    Too many tech options to just get TV set up for viewing it no longer has simple straight forward drop down menus to navigate options. Very difficult to change inputs. No user manuals that help with set up or use of product included online manuals are insufficient and hard to locate. On line support has not been helpful. This replaced same sony model that lost picture after only 3 years and very few hours use. This may be my last sony product.

      Hi Nivek710,

      Thank you for choosing and purchasing our Sony X950H Ultra HD Smart TV.

      We’re sorry to hear if the TV failed to meet your expectations. We’d love to help you troubleshoot your problem. The TV previously had a function called “Miracast” but now has changed.

Just one tap of the Cast button on your Android or iOS screen is all you need to supersize the things you love. Cast your content then continue browsing on your phone or tablet. Simply connect your mobile device and TV to the same WiFi and the option to chromecast should appear on your device display settings.

      In addition, the X950H also supports Airplay2 compatibility if you have extra apple devices that you want to cast to the TV as well.

      May we contact you to help and get more information? If so, please email the below information to Sony E-support that you can find on Sony’s official website.
