([lg.com](https://www.lg.com/us/support/help-library/lg-computer-how-do-i-download-and-install-lg-smart-share-on-windows--20150131526101LST?utm_source=openai))\n\n### Step-by-Step\n\n1. **Ensure both devices are on the same Wi-Fi network**  \n   Your PC and LG TV should be connected to the same wireless network. This improves stability and discoverability.

([lg.com](https://www.lg.com/us/support/help-library/lg-tv-connection-how-to-display-your-pc-screen-on-a-tv-screen-mirroring-CT10000018-20154634843473?utm_source=openai))  \n   - Or go to **Settings \u2192 System \u2192 Display \u2192 Multiple displays \u2192 Connect to a wireless display** \u2192 select the TV.

Confirm using your remote. ([lg.com](https://www.lg.com/us/support/help-library/lg-tv-connection-how-to-display-your-pc-screen-on-a-tv-screen-mirroring-CT10000018-20154634843473?utm_source=openai))\n\n5. **Choose your display mode**  \n   Windows will let you choose to duplicate (mirror), extend, or use the TV only. Use *Windows key + P* if needed. ([lg.com](https://www.lg.com/us/support/help-library/lg-tv-connection-how-to-display-your-pc-screen-on-a-tv-screen-mirroring-CT10000018-20154634843473?utm_source=openai))\n\n---\n\n## How to Cast Using a Cable (HDMI)\n\nIf you prefer wired or wireless isn\u2019t working well:\n\n1. Connect an **HDMI cable** from the PC\u2019s HDMI port to one of the HDMI inputs on your TV.  \n2. On the TV, switch to that HDMI input (usually via the *Input* or *Source* button on your remote).  \n3. Use *Windows + P* to select how the TV acts (duplicate, extend, only second screen). ([lg.com](https://www.lg.com/us/support/help-library/lg-tv-connection-how-to-display-your-pc-screen-on-a-tv-screen-mirroring-CT10000018-20154634843473?utm_source=openai))\n\n---\n\n## Casting Media Files (Casting Individual Files)\n\nIf you just want to stream a video or audio file stored on your PC:\n\n- In File Explorer, right-click the file \u2192 *Show more options* \u2192 *Cast to Device* \u2192 select your LG TV. ([support.moonpoint.com](https://support.moonpoint.com/video/lgtv/wincast/?utm_source=openai))  \n- The first time, your TV may ask you to confirm allowing the connection. ([support.moonpoint.com](https://support.moonpoint.com/video/lgtv/wincast/?utm_source=openai))\n\n---\n\n## Confirming Miracast Support\n\nSometimes your PC or TV might not fully support Miracast or wireless display:\n\n- Run **dxdiag**:  \n  - Press **Windows + R**, type `dxdiag`, press **Enter**.  \n  - Click **Save All Information** \u2192 open the saved file \u2192 search for \u201cMiracast\u201d. If it says \u201cAvailable\u201d, you\u2019re good. ([geekzwire.com](https://www.geekzwire.com/enable-miracast-windows-11/?utm_source=openai))\n\n- In **Settings \u2192 System \u2192 Display**, look for **Connect to a wireless display**. If it\u2019s missing, your PC might lack the necessary drivers or hardware support. ([microsoft.com](https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/learning-center/how-to-set-up-a-wireless-display?utm_source=openai))\n\n---\n\n## Common Issues & Fixes\n\n| Problem | What to Check or Try |\n|---|---|\n| TV doesn\u2019t appear on PC as wireless display | Ensure **Network Discovery** is enabled in Windows. Also, PC Wi-Fi adapter and driver must support Miracast. ([geekzwire.com](https://www.geekzwire.com/enable-miracast-windows-11/?utm_source=openai)) |\n| PC connects but TV only shows black screen or drops connection | Distance too far, Wi-Fi interference, or using different networks (Wi-Fi vs Ethernet). Sometimes using Wi-Fi for both devices helps more than Ethernet. ([reddit.com](https://www.reddit.com/r/webos/comments/16mtq8s/cannot_cast_to_lg_tv_from_my_windows_pc/?utm_source=openai)) |\n| TV asks for PIN code | On PC when attempting to connect, there may be a PIN entry prompt (this ensures security). Enter the code shown on the TV. Sometimes happens with stricter models. ([reddit.com](https://www.reddit.com/r/LGOLED/comments/15pirxo/when_i_try_to_use_screenshare_on_my_windows/?utm_source=openai)) |\n| Feature not available or poor performance | Check for firmware updates for both PC (graphics / Wi-Fi driver) and TV (webOS). VPNs or firewalls may block discovery. ([microsoft.com](https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/learning-center/how-to-set-up-a-wireless-display?utm_source=openai)) |\n\n---\n\nIf you tell me your **TV model (or webOS version)** I can walk you through the exact steps for that specific device\u2014making the setup even easier."
