How To Turn On Screen Mirroring On Galaxy A7

Most of us watch TV shows and movies on our phones, but even with the great screen experience you get from a Galaxy A7, watching shows on a big screen is just more fun. Luckily it’s possible to mirror your Galaxy A7 screen to a TV set so that the shows playing on your A7 screen also play on the TV. There are two basic approaches to doing this: a hard-wired connection or a wireless connection. In this article I’ll explain how to do both.

Connect Galaxy A7 to TV via a hard-wired connection

Using the hard-wired connection method, you can just plug your phone into the TV via an adapter, and whatever is shown on the Galaxy A7 screen will also display on the TV.

• Purchase an MHL adapter that is compatible with the Samsung Galaxy A7.
• Connect the Galaxy A7 to the adapter.
• Plug the adapter into a power source.
• Use a standard HDMI cable to connect the adapter to the HDMI port on your television.
• Set the TV to display video from the HDMI port you are using.

NOTE: If you have an older analogue TV, the addition of a HDMI to composite adapter would allow you to mirror the Galaxy A7 to your TV.

Connect Galaxy A7 to TV via a wireless connection

• Purchase a Samsung Allshare Hub.
• Connect the Allshare Hub to your TV via a standard HDMI cable.
• Connect the Galaxy A7 and the AllShare Hub or TV to the same wireless network.
• Access Settings > Screen Mirroring.

NOTE: If you use a Samsung SmartTV, you do not need to purchase the Allshare Hub and can just directly mirror the phone to the TV since they already know how to work together.
