Stream content wirelessly from an Android device

Today's households have a range of small-screen devices - and it’s natural for people to want to share content from their smartphones and tablets with friends and family by streaming videos and photos to a larger screen in the home. With support for the Miracast standard, the 23" Philips Miracast display can mirror content from other Miracast-certified Android smartphones and tablets, enabling people to share a real-time high-definition multimedia experience.

Miracast is activated on the display simply by clicking a button on the keypad in the base. Essentially, it is like HDMI without the cabling: there is no need for cables and connectors, and no need to clutter the clean lines of the living space with a tangle of wiring. Once Miracast is enabled on the display, and a known device is identified, everything - from the general interface to apps and videos - is duplicated in dazzling HD quality on the larger screen. The Philips display also supports MHL, enabling people to hook up their mobile devices via an optional MHL cable, and watch HD videos come to life with full digital sound. Additionally, the connected smartphones and tablets are charged whilst they are connected.

The Philips Miracast display has a slim silhouette and offers a viewing experience that is well worth sharing. Due to the IPS LED technology it delivers excellent image and colour accuracy with an extra wide viewing angle, making it easy for friends and family to gather round and watch together. Whatever the scenario, the Miracast display is packed with smart features to deliver optimum display performance. SmartImage, for example, analyses the content displayed on the screen and adjusts the contrast and colour accordingly. SmartKolor enhances the visual colour range on the display, and SmartContrast delivers rich detail for an immersive viewing experience.

The Philips 239C4QHWAB Miracast display is available now at a recommended retail price of £249 (incl. VAT).
