View android screen remotely on PC.

Up to and including kitkat, it has been largely impossible to see an android screen remotely without root access. However, that has changed with lollipop.

Install Teamviewer Quick Support (TQS) on android, and Teamviewer (TVR) o!n PC.

Open up TQS on tablet and note id number.

Load TVR on PC, and enter ID no of android.

It will connect even over internet, and display what is on android on PC. You still need root access to get full control (some non rooted devices are supported - see other Teamviewer apps in Playstore).

You will not be able to see videos playing.

The main reason for doing this is to be able to help your dear old ma or pa, your boss etc from a distance, as you can talk then through the screens. If they have a Teamviewer supported phone, you will even be able to take remote control (see website for more details).

There is an allcast app that will allow remote viewing but it is not as slick or powerful.

This is the first real reason I have found that makes upgrading to lollipop worth it.

Update: I have just come across a neat package called Reflector 2 which basically emulates a miracast or a chromecast dongle, making it very easy to mirror cast from a phone to a PC.

Doesn't handle internet access (yet?).
