which is not normal.

First thing to do is change the wireless channel on your router.

Next thing is - do you need to screen-mirror the PC wirelessly? A direct connection using a HDMI cable is the way to go.

The other thing is, do you need to screen-mirror at all? If you are just watching movies etc from files on your computer, you can enable DLNA server settings within Windows 10 and stream content that way.

Cheers

Hi Quinnicus,

thanks for your answer.

Tried to change channel on my router but no success. I also toke the opportunity to upgrade the firmware on the router but still not any better.

I do connect my computer wireless to a Samsung TV and then its working very well so thats why I suspect that something is wrong with the Sony Bravia.

I whant to use the TV instead of a projector and my HDMI is broken on the computer, thats why I'm trying.

Regards

Have you tried mirroring your phone screen? Just to check if you still get the same large time gap in the transmission. If it still happens sure it is the television. Personally I tried the mirroing few times with both Android 6.01 and 7.0 (only from the phone. My Mac doesn't support it) and rough quality apart the lag was acceptable.

Hi there

So as a summary:

Screen Mirroring from PC to KD-55XE8599 is approximately 30seconds lag
Screen Mirroring from PC to Samsung TV = Fine
Screen Mirroring from Phone to KD-55XE8599 = Fine
Screen Mirroring from Tablet to KD-55XE8599 = Fine

Is that the case. If so, considering the Phone and Tablet work, then the TV is fine. But considering the PC works on the Samsung TV, then the PC is fine too. So what to do, what to do.... Pass - I do not know. You could try un-pairing the PC from the TV and starting again?

If you can confirm this is correct and unless other forum members can help, the only thing I can really do is pass this thread onto Sony Support.

Hi,

your summary is correct and I have also tryed with a total reset of my TV, but no success.

I beleive the error lays in Android. Thats the difference between Samsung and Sony.

Nothing to do then more than hoping for an Android update to come that perhaps fix the problem.

Tanks for your help.

Well, I wouldn't rule out Windows 10 so fast. Or your specific Windows configuration. Another test to do would be to check if with another Windows 10 system (a laptop would do, so you don't have to move around a whole desktop!) it works.

I have a Mac but I may try to fire up a Windows 10 virtual machine, and see what I get from there. I'll keep you posted.

Ok, you are right. Tested with another Lenevo PC with Windows 10 and it worked just fine.

Updated my Wireless drivers and checked that I have the latest Graphic driver but still no success.

Any clues on where to look in settings and drivers? The mystery is still that it works on a Samsung TV.

Hi again,

found a mysterious "solotion" on the problem by accident. If I run a video in my Web-browser when connecting it works fine. Practically no lag!!

If I close the web-browser, while connected, the time lag appears again?!?

Is this making any sense to anyone?

I have a KD55x7000D and am having similar issue, can connect via wireless mirroring fine, but very significant delay which exponentially becomes worse to the point where the displayed image is frozen. I am trying to connect with a microsoft surface laptop and similar thing happens when I try an asus laptop (both windows 10). Other devices such as mobile phones seem to work without issue. Casting from google chrome also works fine (only minor lag). Have used this same surface laptop to screen mirror with an LG TV without issues. Connecting via HDMI cable solves the issue but this is not wireless! So it appears to be an issue with the sony wireless mirroring (?miracast). All computer and TV drivers and updates are up to date.

I am having the exact same issue.

UPDATE (I made a video):

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TGq4QmRKA3E

I've tried all the seeming normal solutions like resetting everything, changing router channels AND the crazy solutions like running a web browser when you start the mirroring vs. not.

NO SUCCESS.

The lag grows exponentially. That is the strangest part. At the beginning of the mirror, it starts with maybe about a 1/2 second delay. But it keeps getting worse.

By the way, my computer (Dell XPS 15 i7) mirrors perfectly with 2 different Samsung Smart TVs. The Sony TV is the problem.

I have the exact same issue!

With newest Windows in June 2018!

This is just one more disapointment in the Sony support. It's like the general moto is: Just let the users discuss their issues and let them help them selves, no need to actually do anything.

It is really easy to reproduce this issue! Just connect a windows laptop over wireless to a bravia.

I can confirm that delay and that it gets slower exponentially.
I can also confirm that if I play a youtube video, it immediately gets fast and reactive. When the video is finished, it gets slow, very slow, again.

It could as well be a Windows issue but as a user I do not want to research for two multi-billion enterprises! (Sony & Microsoft)

I really expect them to fix this issue and restore user trust and satisfaction!

Tackle it Sony!

Hi, I have purchased Sony Bracis 49" 7500F from UAE and I am facing similar issue stated above.

1) I tried to connect Sony with my Hp laptop having Intel HD5500 / AMD R5 M3303 laptop, but the lag almost freezes the TV screen for more than 5 mins

2) I have tried to screen mirrior the same latopn with Samsung 43" Nu 7100 , it worked fine

3) Screen mirriong and chromecast works fine with my Samsung Note 8

4) Infact I went on to exchange my Samsug for Sony and I end up with this.

5) I tried all solution mentioned above but no luck. It seems like there some sort compatability issue with Windows and Android

Hey there,

same problem here in the French community, still not solved by SONY since first encountered in 2016 :

Hi,

same issue but I have found a quite easy solution.

Basically if you have a smart tv, you should have a device which runs an Android OS.

Therefore all "Android" smart TV must include Chromecast capability (not that sure actually..)

Anyway, I hope your Sony TV has Chromecast feature 🙂

Thus you follow these instructions you find below

https://www.lifewire.com/use-chromecast-to-show-windows-desktop-4129536

It worked fine.

Cheers
