  1. I had read all page one but this is the only thing that worked for me! Interestingly, I could not repeat it until, as per some other suggestions in various fora on the matter. Firstly follow the instructions above. When you get a connection it will probably partially incapacitate your touch screen! the next time you want to connect TURN TV SCREEN SHARE LISTENING MODE OFF FIRST. Then turn the TV off and reboot the tablet ( mine is Dell Venue Pro 5038 Win 10 and plenty of Venue 11s seem to connect perfectly well). Then press CONNECT on the tablet. It will find the LG TV and connect if you are lucky. I cannot guarantee this works every time as I have spent almost all day on this updating chipset, display and wifi drivers as well as trying every conceivable permutuation. I did manage to play one tune on Groove Music without the sound coming from both tablet and TV out of synch like when you use Chromecast and WMP - but of course you have a headphone jack ready for such eventualities! Update: A day later..... I tried quickly to connect tablet and TV to 2.4MHz wifi and disconnected LAN connection to TV. No joy but then it was a quick try so I may have made an error. On returning from the shops I connected both devices to my Devolo wifi powerline network device because it is easier to ensure it is running 2.4MHz since my router system has numerous Sky Q boxes attached each broadcasting a wifi mesh at both frequencies. This is not entirely scientific because I did use the method above turning both devices off first (I think this may preclude the possibility of a failed connection being remembered). Anyway my tablet did connect and was fully functional. The Dell Venue was listed in the wifi connections list as mentioned by others. I have to say that until yesterday I had the wifi off since, I thought, the LAN cable connection made it unnecessary. Having plugged it back in screen share still works but whether it would work next time if disconnected beforehand is another matter. Having just got it sorted I am not turning anything off just now! Just to mention, I have an LG 60UH625V which has exceeded my expectations - a very rare event indeed. Nevertheless, you have to pick your casting option depending on what works best. BT Sport, for example, is best via Chromecast via an iPhone whereas...... you get the idea anyway. Mike.
