Today we have many devices from which we can use the Internet, from the popular Smartphones to lots of devices that we use at home. One of the most prominent are charging smart TVs or Smart TV..
These televisions have the ability to connect with our mobile phones or tablets in order to share files such as images or videos. The best known technologies to do it are Miracast and DLNA
What is Miracast?
This technology works very similar to the well-known HDMI cable but wirelessly between Smartphone and Smart TV. It works in such a way that when the screen is turned off on our mobile we will also stop watching the content on the TV. To use this technology two requirements must be met:
- That our mobile is compatible: This is verifiable if the option “Share screen†or “Duplicate screen†appears in the phone screen settings
- That our TV is compatible
In case one of these two conditions is not met, the use of adapters designed for this purpose will be necessary.
What is DLNA?
The DLNA stands for Digital Living Network Alliance. It differs from Miracast in that this technology does not allow us to reproduce the screen of our mobile on the television but it does not allow us to reproduce photos or videos on it. In this case it is also necessary to establish a connection between Smartphone and Smart TV.
Other data to consider
- If you need to play the smartphone screen on your DLNA TV it is not suitable for you
- Chromecast will help you watch Intenert content on your TV while using your smartphone. It can also be used to use the Internet on your TV that is not Smart TV.
- For specific uses, try an HDMI connector
- If it is not a punctual use and it is important that smartphone and Smart TV connect we recommend checking the technology that both devices support before buying them.
