The by far easiest method is to install the Steam Link app on the TV. Though, Samsung removed the app a few years ago for some reason. (Yup, i too had a Samsung TV, though likely my last.)
The next easiest method, though not wireless, is to get a dock or USB hub and then use a HDMI cable.
Alternatively, if you are a little tech-savvy, you could see if you can get Moonlight (please excuse the reddit link) to work, though I have no experience with that tool.
I still have no idea why people try to use the shit built-in stuff on TVs. Just get an Nvidia shield and be done with it. Doesn't even matter what brand the TV is and it's small so it travels great. I take mine when I travel to use on hotel TVs.
Moonlight is great BTW and available on the app store which makes it super easy to install on the shield.
