Select your TV: From the list of available devices, select your TV to establish the connection. Your phone will search for nearby compatible devices.
Confirm the connection: Some TVs may prompt you to confirm the connection. Accept the request on your TV to start mirroring your phone’s screen.

For the best cable connection experience, consider purchasing a high-quality TV such as Samsung TV, known for its superior display and reliability.
