I have a couple of architects that go something similar to what you want I think.
Large Samsung TV mounted on the wall and connected to cable for the news and such. The TV's have, I think Samsung calls it, Anycast included with them. The architects use a Surface Pro 4 and wirelessly send the signals. Technology is called Miracast. Works pretty well with any laptop or tablet that has the software installed. For those that don't, like older Windows 7 devices, I use a product called ScreenBeam by Actiotec, to achieve the same results. The kit includes a transmitter for the laptop and receiver for any TV that has a HDMI port. Makes the kit really portable if the need arises. Easy to setup and inexpensive to try if you already have a current Windows 10 laptop and current big screen TV.

I have had some quotes from AV companies and they seem pretty high for what we need: occasional display for internal presentations, connecting to a standard laptop, connecting to our cable TV for news, etc as needed. My company is HVAC/electrical so we have folks here who would handle system mounting, electrical requirement and such. I was thinking maybe two large TVs, sound bars, HDMI splitter, attached to some sort of signal receiver. Laptop would connect via the signal system. This would be far less than a pro company installing something that would be nice but for us overkill, since we'd need it maybe once a month. Thoughts? Thank you, Tom Sensitivity: Internal
