You know that I tried to get it to work and that Miraclecast is CLI... I think 
the project to try first is gnome-network-displays. It has a beautiful 
interface and LOOKS like it should just w0rk, but it did fail on my Samsung 
UN65MU6500 [6500 series 65"]. But, my TV prolly isn't the NEWEST. Sme users of 
gnome-networks-displays report full functionality. You should try it...

sudo apt install gnome-network-displays

That will give you an app called 'Network Displays' and your TV *will* show 
right up... mine, however, doesn't cast correctly. You simply select which 
screen to share, and then the TV and click connect.

With Miraclecast, I was able to get a little further... the 'connecting to 
Miraclecast' logo showed up on my TV - but I still couldn't get a connection. 

I'd give gnome-network-displays a stock install try first; after which, there 
is some tweaking that you can do w/ shutting down network manager and other 
things; but it isn't a solution I'm willing to do. [Killing my network manager 
and stuff..] HMMMM - I wonder if its as simple as turning off my VPN. I hadn't 
thought of that... I'll make another post if I get it cracking.
