How to Screen Mirror on a Sony TV with a Samsung Device

Screen mirroring, or wireless display, is a convenient feature that allows you to share the content of your Samsung device, like a smartphone, tablet, or laptop, on your Sony TV. This enables you to enjoy photos, videos, presentations, and even games on a bigger screen. However, the process of setting up screen mirroring can differ slightly depending on several factors, such as the specific models of your Samsung device and Sony TV, and the operating system versions. This article will explore the common methods for screen mirroring a Samsung device on a Sony TV, providing a step-by-step guide for each approach.

Method 1: Using Miracast

Miracast is a wireless display standard that allows devices to connect directly without requiring an intermediary device like a router. Most modern Samsung devices and Sony TVs support Miracast. Here's how to screen mirror using Miracast:

Ensure both your Samsung device and Sony TV support Miracast. You can check the specifications of your devices or look for a "Miracast" or "Wireless Display" option in the settings.
On your Sony TV, enable Miracast. Navigate to the TV's settings menu, typically accessed by pressing the "Home" or "Settings" button on the remote. Search for "Wireless Display" or "Miracast" and turn it on.
On your Samsung device, open the Quick Settings panel. This is usually accessed by swiping down from the top of the screen. Look for the "Smart View" or "Screen Mirroring" icon and tap on it.
Select your Sony TV from the list of available devices. Your TV's name should appear in the list. Tap on it to initiate the connection.
Accept the connection on your Sony TV. A prompt may appear on your TV screen asking you to accept the incoming connection. Select "Accept" to establish the screen mirroring session.

Once the connection is established, your Samsung device's screen will be mirrored on your Sony TV. You can now control the content on your device, such as playing videos or browsing the internet, and it will be displayed on the TV screen.

Method 2: Using Samsung Smart View

Samsung Smart View is a dedicated app for screen mirroring and controlling Samsung devices on other devices, including compatible Sony TVs. This method is particularly helpful for older Sony TVs that may not support Miracast directly.

Download and install the Samsung Smart View app on your Samsung device. You can find it in the Google Play Store or Galaxy Store.
Ensure your Sony TV and Samsung device are connected to the same Wi-Fi network.
Open the Samsung Smart View app on your Samsung device and select your Sony TV from the list of available devices.
Enter the PIN code that appears on your Sony TV screen into the Smart View app to establish the connection.

Once connected, your Samsung device's screen will be mirrored on your Sony TV. Similar to using Miracast, you can control the content on your device and it will be displayed on the TV screen.

Method 3: Using Third-Party Apps

If the built-in screen mirroring features are not working or you need additional features, consider using third-party apps. Some popular options include:

AllCast: A versatile app that supports screen mirroring and media streaming to multiple devices, including Sony TVs.
LocalCast: Another popular option offering screen mirroring and media casting capabilities with a user-friendly interface.

These apps typically require you to download and install them on both your Samsung device and a compatible app on your Sony TV. Follow the instructions provided in each app to set up screen mirroring.

Remember that the availability of these apps and their compatibility with specific Sony TV models may vary. Check the app descriptions and reviews before downloading and using them.

By utilizing these methods, you can easily mirror the screen of your Samsung device onto your Sony TV, expanding your viewing experience and enjoying content on a larger screen.
