Update: we now have a more detailed guide on how to use screen mirroring in Galaxy S4.

Use Screen Mirroring in Galaxy S4  to connect your device to a large screen with an AllShare Cast dongle or HomeSync and then share your contents. You can also use this feature with other devices that support the Wi-Fi Miracast feature.

  • This feature may not be available depending on the region or service provider.
  • Miracast-enabled devices that do not support High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection (HDCP) may not be compatible with this feature.
  • Some files may be buffered during playback, depending on the network connection.
  • To save energy, deactivate this feature when not in use.
  • If you specify a Wi-Fi frequency, AllShare Cast dongles or HomeSync may not be discovered or connected.
  • If you play videos or games on a TV, select an appropriate TV mode to get the best experience.

On the Applications screen, tap Settings → Connections → Screen Mirroring, and then drag the Screen Mirroring switch to the right. Select a device, open or play a file, and then control the display with the keys on your device. To connect to a device using a PIN, tap and hold the device name to enter the PIN.

If your TV does not support Miracast, you may get the following gadgets to make screen mirroring work for your TV.
