Miracast?

[Fishfam4]

Does the Nexus 9 support Miracast? I was thinking that when I buy one I'd like to be able to connect a Bluetooth keyboard, mouse and a monitor (with a Miracast dongle like the Microsoft one) so I could work in Google Docs on a larger display.

I tried Googling, and couldn't find anything, which is either because it's not there or it's standard on all devices.

I don't own one, but from the official Google page, it seems it doesn't. It lists support for Chromecast, but not Miracast.

Well, I guess I could get a Chromecast and use the beta Cast Screen feature...

I could just plug the Chromecast into the monitor's HDMI port, right?

Yup, and Walmart IIRC will have it on sale for Black Friday at 25 bucks.

Cast looks laggy, I wonder if I could get this to work over OTG? http://www.amazon.com/HP-Compaq-Business-L2311c-Monitor/dp/B0078RGMFU/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1415848616&sr=8-1&keywords=Compaq+L2311c

I don't think it'll work as this would certainly need a driver installed. And sadly, this tablet doesn't support HDMI out either, so your only option to 'mirror' this onto a larger screen is wirelessly via Chromecast.

The N9 "mirror" on a large screen using N9'scast screen to Chrome will be 4:3. If your large screen is 16:9 as most TV's/monitor's are these days then you have black bars on either side of the mirrored image.

Chromecast is not a replacement for Miracast.

Miracast is a standard that was shared by Intel and Android and even had some Linux support. What is great about the standard is its use of Ad-hoc wireless connectivity, where Chromecast requires a connection to your normal WiFi network.

Miracast is better in the corporate infrastructure. I wish Google and HTC would change their minds and add support for it to the 9.
