If you’re already browsing the web on your smartphone or tablet and would like to share what you’ve found on your TV screen, mirroring your device is the best way to do so. When you mirror your device, it appears on your TV screen in exactly the same way it does on your smartphone or tablet. You can mirror your mobile device’s screen wirelessly or with an HDMI or VGA cable. Most Smart TVs have a built-in screen mirroring function, making it easy to connect wirelessly to mirror your device’s screen. If this option doesn’t exist, you’ll need to connect via FireTV stick, AirPlay, or Chromecast.
