Miracast

Can you use Miracast on a monitor instead of a TV.  I have the Dell U2711 monitor.

My PC does use WIFI but does the monitor also have to have WIFI capabilities as a seperate entity?

your monitor has to be miracast compatible for it to work

As for the PC and/or projector you are on the wrong forum, but HDMI to a projector will only trasnmit Video unless, which is highly unlikely, the projector has speakers.

How do I know if my monitor is Miracast compatible even if it is not shown on the website you shown me, does that mean is not compatible?  How do I find out?

If its not on the list its not compatible, now there is another option, you can buy a Miracast WiFi Dongle and then it should work.
