Screen mirroring has become increasingly popular as a convenient way to share content from one device to another. If you own a Mac and a Sony TV, you can easily mirror your Mac's screen to your TV using a few simple steps.

There are two main methods to screen mirror your Mac to a Sony TV: using an HDMI cable or using AirPlay. Let's explore both methods in detail.

An HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface) cable is a physical connection that transmits both audio and video signals. To use an HDMI cable for screen mirroring, you will need the following:

Once you have the necessary equipment, follow these steps:

Connect one end of the HDMI cable to the HDMI port on your Mac.

On your Sony TV, select the HDMI input that corresponds to the port you used.
Your Mac's screen should now be mirrored on your Sony TV.

Using AirPlay

AirPlay is a wireless technology that allows you to mirror your Mac's screen to an Apple TV or other AirPlay-compatible devices, including Sony TVs. To use AirPlay for screen mirroring, you will need the following:

A Mac running macOS Sierra or later

Both devices must be connected to the same Wi-Fi network

Once you have the necessary equipment, follow these steps:

On your Mac, open the Control Center by clicking on the icon in the menu bar.
Click on the Screen Mirroring icon.
Select your Sony TV from the list of available devices.
