What Is Hisense TV Screen Mirroring? Understanding the Basics

Hisense TV screen mirroring lets you wirelessly display exactly what's on your smartphone, tablet, or computer screen onto your TV in real-time. Every tap, every swipe, every video - it all appears on the big screen simultaneously.

This technology has become standard on Hisense smart TVs since 2014, though the specific implementation varies by model. Depending on your TV, you might use Anyview Cast, AirPlay 2, Miracast, or Chromecast built-in to accomplish the same goal.

Screen mirroring differs from casting in an important way. When you mirror, your TV shows everything on your device screen - notifications, messages, whatever you're doing. When you cast, you send specific content (like a YouTube video) to the TV while your phone remains free for other tasks. Both have their uses.

Common uses for Hisense TV screen mirroring include:

• Watching photos and videos with family on a larger display

• Delivering presentations during meetings without complicated cable setups

• Playing mobile games on a 65-inch screen instead of a 6-inch one

• Video calling with the whole room visible

• Following workout apps during exercise sessions

• Streaming content from apps not available on your TV

If you're setting up your Hisense for the first time, enabling screen mirroring should be one of your first configuration steps. For users who prefer a wired connection for maximum stability, a Hisense ethernet connection can also improve mirroring performance.

Hisense Screen Mirroring Technologies: Anyview Cast vs AirPlay vs Miracast vs Chromecast

Understanding which technology your TV uses helps you troubleshoot faster and choose the right connection method. Here's what's actually happening behind the scenes.

Anyview Cast

Anyview Cast is Hisense's proprietary screen mirroring system built on the Miracast protocol. It's been included on VIDAA OS Hisense TVs since 2014. When you select Anyview Cast from your TV's input menu, your TV creates a direct wireless connection with compatible devices.

Anyview Cast works with Android phones (version 4.2+) and Windows PCs (version 8.1+). It does not natively support iPhones - Apple devices need AirPlay or a third-party app instead.

AirPlay 2

Apple's AirPlay 2 protocol launched on Hisense TVs starting in 2019. It enables iPhone, iPad, and Mac users to mirror their screens wirelessly with minimal latency. AirPlay also supports audio-only streaming if you just want music playing through your TV speakers.

Hisense TVs running Roku OS, Google TV, and Fire TV typically include AirPlay support. VIDAA TVs manufactured after 2022 also support it natively.

Miracast

Miracast is an industry-standard wireless display protocol created by the Wi-Fi Alliance. It establishes peer-to-peer connections between devices without requiring an existing WiFi network - though in practice, having both devices on the same network improves reliability.

Most Android phones and Windows computers support Miracast. Samsung calls it "Smart View," while other manufacturers use names like "Cast" or "Wireless Display."

Chromecast Built-In

Hisense Google TV models include Chromecast functionality without requiring any external dongle. This lets you cast content from thousands of compatible apps or mirror your entire Android screen.

Chrome browser on any computer can also cast to these TVs, making it the most versatile option for mixed-device households.

Technology Comparison Table:

If you experience audio delay while mirroring, you can adjust audio sync settings to compensate. Gaming requires the lowest possible latency - enabling game mode reduces input lag significantly.

How to Check If Your Hisense TV Supports Screen Mirroring (Complete Model List)

Not every Hisense TV supports every mirroring method. Before attempting to connect, verify what your specific model can do.

Finding Your Model Number

Your model number tells you exactly which features your TV includes. To find it:

1. Press the Menu button on your remote

2. Navigate to Settings → Support (or System Info)

3. Select "About" to view your model number

Alternatively, check the sticker on the back of your TV near the input ports.

Identifying Your Operating System

Hisense produces TVs running several different operating systems:

• VIDAA OS: Hisense's proprietary system, common on budget and mid-range models

• Roku TV: Uses Roku's interface and app store

• Google TV: Full Android TV experience with Google Assistant

• Fire TV: Amazon's Fire TV interface built-in

• Android TV: Older Google-based system

Your operating system determines which mirroring features you have access to.

AirPlay-Compatible Hisense Models

If you use Apple devices, you need an AirPlay-compatible TV. According to official sources and my testing, these series support AirPlay 2:

2022 Models: A63H, A65H, A6H, A6HAU, A7H, A85H, A9H, E7H Series

2023 Models: A63H, A6K, A7K, A85K, A9H, E7K Series

2024-2025 Models: U6, U7, U8, A6, A7, E7 Series

2026 Models: U7Q, U8Q, A6Q, A7Q Series (ending in 'Q' indicates 2025/2026 production)

Hisense Roku TVs: R6, R7, and R8 Series support AirPlay through Roku OS 9.4 or higher

If your TV doesn't appear on this list, check Settings → Network → Apple AirPlay. If the option exists, your TV supports it.

What If Your TV Doesn't Support AirPlay?

Several alternatives exist for older TVs:

• Use a third-party app like AirBeamTV or MirrorMeister

• Connect via HDMI using Apple's Lightning Digital AV Adapter ($49)

• Add a streaming device like Apple TV or Roku Stick

Regardless of your TV's age, keeping firmware current unlocks features and fixes bugs. Make sure to update your Hisense firmware before troubleshooting mirroring problems.

How to Use Anyview Cast on Hisense VIDAA TV

Anyview Cast provides screen mirroring for Android and Windows users on Hisense VIDAA TVs. Setup takes about 2-4 minutes for first-time users.

• Use Password: Sets a permanent password you choose

For home use, "First Time Only" balances security and convenience.

Important DRM Limitation

You cannot mirror Netflix, Disney+, Amazon Prime Video, or other streaming services via AirPlay due to DRM protection. The screen will go black while the app is open. Use the TV's native app instead - if Netflix isn't working on your Hisense TV, that's a separate issue with its own solutions.

For audio quality adjustments during AirPlay streaming, access your Hisense sound settings to optimize the output.

How to Screen Mirror on Hisense Roku TV

Hisense Roku TVs include built-in screen mirroring that works with Android, Windows, and Apple devices. The Roku interface makes setup straightforward.

Why Hisense TV Screen Mirroring Not Working: Complete Troubleshooting Guide

When mirroring fails, the cause usually falls into a few common categories. Work through these solutions systematically.

Problem 1: TV Not Appearing in Device List

This is the most common issue. Your phone or computer can't find your TV.

Check your WiFi network:

• Confirm both devices connect to the same network name (SSID)

• If your router broadcasts 2.4GHz and 5GHz separately, ensure both devices use the same band

• Temporarily disable any VPN on your phone or computer

Verify mirroring is enabled on your TV:

• VIDAA: Input button → Anyview Cast

• Roku: Settings → System → Screen Mirroring → Enable

• Google TV: Usually always on; check Settings → System → Cast

• Fire TV: Settings → Display & Sounds → Enable Display Mirroring

Restart everything:

1. Turn off your TV completely (not just standby)

2. Restart your router

3. Restart your phone or computer

4. Wait 30 seconds between each step

5. Try connecting again

Problem 2: Connection Established But Black Screen

You connected successfully, but the TV shows nothing or a black screen.

DRM content blocking: Netflix, Disney+, Hulu, Amazon Prime Video, and most streaming services block screen mirroring due to content protection (HDCP). This is intentional and cannot be bypassed.

Solution: Use the TV's native app for these services instead of mirroring.

HDCP handshake failure: Sometimes the copy protection negotiation fails even with non-DRM content.

Solution: Disconnect, restart both devices, and reconnect.

Problem 3: Lag and Audio Sync Issues

The video delays behind audio, or everything responds slowly.

Network congestion:

• Move closer to your WiFi router

• Disconnect other devices using heavy bandwidth

• Switch to 5GHz WiFi if available (faster but shorter range)

Reduce quality temporarily: Some mirroring apps let you lower resolution. Try 720p instead of 1080p.

Enable Game Mode: Your TV's Game Mode reduces processing latency. Access it through Settings → Picture → Picture Mode → Game.

Problem 4: Frequent Disconnections

The connection drops repeatedly during use.

Check signal strength:

• Move your router closer to the TV

• Remove obstacles between router, TV, and phone

• Check for interference from microwaves, cordless phones, or baby monitors

Update firmware: Outdated software causes compatibility issues. Update your Hisense TV firmware to the latest version.

Update your device: Also update iOS, Android, Windows, or macOS on your mirroring device.

Problem 5: AirPlay Specifically Not Working

AirPlay has unique troubleshooting steps.

Verify model compatibility: Your TV must support AirPlay (see Section 3 for compatible models).

Reset paired devices: Go to Settings → AirPlay and HomeKit → Reset Paired Devices on your TV.

Reset network settings on iPhone: Settings → General → Transfer or Reset iPhone → Reset → Reset Network Settings

Try DNS change: On your iPhone, go to Settings → WiFi → tap the (i) next to your network → Configure DNS → Manual → Add Server → type 8.8.8.8 → Save

If your apps aren't working on your Hisense TV in general, the screen mirroring function may also be affected. Address those issues first.

When to Contact Support

If you've tried everything above:

• Contact Hisense support for TV-related issues

• Contact Apple support for AirPlay problems on Apple devices

• Check if your TV is still under warranty

How to Optimize Screen Mirroring Quality on Hisense TV

Once mirroring works, these tweaks improve the experience noticeably.

Network Optimization

Your WiFi network makes the biggest difference in mirroring quality.

Use 5GHz WiFi: 5GHz offers faster speeds and less interference than 2.4GHz. The tradeoff is shorter range - stay within 30 feet of your router.

Reduce network congestion: During mirroring, pause downloads, streaming on other devices, and cloud backups.

Position your router strategically: Place it centrally between your TV and where you typically use your phone. Avoid putting it behind furniture or inside cabinets.

Consider QoS settings: Many routers let you prioritize devices. Give your TV high priority in Quality of Service settings.

Device-Side Optimization

Close background apps: Apps running in the background compete for resources. Close them before mirroring.

Disable notifications: Nothing ruins a presentation like a text message appearing on the big screen. Enable Do Not Disturb on your phone.

Lower brightness (for battery): If mirroring from a phone, keep it plugged in or lower brightness to preserve battery during long sessions.

TV-Side Settings

Enable Game Mode for low latency: If you're gaming or need instant response, enable game mode in picture settings. This disables processing that adds delay.

Adjust picture settings: For mirrored content, try optimizing your Hisense TV picture settings. Standard or Movie mode often looks best for most content.

Check audio output: If volume seems low while mirroring, adjust your TV's sound settings or try different audio modes.

4K Mirroring Considerations

Mirroring in 4K requires:

• A 4K-capable source device

• Strong WiFi (5GHz recommended)

• A 4K Hisense TV

• Sufficient bandwidth (25+ Mbps recommended)

If you experience stuttering, drop to 1080p. The quality difference on most content isn't worth the stability issues.

Frequently Asked Questions About Hisense Screen Mirroring

Can I mirror Netflix to my Hisense TV?

No. Netflix (and most streaming services) blocks screen mirroring due to DRM content protection. Your screen will go black when attempting to mirror these apps. Use the Netflix app installed on your Hisense TV instead - it provides better quality anyway since the TV handles playback directly.

Does screen mirroring use mobile data?

Screen mirroring uses your WiFi network, not cellular data. Your phone sends video to your TV over WiFi. The exception is if you're using a mobile hotspot as your WiFi source - then you're using data for everything.

Can multiple devices mirror simultaneously?

Generally no. Hisense TVs accept one screen mirroring connection at a time. If someone else tries to connect, it will either fail or disconnect the current session. This applies to AirPlay, Anyview Cast, and other mirroring methods.

What's the maximum resolution for screen mirroring?

Most Hisense TVs support mirroring up to 1080p. Some newer models with Chromecast built-in or AirPlay 2 support 4K mirroring, but this requires excellent WiFi and a capable source device. In practice, 1080p provides the most reliable experience.

Is there input lag when gaming via screen mirroring?

Yes. Expect 50-200ms of latency depending on your method and network conditions. Enable Game Mode on your TV to minimize delay. For competitive gaming, a wired HDMI connection is still superior. Casual games work fine with mirroring.

How do I stop screen mirroring?

iPhone: Open Control Center → tap Screen Mirroring → tap Stop Mirroring Android: Pull down notification shade → tap the Cast/Mirroring notification → Disconnect Windows: Press Windows + P → click Disconnect Or: Press the Input button on your TV remote and switch to another source

Can I mirror to Hisense TV from a Chromebook?

Yes. Chromebooks have built-in Cast functionality. Click the system tray (bottom right) → click Cast → select your Hisense TV. This works best with Hisense Google TV models that have Chromecast built-in.

Does screen mirroring work with VPN enabled?

Sometimes. VPNs can interfere with device discovery on your local network. If your TV isn't appearing, try disabling your VPN temporarily. Once connected, some VPNs work fine; others cause disconnection issues.

Why does my mirrored content look blurry?

Network congestion is the usual culprit. Try these fixes:

• Switch to 5GHz WiFi

• Move closer to your router

• Reduce other network traffic

• Lower mirroring quality in app settings (if available)

• Restart your router

Can I mirror and use my phone at the same time?

Yes, but everything you do on your phone appears on the TV. This includes notifications, switching apps, and typing messages. Enable Do Not Disturb if you want to avoid surprises during presentations or movie watching.

Conclusion: Choosing the Best Screen Mirroring Method for Your Setup

After testing across multiple Hisense platforms, here are my recommendations for each scenario:

iPhone/iPad users: AirPlay is your best option if your TV supports it. The connection is stable, latency is low, and setup takes seconds. For TVs without AirPlay, try AirBeamTV or use an HDMI adapter for reliability.

Android users: Anyview Cast (VIDAA TVs) or native screen mirroring (Roku/Google/Fire TV) works well. Samsung Smart View and Google Cast integrate seamlessly with their respective ecosystems.

Windows users: Miracast (Windows + P → Connect to wireless display) provides the most reliable connection. Chrome casting works great on Google TV models.

Mac users: AirPlay all the way. It's optimized for Mac and provides the best quality with minimal setup.
