I should add that if you click on the square white icon next to the time on the bottom right of your desktop, settings and connect can be accessed from there......i have had better luck doing things as above for some reason however. Add a device only asks you for a password or times out when tv stops waiting but you can try it for the initial handshake, it worked once for me. Really screwy, huh?

Ok, here's some help.......I've been trying to solve this problem since Christmas! First. there is NO password, it is negotioted between tv and computer and you cant' see it. It's also different each time. You need to follow my next instruction EXACTLY, unless you don't mind ponying up 50 bucks for a MS wireless adapter. (hope this ok to post part #...."p3q-00001"). If u prefer to frustrate yourself this method I invented will work 75% of the time.......disconnect tv from internet. Restart it, leave it on screenshare listen mode? take your pick, one is just as good as the other. Reboot computer, and disconnect that from internet temporarily. (router is not needed for screenshare at this point) Right click on desktop, left click on display settings, then left click connect to wireless display, when "lgwebostv" shows up left click on it. After connection is established computer screen will be frozen on tv..........but this is good b/c now the original connection has been made and a "lgwebostv" icon should have been made that you can see in settings>connected devices on your computer. If not, try again. On the tv, settings>network>wifi direct IS USELESS, don't wast your time but it may work if "accept" shows up just for the purpose of establishing this original handshake. Next, reboot tv first then computer, connected to internet, tv not connected. Now desktop>rt click>lt click disp settings>lt click conn to wireless display, then click on "lgwebostv". I noticed when the dots start spinning, and the cancel buttton on tv turns gray you will connect. If it stays red, it won't This feature is the most unreliable and vexing thing I have ever experienced. Like rubber handle on a toilet! LOL Lg software engineers really need to send a fix! Still want to try this? Be prepared to do this over and over till it works each time you need it. Good luck!
