How to Screen Mirror Asus Laptop to TV

Screen mirroring allows users to display their Asus laptop's screen on a larger display, such as a television. This can be useful for presentations, watching movies, playing games, or simply browsing the web on a bigger screen. Several methods facilitate this connection, utilizing both wired and wireless technologies.

Using an HDMI Cable

Using an HDMI cable is the most common and arguably simplest method for screen mirroring. It provides a stable, high-quality connection with minimal lag.

Locate the HDMI port on both the Asus laptop and the TV.
Connect the HDMI cable to both devices.
Turn on the TV and select the correct HDMI input source using the remote control.
On the Asus laptop, press the Windows key + P to open the projection settings.
Select the desired mirroring option: Duplicate, Extend, Second screen only, or PC screen only.

Using Miracast

Miracast is a wireless technology that allows screen mirroring between compatible devices. Many modern TVs and Asus laptops support Miracast, offering a cable-free solution.

Ensure both the TV and laptop have Miracast enabled. Refer to the respective device manuals for instructions if needed.
On the Asus laptop, open the Action Center by pressing Windows key + A.
Click the "Connect" tile.
Select the TV from the list of available devices.
Follow any on-screen prompts to complete the connection.

Troubleshooting Miracast Connections

Occasionally, issues can arise when using Miracast. Here are some troubleshooting steps:

Ensure both devices are within range and have a clear line of sight.
Restart both the laptop and the TV.
Update the wireless drivers on the Asus laptop.
Verify that the TV's firmware is up-to-date.
Check for any third-party firewall or antivirus software that may be blocking the connection.

Using a Wireless Display Adapter

For TVs that don't have built-in Miracast support, a wireless display adapter can be used to enable screen mirroring. These adapters typically plug into the TV's HDMI port and create a wireless network for the laptop to connect to.

Connect the wireless display adapter to the TV's HDMI port and power source.
Switch the TV input to the corresponding HDMI port.
Follow the adapter's instructions to set up the wireless connection.
On the Asus laptop, follow the same steps as for Miracast to connect to the adapter.

Adjusting Display Settings

After establishing the connection, users may need to adjust the display settings on their Asus laptop to optimize the viewing experience.

Right-click on the desktop and select "Display settings."
Under the "Multiple displays" section, select the desired display mode (Duplicate, Extend, etc.).
Adjust the resolution and scaling for each display to match the native resolution of the TV.
Adjust the orientation if necessary.

Using Third-Party Software

Several third-party applications offer additional features for screen mirroring and streaming. Some popular options include AirServer, Reflector, and ApowerMirror. These may offer more advanced features like streaming specific windows or applications, improved performance, or compatibility with different operating systems.

Research and choose a suitable third-party application.
Download and install the application on both the Asus laptop and a compatible device connected to the TV (e.g., smartphone, streaming device).
Follow the application's instructions to initiate the mirroring process.

Considerations for Optimal Performance

Several factors can influence the performance of screen mirroring. Addressing these can improve the overall experience.

Network congestion: A congested Wi-Fi network can lead to lag and buffering. Ensure a strong and stable network connection for optimal wireless mirroring.
Hardware limitations: Older laptops or TVs may not have the processing power to handle high-resolution mirroring smoothly. Reducing the resolution or using a wired connection can help.
Software updates: Keep both the laptop's operating system and graphics drivers updated to ensure compatibility and optimal performance.
