How to Screen Mirror Your Mac to an LG TV

Are you looking to share your Mac's screen with a larger audience? Look no further! With AirPlay, you can easily mirror your Mac's screen to an LG TV, allowing you to watch movies, presentations, and more on the big screen. In this article, we'll walk you through the steps to get started.

To begin, make sure both your Mac and LG TV are connected to the same Wi-Fi network. You can then look for the AirPlay icon near the play controls for the video you're watching. This icon will allow you to activate AirPlay from within some apps and websites.

Once you've activated AirPlay, you can choose to disconnect by clicking on the AirPlay menu again and selecting 'Stop AirPlay.' If you want to change the resolution of your screen, click on the AirPlay menu again and select 'This Mac' or 'Your Apple TV' (or the name of your smart TV if that's what you're using).

If this is the first time you've used AirPlay from your Mac to your LG TV, it may display code on the TV that you'll need to type into a dialog box on your Mac to confirm. Once confirmed, you can choose your Apple TV or smart TV from the AirPlay menu.

To check if AirPlay is available, go to System Preferences > Displays and select 'Show mirroring options in the menu bar when available.' If the icon isn't there, click on the Control Center icon in the menu bar and select 'Screen Mirroring.'

For MacBook users running Catalina or Mojave, the process is slightly different. To disconnect AirPlay, click on the menu next to 'AirPlay Display' and choose 'Off.' Then, click on 'Control Center' and select 'Display Preferences.'

When you're done mirroring your Mac's screen, simply click on the Control Center icon in the menu bar again and select 'Stop Screen Mirroring.' Your Mac's display will no longer be mirrored on the TV.

Overall, AirPlay is a convenient way to share your Mac's screen with an LG TV. With these simple steps, you can easily mirror your Mac's screen and enjoy a larger viewing experience.
