Also comparing wi-fi casting to physical cable connection

The cable is fully superior, I found a “cast” from laptop to monitor is tenuous, it eventually drops and is often laggy or smears/freezes.

True, but one has to work with what one has.

It’s an issue with your hardware (computer/wiFi router/TV...

I use a Mac Mini / WiFi mesh router / Apple TV ==> HDMI to TV.

The Mac Mini has more than 500 movies and we watch them on several TVs often. The video and sound quality is superb and we never have any lag or freeze issues!

Most of the movies I ripped and converted to .mp4 files but at least 150 have been purchased from the Apple store and downloaded.

FWIW the Mac Mini is a 2011 version and the Apple TVs are 3rd generation so it’s not because I’m running the ‘latest’ technology/chip/processor.
