How to AirPlay to a Samsung TV

AirPlay gives customers of Apple products the ability to mirror the display of their Apple product onto another device that supports AirPlay. It does not matter whether you are mirroring music, videos, or images; on the secondary device, you should see an exact reproduction of what is displayed on the primary device. It’s a very cool trick to show off at parties, especially when the secondary gadget is a smart TV from a well-known brand (or in this case, any of the best Samsung TVs).
