Broadcast From Win7 Laptop To TV

I have some ideas on how I'd do it, but I'm not sure that I'm not looking at too much effort and equipment to do it.

I have a Win 7 laptop and a Jensen TV in the TT. I'd like to be able to broadcast content from my laptop to the TV. I have a MiFi it that matters.

How would you go about this?

Thanks,

    Screen or just a file (mp4, avi, mkv etc)?

    If the later Plex media server and smart tv or roku would work. Some DVD / Blue ray players have DLNA capabilities.

    If the former connect via HDMI. You might be able to use a dongle with some mirroring software.

    Yeah, I have PLEX and a Roku and also an Apple TV. I only will want to broadcast .avi and .mp4's (from my Apple purchases) and on occasion a Hulu Plus movie (where the MiFi comes into play)

    Cool, I'll do that!

    I never even noticed that my Laptop has a HDMI port until tonight!

    Appreciate the help!
