It seems like Apple wants me to spend 200 USD on an Apple TV just to wirelessly mirror my MacBook's display onto my smart tv.
Yea I've used airplay before and noticed that with text, thanks for the reminder. If I'm going to work off the tv, I'll probably connect it with a cable and use my wireless keyboard/mouse to operate the laptop. I'd mainly like the wireless functionality for video.
Is there really no way to get around this? I'm not afraid of technical solutions.

Likewise, you can do the same with:
The above are only some examples. In all cases you need to have good Wi-Fi for these options to work.
NOTES:
- The above products are from the same developer, but there are other options out there.
- I am not affiliated in any way with the above products.
