Transferring your phone screen to Xiaomi TV offers a lot of possibilities, from presentations to streaming content in high definition. But how do you do it quickly and without delay?

In this article, we will analyze all the current ways of screen duplication: from wireless technologies (Miracast, Google Cast) to wired solutions (HDMI, USB-C). Particular attention will be paid to the nuances for different Xiaomi models - from budget Redmi Smart TV to flagship Mi TV Q2. You will learn what method gives minimal latency for games, how to bypass connection problems and what settings optimize the quality of the picture.

Important: If your TV is released before 2019, some features (such as Wi-Fi 6 or Google Cast) may not be available.

1. Wireless transmission via Miracast (without router)

Miracast is a wireless screen standard built into most modern Xiaomi smartphones and TVs, with the main advantage of not having to connect to a single Wi-Fi network – the connection is established directly between devices.

To activate Miracast on your Xiaomi TV, follow the following steps:

• 🔄 Select the Receiving Device Mode (on some models – Screen Mirroring).
• 📱 On your smartphone, open Settings → Connections → Screen transmission (on MIUI The path may be different: Settings → Screen. → TV broadcast).
• 🔍 In the list of available devices, select the name of your Xiaomi TV (e.g. Mi). TV P1 55").

Synchronization takes 5-10 seconds. Once connected, the screen of the smartphone is completely duplicated on the TV, and the delay with this method is ~30-50 ms - this is enough for watching videos, but can be noticeable in dynamic games.

Both devices support Miracast (check in specs)

Television and phone charged at least 30%

Power saving mode is turned off on the TV (can interrupt the connection)

Distance between devices not more than 5 meters (for stable signal)-->

⚠️ Note: On Xiaomi TVs with firmware below MIUI TV 3.0 (released before 2020) Miracast may not work smoothly. Update through Settings → On TV. → Updating the system.

2. Screen transfer via Google Cast (Chromecast)

Instructions for broadcasting:

• 🌐 Make sure your phone and TV are connected to the same Wi-Fi network.
• 📱 Open the app (like YouTube) and click the Broadcast icon (usually in the upper right corner).
• 🖥️ In the list of devices, select your Xiaomi TV (the name will contain the model, for example, the model, MiTV-Q1E-1234).
• 🎬 Video will start playing on the TV, and the phone will remain a control panel.

Unlike Miracast, Google Cast only broadcasts content from apps, not the entire screen, but the picture quality is higher (up to 4K HDR), and the latency is minimal (~10-20 ms).

💡

If the TV doesn’t appear in the list of devices for Google Cast, restart the router and check if the TV is enabled Google Play Services in your account settings.

3. Wired connection via HDMI or USB-C

For minimal latency (important for gaming or professional tasks), it is better to use a wired connection. Modern Xiaomi smartphones (for example, Redmi Note 12 Pro+ or Xiaomi 13 Ultra) support the output of images via a USB-C port using an adapter.

You'll need:

• 🔌 adapter USB-C → HDMI (Phones with DisplayPort Alt Mode support).
• 📺 HDMI-cable (usually complete with a TV).
• ⚡ Power supply for the phone (with long broadcasting).

Step-by-step:

1. Connect the adapter to the USB-C port of the smartphone.
2. Connect the adapter to the TV through HDMI-cable (use the port) HDMI 2.1 for 4K@60Hz).
3. On the TV, select the signal source: press Input on the remote and select the appropriate one. HDMI-port.
4. A request for permission to transfer the screen may appear on the phone - confirm it.

Advantages of the method: latency less than 10 ms (ideal for gaming), stable connection without interference, support for high resolutions (4K@60Hz on flagship models).

⚠️ Note: Not all Xiaomi smartphones support DisplayPort Alt Mode. Check compatibility on the manufacturer's website or in the specifications of the model. X3 Pro does not support output through USB-C, Xiaomi 12T Pro - supports.

4.Use of streaming applications (ApowerMirror, TeamViewer)

If the built-in methods don't work (for example, on older TV models), you can use third-party applications.

• 🖥️ ApowerMirror – supports screen transfer over Wi-Fi with minimal latency, there is a function to control the phone from the TV.
• 🌍 TeamViewer QuickSupport is a universal solution, but requires a stable Internet connection.
• 🎮 Steam Link – optimized for streaming games from phone to TV.

Example of ApowerMirror configuration:

2. Connect both devices to the same Wi-Fi network.
3. Start ApowerMirror on your phone, select Mirror to TV and scan QR-TV-screen.
4. Confirm the connection - the broadcast will begin automatically.

Third-party applications are convenient because they often support additional features such as screen recording, live annotations or audio transmission separately from video. However, the quality depends on the speed of the Internet - Full HD requires at least 15 Mbps.

5. Features for Xiaomi TVs on Android TV

Xiaomi Android TVs (such as the Mi TV A series or Redmi Smart TV X) have advanced screen transfer capabilities.

• 🎯 Google Cast (as described above).
• 🖥️ Miracast with improved stability.

If the problems persist, try:

• 🔄 Restart the phone and TV.
• 📱 Update the firmware on both devices.
• 🛠️ Reset the network settings on the TV (Settings) → Network → Resetting settings).

7. Comparison of methods: which one to choose?

The choice of screen transfer method depends on your tasks:

• 🎮 For games: wired connection (HDMI) Miracast with Low Delay Mode enabled.
• 🎬 For movies: Google Cast (best quality) or Miracast (if no router).
