The short answer is yes. There isn't a "wireless" or "bluetooth" type capability that allows you to just automatically connect. But the most simple (and best quality) way to do so is to simply get an HDMI cord and connect it from the TV to your laptop. There's a decent chance that your laptop does not have an HDMI outlet, so in this case, you would have to obtain both an HDMI cord, and an HDMI converter (adapter) - creates a slight hassle up front, but shouldn't cost more than $10-$15 bucks for all this. Plug the HDMI cord into the TV on one end, and into the converter on the other end. Then plug the converter into the appropriate spot on your laptop. If you're unsure of what type of converter to use, just bring your laptop into Bestbuy and ask. The price of these items in the store is expensive, so you're only going to the store to find out exactly what to get. Write it down and then purchase on amazon. One thing to note is that HDMI connection can now be done wireless, so if you're like me, and working in an Office - this could be an option but will run you roughly $200 dollars for a Wireless HDMI transmitter/receiver (and then you'd still need the same converter as described above if your laptop doesn't have an HDMI port). It's worth noting that an HDMI to HDMI connection is the only way to make the Roku TV show your laptop or PC screen. There are other USB ports but they don't support this capability. The good news is that you can probably spend less than $15 dollars and less than a half hour to get everything done with the HDMI connection.

Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I have found the "casting to device " works 70% of the time. Rebooting the pc prior to "casting" really helps. When it works it works great. I use it for showing pictures more than movies.
