The big screen in your living room is the perfect way to view the photos and videos you have saved on your smartphone or tablet. Now that most TVs have built-in wi-fi, it's simpler than ever to connect your mobile devices.

As well as photos and videos, a connected mobile device will let you send content from apps. If your TV has particularly good sound, or you've got it hooked up to a soundbar, then you can play the music on your phone through it once you've connected, too. In this guide, we'll explain how to quickly and easily get your mobile device and TV connected so you can start making more use of the biggest screen in your home.

Android Screen Mirroring

There are a few different ways to connect an Android phone or tablet to a TV. The most common is screen mirroring, which lets you show the contents of your device's screen on the TV. This can be done using a cable or wirelessly connecting your devices.

To connect an Android device to a TV using a cable:

  • - Connect one end of the HDMI cable to the HDMI port on your TV and the other end to the HDMI port on your Android device.
  • - If your TV doesn't have an HDMI port, you can use an MHL adapter to convert the HDMI signal into something that your TV will understand.

      • To connect an Android device to a TV wirelessly:

      • - Make sure both devices are on the same network.
      • - On your Android device, open the Settings app and select Display.
      • - Select Cast screen/audio.
      • - Select the TV you want to connect to.
