Mirror for LG Smart TV is a user-friendly application designed for iPhone and iPad users who want to wirelessly share their device screen with an LG Smart TV from 2012 or later. This app allows users to mirror any app on their iOS devices, making it ideal for watching movies, viewing photos, and delivering presentations. The setup process is straightforward, requiring both the iPhone/iPad and the LG TV to be connected to the same local network. Once launched, the app detects the TV and allows for a seamless mirroring experience with just a few taps. While the app delivers solid performance for most media viewing, it is important to note that there is a slight latency of 1 to 3 seconds, which makes it unsuitable for gaming. Additionally, some applications, such as Netflix and Disney+, block screen mirroring due to DRM restrictions. The Pro version of the app enhances the experience by enabling audio during mirroring and offering higher screen resolutions. Overall, Mirror for LG Smart TV is a practical solution for anyone looking to share their iPhone or iPad display on a larger screen.

Developer’s Description

Application to mirror the screen of your iPhone or iPad to any LG Smart TV.

Application to mirror the screen of your iPhone or iPad to any LG Smart TV. No wires and no additional hardware needed! You can mirror any app on your iPhone or iPad to your LG TV.

This works on any LG Smart TV from the 2012 models onward, including the latest models based on WebOS.

In using the app, there will be a couple of seconds of latency (usually between 1 and 3). So this mirroring is not suitable for gaming.

However, it is very suitable for watching movies, giving presentations, watching photos, and much more!

How the app works:

1. Make sure that your iPhone or iPad is connected to the same local network as your LG TV. Don't use multiple VLANs or subnets.

2. Setup Control Centre on your iPhone or iPad to include the "Screen Recording" option. This is how that works:

a. Go to Settings on your iPhone or iPad, then select Control Centre

b. iPhone only: Switch on: Access Within Apps

c. iPhone and iPad: click on Customise Controls

d. "Screen Recording" should be in the list of "Include" options. If it is not, scroll down and find "Screen Recording". Click on the green + sign on the left of Screen Recording, to include it into your Control Centre

3. Launch the Mirror for LG TV app. It will start looking for your LG TV(s) on your local network. When a TV is found, please select it.

4. We will start with showing you an instruction video on how to setup Control Centre. If you have done that already, click on Next Step

5. Turn on notifications for this app. We will not spam you, but we will use this to let you know if your TV is working correctly or not. So please, please allow it, otherwise when things don't work as they should, you are left in the dark.

6. Now we will open YouTube on your iPhone or iPad to show you how to use Control Centre to start screen mirroring to your LG TV. Press "Open in YouTube" to start.

7. After watching the video, try it yourself! Go to the app on your iPhone or iPad that you want to mirror and slide up Control Centre. LONG Press "Screen Recording" (NOT: Screen Mirroring!). Select Mirror LG TV to start mirroring.

Limitations and known issues:

1. Audio

- When screen mirroring from Safari, there is no audio.

- When you switch to another app, the audio stops on TV. So, you need to start mirroring after you launched the app that you want mirror on TV.

2. DRM

Some apps don't allow screen mirroring. For instance Netflix: when you start screen mirroring when running the Netflix app on your iPhone or iPad, the TV screen will turn black. This is a choice that Netflix made, there is nothing that we can do about that.
