How To Make Screen Mirroring Full On Samsung TV From iPad

Screen mirroring allows you to share your iPad's display on a larger screen, like a Samsung TV. This feature is useful for various purposes, including presentations, watching videos, playing games, and sharing photos. However, you might encounter the issue of screen mirroring appearing in a small window instead of full screen on your Samsung TV. This article will guide you on how to make screen mirroring full screen on your Samsung TV from your iPad.

1. Ensure Compatibility:

The first step is to ensure your Samsung TV and iPad support screen mirroring. Most Samsung TVs released after 2012 support screen mirroring, but you can confirm this by checking the TV's user manual. Your iPad should also support screen mirroring through AirPlay, a feature available on all iPad models.

To check if your iPad supports AirPlay, navigate to the Control Center. You can access the Control Center by swiping down from the top-right corner of your iPad screen (if you have an older iPad) or swiping up from the bottom of the screen (if you have a newer iPad). Look for an icon resembling a TV screen with an arrow pointing upward. If you see this icon, then your iPad supports AirPlay.

2. Connect Your Devices to the Same Wi-Fi Network:

For screen mirroring to work, your iPad and Samsung TV must be connected to the same Wi-Fi network. This allows the devices to communicate with each other and establish a connection for mirroring. Ensure both devices are connected to the same Wi-Fi network before proceeding. If you are having trouble connecting to the same network, try restarting both your iPad and TV.

3. Connect Your iPad to Your Samsung TV via AirPlay:

Once your devices are connected to the same Wi-Fi network, follow these steps to connect your iPad to your Samsung TV via AirPlay:

Open the Control Center on your iPad.
Tap on the AirPlay icon (the TV screen with an arrow pointing upward).
Select your Samsung TV's name from the list of available devices.
Your iPad's screen will be mirrored on your Samsung TV.

However, you may find that the mirrored screen appears in a small window on your TV. To make the screen mirroring full screen, you can try these adjustments:

4. Adjust Your Samsung TV Settings:

If the screen mirroring is not automatically showing full screen, you might need to adjust your Samsung TV's settings. To do this, follow these steps:

Press the
Home
button on your TV remote.
Navigate to
Settings
.
Select
General
.
Choose
External Device Manager
.
Select
Screen Mirroring
.
Look for the
Screen Fit
or
Picture Size
option within the Screen Mirroring settings.
Select
Full Screen
or
Fit to Screen
.

The exact settings and names may vary slightly depending on your Samsung TV model. Check your TV's user manual for specific instructions regarding screen mirroring settings.

5. Restart Both Devices:

If the issue persists, restarting both your iPad and Samsung TV might resolve the problem. Restarting your devices can sometimes refresh their connections and resolve any technical glitches that might be preventing full-screen mirroring. Simply turn off both devices by pressing their power buttons, wait for a few seconds, and then turn them back on.

6. Consider Using a Samsung SmartThings App:

The Samsung SmartThings app can also be used to control screen mirroring on your Samsung TV. By using the SmartThings app, you might be able to adjust the mirroring settings and make the screen appear full screen on your TV.

Download the Samsung SmartThings app from the Apple App Store on your iPad. Open the app and ensure that it is connected to your Samsung TV. You can then adjust the mirroring settings through the SmartThings app and potentially achieve a full-screen mirroring experience.

If you are still experiencing issues with screen mirroring after trying these steps, you should consult your Samsung TV's user manual or contact Samsung customer support for further assistance.
