App to to mirror iPad/iPhone to Samsung TV

[pozmans]

Hi guys,

So I purchased a Samsung 2014 4k tv and wanted to know if its possible to mirror my device screen to my tv? I know there a few apps but they don't mirror my exact screen, only access my videos/pictures. The reason why I'm asking is because I'd like to stream series/movies online from safari directly to my tv.

Short of Apple TV, is there any app or jailbreak tweak to allow this?

Why not just use the browser on the TV?

I did try that but I'm looking for a simpler way. Browsing/typing using a remote on the tv is quite painful. Also for some strange reason, the streaming was quite slow on the tv.

I have a 10mb line and with my laptop/devices it streams really well but on the tv it keeps on buffering.

There is an app for remote control from the ipad. It allows you to type using the iPad keyboard.

The slow browsing/buffering is due to the capabilities of the TV, it has troubles playing flash content.

You could also buy an Apple TV as well, it will allow you to mirror.

EDIT: Sorry, hit the quote instead of the EDIT button.

Eh? I stream constantly from a tablet to an even older Samsung TV.

What model is the TV?
