How to Screen Mirror a Macbook Pro to a Samsung TV

Screen mirroring, also known as screen casting, allows you to wirelessly display the screen of your Macbook Pro on a Samsung TV. This is a convenient way to share presentations, watch videos, or browse the web on a larger screen. This article will guide you through the process of screen mirroring from a Macbook Pro to a Samsung TV, outlining the two most common methods: using AirPlay 2 and using a third-party app.

Using AirPlay 2

AirPlay 2 is a built-in feature on Apple devices that allows seamless screen mirroring to compatible devices, including select Samsung TVs. This method is generally the simplest and most reliable option, as it requires no additional software or hardware. To use AirPlay 2 for screen mirroring, your Samsung TV must support it. Many newer Samsung TVs released after 2018 are compatible with AirPlay 2. To check if your Samsung TV supports AirPlay 2, refer to the TV's user manual or the Samsung website.

Once you have confirmed that your Samsung TV supports AirPlay 2, follow these steps to screen mirror your Macbook Pro:

Ensure that your Macbook Pro and Samsung TV are connected to the same Wi-Fi network.
On your Macbook Pro, open the Control Center by clicking on the battery icon in the top right corner of the screen.
Click on the "Screen Mirroring" button. A list of compatible devices will appear, including your Samsung TV. Select your Samsung TV from the list.
Your Macbook Pro's screen will now be mirrored onto your Samsung TV.

Once you have successfully established the connection, any content displayed on your Macbook Pro will now appear on your Samsung TV. To stop screen mirroring, simply click on the "Screen Mirroring" button again in the Control Center and select "Stop Mirroring."

Using a Third-Party App

If your Samsung TV does not support AirPlay 2, you can still screen mirror your Macbook Pro using a third-party application. Several apps are available on the Mac App Store, allowing you to mirror your Macbook Pro to compatible devices, including Samsung TVs.

One popular option is the LetsView app. LetsView allows you to wirelessly connect your Macbook Pro to your Samsung TV without requiring AirPlay 2 support. To use LetsView for screen mirroring, follow these steps:

Download and install the LetsView app on your Macbook Pro and Samsung TV.
Ensure that your Macbook Pro and Samsung TV are connected to the same Wi-Fi network.
Open the LetsView app on your Macbook Pro and select your Samsung TV from the list of available devices.
Enter the PIN displayed on your Samsung TV into the LetsView app on your Macbook Pro.
Your Macbook Pro screen will now be mirrored onto your Samsung TV.

LetsView offers various features, including screen mirroring, video streaming, and file sharing. To stop screen mirroring through LetsView, simply close the app on your Macbook Pro or select the "Disconnect" option.

Troubleshooting Screen Mirroring

While screen mirroring is generally straightforward, occasional issues may arise. Here are some common troubleshooting tips:

Ensure that both your Macbook Pro and Samsung TV are connected to the same Wi-Fi network. A weak Wi-Fi connection can lead to unstable mirroring.
Restart both your Macbook Pro and Samsung TV. Restarting devices can sometimes resolve connection issues.
Update your Samsung TV's firmware. Outdated firmware may lead to compatibility problems. Check the Samsung website for updates.
Disable any firewalls or antivirus software that may be blocking the connection.

If you continue experiencing issues, refer to the troubleshooting sections of the AirPlay 2 documentation, the LetsView app documentation, or contact Samsung support for assistance.
