Miracast is a wireless display standard found in most Android devices, capable of streaming content to the TV in up to 1080p video quality and with up to 5.1-channel audio, almost like wireless HDMI.
Note: The mobile device must support screen sharing. Some devices may not be compatible.
You can do this using the launcher as shown below.
On LG devices this can be found in Settings > Share & Connect
Note: If you have more than one Blu-ray Player, the name will be based on the model number.
Note: Once you initiate the connection via your mobile device, this screen will automatically move on to the next step.
Note: For non-LG devices, you may need to initiate the connection from the Blu-ray Player first, then accept the connection on the mobile device.
Once completed, your mobile device's screen will be displayed on your TV!
