How to Screen Mirror a Mac to an LG TV

Screen mirroring, also known as screen casting, allows you to wirelessly display the contents of your Mac's screen on a compatible TV. This can be useful for sharing presentations, watching videos, playing games, or simply enjoying a larger viewing experience. If you have an LG TV and a Mac, there are a few ways to set up screen mirroring. This article will guide you through the process, step by step.

Using AirPlay

AirPlay is Apple's built-in technology for wirelessly streaming audio and video content from Apple devices to compatible devices, including LG TVs. To use AirPlay for screen mirroring, your LG TV must support AirPlay 2. Here's how:

Ensure your LG TV supports AirPlay 2. You can find this information in the TV's user manual or by checking the LG website. Newer LG TVs typically come equipped with AirPlay 2 support.
Connect your Mac and LG TV to the same Wi-Fi network. Both devices must be connected to the same wireless network for AirPlay to work properly.
On your Mac, open Control Center by clicking the Control Center icon in the menu bar or by pressing the function key (Fn) and F10 simultaneously.
Click the "Screen Mirroring" option. You will see a list of available AirPlay devices, including your LG TV. Select your LG TV from the list.
Enter the passcode, if prompted. Some LG TVs may require you to enter a passcode on the TV screen to establish the connection. This passcode will be shown on your LG TV screen.
Your Mac's screen should now be mirrored on your LG TV. You can now use your Mac as usual, and the screen content will be displayed on the TV.

Using a Third-Party App

If your LG TV does not support AirPlay 2, you can still use a third-party app to screen mirror your Mac. There are several apps available in the Mac App Store that offer screen mirroring capabilities. Here's how to use a third-party app:

Download and install a screen mirroring app from the Mac App Store. Some popular options include Reflector 4, AirServer, and LonelyScreen. These apps are generally compatible with LG TVs.
Connect your Mac and LG TV to the same Wi-Fi network.
Open the app on your Mac.
Follow the app's instructions to set up screen mirroring. This may involve selecting your LG TV from a list of available devices or entering a passcode.
Your Mac's screen should now be mirrored on your LG TV.

Using a USB-C to HDMI Adapter

If you prefer a wired connection, you can use a USB-C to HDMI adapter to connect your Mac to your LG TV. This method is reliable and does not require Wi-Fi connectivity.

Purchase a USB-C to HDMI adapter. Make sure the adapter is compatible with your Mac and LG TV.
Connect the USB-C end of the adapter to your Mac's USB-C port.
Connect the HDMI end of the adapter to an HDMI port on your LG TV.
Switch the input source on your LG TV to the HDMI port that the adapter is connected to.
Your Mac's screen should now be displayed on your LG TV.

Regardless of the method you choose, make sure your Mac and LG TV are compatible with the specific technology being used. If you encounter any issues, consult your Mac's and LG TV's user manuals or contact Apple or LG support for assistance.
