A standard HDMI cable is still the best way to get your PC's screen onto a TV. This is true whether that computer is a living room PC using a TV as it's only video output, or PC with its own monitor that's mirroring the contents of the primary display to the TV.
Getting this solution hooked up is pretty simple. You probably already have an HDMI cable. If you don't, you can buy a cheap cable like this one ($7) and skip the unnecessary expensive cables. Plug one end into an HDMI port on the back of your TV and the other into the HDMI port on your laptop or desktop. Switch the TV to the necessary input and you're done! You can also use the display options on your PC to configure how the display works---whether the TV mirrors your main display or functions as a secondary desktop.

That's the theory. In practice, many modern laptops don't ship with a built-in HDMI port---at least, not a full-sized one. Modern, super-thin laptops just don't have space for those large ports. You can still connect your laptop to a TV with an HDMI cable, though---you'll just need the necessary adapter for the port your laptop does include.
Google's inexpensive Chromecast offers an easy way to get your computer's display onto your TV without any cables. While Chromecast is generally used to "cast" content from a specific app or web page to your TV, you can also cast a specific browser tab. Not only that, but the Chromecast browser extension also lets you cast your computer's entire desktop to your Chromecast, and thus view it on your TV.

Miracast is supposed to be an open alternative to Apple's AirPlay, allowing you to "cast" an Android or Windows device's display wirelessly to a TV or set-top box. Support for casting is built into the latest versions of Android, Windows, and Windows Phone. Your TV may or may not include Miracast, although it's appearing on more streaming boxes like the Roku.

Unfortunately, we've found that Miracast is a bit hit-or-miss. Sometimes it works well, sometimes it doesn't. And it isn't always easy to track down the reason it might not be working. We've had difficulty getting it going on devices that we knew supported Miracast.
For those reasons, we recommend you try Miracast last. If you have hardware that supports Miracast, feel free to give it a shot, of course. But don't go out of your way to buy Miracast-enabled hardware, as there's a good chance you'll be disappointed with the experience. Miracast clearly needs more time in the oven before it can hope to become the easy-to-use, interoperable standard it's supposed to be.

There are other ways to get stuff onto your TV, of course. If you're into PC gaming, you may want to try getting a living room box that can stream games from your gaming PC and display them on your TV. However, you'll still get better results with a long HDMI cable that connects that gaming PC directly to your TV. When it comes to getting the contents of your computer's display on your TV, the wired HDMI cable is still king.
