Screen Mirorring

[vjicecool]

Hey Folks
Is Apple tv the best for screen mirroring? or any other device. I am planning to play some video games on the TV using apple tv
What about the sound, will sound come from Mac or tv?

----------

Should i buy the apple tv or wait for the new one next week (Assuming they will release a new one next week)

Depends on what you are trying to mirror. If it's other Apple products via AirPlay then yes.

I don't think we will see a new Apple TV for awhile let alone next week unless I missed something huge. Lol

There is some lag to airplay mirroring. If you want to play a game on your big screen I would recommend going old school and directly connecting your MBA

This. Although I haven't tried with Mavericks, there was enough lag with Airplay mirroring in ML that I wouldn't dream of gaming.

Actually in Mavericks the lag is considerably less. I was actually able to play some simple online games with little issue.

With that said, the cursor moves with limited precision. I still wouldn't recommend hard core gaming even with Mavericks.

That's good to know. I'll have to give it a go on Mavericks, if nothing else as a third screen.
