TVs are a staple in many homes and are often used for watching movies, sports, TV shows, and playing video games. While it is convenient to have a TV in multiple rooms of the house, it can be a hassle to switch between them when you want to watch something on a different TV. One solution to this problem is to mirror the two TVs, allowing you to watch the same content on both TVs simultaneously. Here are the steps for how to do this:
Determine if your TVs and devices are compatible
Before you start mirroring your TVs, you need to ensure that your TVs and devices are compatible. Both TVs should have an HDMI port, as this is the most common way to connect devices to TVs. Your device (such as a computer, streaming device, or gaming console) should also have a HDMI port.
Get the necessary cables and adapters
If your TVs and devices are compatible, the next step is to get the necessary cables and adapters. You will need two HDMI cables, one to connect each TV to the device. If your device does not have an HDMI port, you may need an adapter to connect it to the HDMI cable.
Connect the device to the first TV
Once you have the necessary cables and adapters, the next step is to connect the device to the first TV. Simply connect one end of the HDMI cable to the device’s HDMI port and the other to the TV’s HDMI port.
Connect the second TV to the device
You will need to use the second HDMI cable to connect the second TV. Connect one end of the cable to the device’s HDMI port and the other to the HDMI port on the second TV.
Turn on the TVs and select the input source
With both TVs connected to the device, turn on both TVs and select the input source for the device on both TVs. It will allow you to watch the same content on both TVs.
