Do I need a device to set up WiDi using a Windows 8.1 computer? I understood that I didn't but it won't connect.

Return the TV, it has very limited features/flexibility. I don't know about WIDI but I'm guessing it will not work on this TV based on my frustrations.

What OS does it have? The laptop has to either support WiDi or Miracast. Windows 8.1 supports Miracast: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-8/project-wireless-screen-miracast

There is nothing special about the Wi-Fi. It will work just like any other Windows computer. You should have a name for the Wi-Fi. Open your wireless network configuration and look for the name. Select the name and enter a password if you were given one. This is all you should need to do.

I don't know what WiDi is. I know that we hook up mine to our HDMI hook up on our tv and watch movies from youtube and netflix. I don't know if this answers your question or not but that is all I know about it.

Don't believe so. My computer has WiDi which was supposed to provide the interface between my laptop and the WD Push2TV. Could not get anything but sound (no video) and Western Digital could not help. Need up with an AppleTV device that was a plug and play (minor setup only) and it works great (my laptop is a PC). I have iToons on my computer.

What this does is to replace a HDMI cable with a Widi connection. You need to have a PC with Intel Widi capability. If you can play games with your computer connected to a TV with HDMI, then you can do that with this device instead of the HDMI connection.

You need to have an available wireless network. Sure. You use an item like this with machines that don't have wifi cards built in. But this particular item is junk and I suggest you buy one that has a better user rating.

Sorry to break it to you but the Asus Zenbook does not support Widi. It doesn't use an Intel wireless card, instead it uses Qualcomm's Atheros wifi card. This was also a feature that I wanted but realized that I wouldn't be using it all that much. Plus you would have to buy an adapter, it would be a hassle in my opinion. I'm okay with plugging in a $3 micro-hdmi to hdmi cable.

I actually don't even have Windows 8 on it anymore. One day it randomly crashed, then wouldn't let me play any videos. Then after that it stops letting me connect to wifi at all. Then it pretty much wouldn't let me load anything. I formatted my drive completely, reinstalled Windows 8 and it was still doing it. I ended up just putting Ubuntu on it.

I use the device daily with a Windows 7 64 bit machine. Then I also sometimes connect my Windows 8.1 machine to it. Works fine either way. Dave

Mine shipped with windows 8 but 8.1 was an easy upgrade. I have not had any wifi issues.

Yes, we are running Windows 8.1 and I haven't had any issues. Granted, I use the wifi portion, but it works fine.

yes but you will have to buy a wireless adapter such as Belkin. its a small u.s.b. device that will allow wi fy connection just plug it into your usb port in the back and run the software unless your machine will pick it up. if nothing else go on the manufactures web support and you will find the drivers to install

You should have a lenovo app that would guide you through the connect wizard which is similar to windows. You can get windows to connect for you instead but it is not recommended. Look down on the right corner of your task bar and look for the app. If it has been disabled, then try using Windows connect genie. Try not to get a conflict with Lenovo's app. One more thing, very important....Make sure the radio switch has been activated:-)
