Media players with Miracast

Miracast

— a technology designed to wirelessly broadcast video and audio from one device to another — via a Wi-Fi connection, but directly, without a router. It is most often used to transfer video from portable gadgets to a large screen: for example, in this way you can display a YouTube video played on a smartphone on a TV. However, the opposite option is also possible — broadcasting a signal from a TV to another device. Many modern TVs support Miracast by themselves, so a media player with this feature is worth buying if the TV itself does not provide it.

Note that AirPlay technology has a similar purpose (see the relevant paragraph), but it has important differences; for more details on them, see the relevant paragraph.
