Ummm, it doesn't appear to say that you need a

True. It is saying that SOMETHING is needed to
which

the TV can function as



a monitor. In the context of this thread (see
subject)

that would be a



laptop.







It's not even saying that. The smartphone, PC, or
tablet

is just used

to *control* what happens on the TV.



OK, "monitor" was a poor choice of words; nevertheless,
the laptop (for this

thread) is needed.



What do you mean a laptop is needed? If the OP has a
smartphone, she
can use that with Chromecast. Or a tablet.

She specifically asked about laptops. Not smart phones, not
tablets...laptops.

Someone provided a link to a gizmo and asked if a laptop was even needed. I
replied to that reply pointing out that the provided link specifically said
that an external device was needed. I don't care which one she - or you -
use but OP asked about laptops.
