Bought this TV today, fantastic picture!! Would have no hesitation in recommending it if anyone is in the market for such a tv.

I only have one question. One of the reasons I bought it was that I wanted to be able to mirror the screen from my PC or mobile phone or tablet, onto the tv. Despite this being a function it seems to offer, I just can't figure out how to activate it.

If anyone had any tips or pointers, that would be fantastic.

Screen mirroring is subtly different to using the TV as a secondary monitor on a laptop

http://pdf.crse.com/manuals/13LW6001...ntegrated.html

It requires a device with Miracast in order to work.

There is a link to a list of certified devices at the bottom of that page.

Correct chrisjr, screen mirroring is completely different to using the TV as a monitor - the instructions for the Sony TV are on the screen, presumably it tells you how to do it? - although I also presume you need to know how to set your phone/tablet etc.

I can't say I've ever had occasion to do it.
