How to mirror to a Philips TV

Three steps, and the first is the one that decides whether the other two matter.

Confirm the pair can work

Find your phone in the table above. If it says Not over Wi-Fi, stop here - no app or setting will change that, and the fix is an adapter or a Chromecast.

Open mirroring on the Philips

Android and Google TV sets: nothing to enable. Other models: Settings, then Screen mirroring or Wi-Fi Miracast.

Then start from the phone

Same Wi-Fi network and same band on both. Several brands only advertise themselves once mirroring is already open on the TV, which is why scanning first so often finds nothing.

What else to know about Philips TVs

  • Philips does not publish a consolidated list of which models run which system.
  • The quickest check is the settings menu: if it mentions Chromecast built-in, use casting; if it only offers Screen mirroring, you need a phone with a Miracast sender.

If your phone is not compatible

There is no software fix for a missing protocol. Both of these are more reliable than wireless mirroring anyway.

  • A USB-C to HDMI adapter. Works on any phone with DisplayPort Alt Mode, needs no network, and has effectively no lag.
  • A Chromecast or Google TV streamer plugged into the Philips, which gives it Google Cast support.
