I'm looking for an inexpensive way to connect a remote monitor wireless to a 2017 MacBook Air running ElCapitan.
Seems an Apple TV is one way to do this.
I can buy a used Apple TV 3rd gen for $40 Cdn. - price is certainly right.
Question: Can I set that up so the display on the MacBookAir shows on a remote monitor using the ATV3 to link the monitor to the MBa?
And what are the main capabilities I'm missing with the 3rd gen that come with the 4th and later generations?
The whole idea is to set up just a monitor in the kitchen for a recipe while cooking rather than have the MBa on the kitchen counter and risk some spill on the keyboard.
Any other way to accomplish that on the cheap with no cables?
