How to Mirror Your Macbook to Your Sony TV?

Share This:

Sony TVs are renowned for their ability to offer stunning visuals, and one of their most impressive features is the ability to mirror your MacBook’s display on a Sony TV. Screen mirroring is a great way to share content from your Macbook with a large group of people, or simply enjoy watching something on your TV that you’ve been working on from your laptop. Here’s how you can easily set up screen mirroring from your Macbook to your Sony TV and start enjoying the best of both worlds.

Firstly, make sure that both devices are connected to the same network. You’ll also need to ensure that your TV has screen mirroring enabled – this can usually be found in the settings menu. If you’re using an iOS device such as an iPhone or iPad, you’ll need to open the Control Centre and tap ‘Screen Mirroring’ on your device. For Mac users, simply click ‘AirPlay Video’ in the menu bar, then select the Sony TV as the output device.

Once you’ve established a connection between the two devices, there are a few more steps required before you can start enjoying mirrored content from your Macbook on your Sony TV. For those using an iPhone or iPad, it may be necessary to register your device with the Sony TV – this can usually be done by tapping Settings > Device Connection or Xperia Connectivity > Screen Mirroring > Start > OK > and then selecting the name of your TV.

From there all that needs to be done is press the Input button on your remote control and select ‘Screen Mirroring’, then press Enter. You should now see whatever is being displayed on your Macbook reflected onto your Sony TV display! Finally, remember that if you wish to disconnect screen mirroring at any time it can be done either through AirPlay (Mac) or by going back into Settings (iOS).

With screen mirroring enabled between a Macbook and Sony TV, users have access to an endless array of entertainment possibilities – from streaming movies and shows from services like Netflix or AppleTV+, all the way through to sharing presentations for work purposes. Whatever type of content you wish to share with others – whether it’s for business use or for entertainment purposes – make sure you take advantage of this great feature by connecting up these two powerful pieces of technology!
