I recently acquired an old LED TV from a friend who is moving away. The TV works fine with a set-top box connected to it, but I want to mirror my smartphone screen so I can enjoy movies on a bigger display. Is there a way to do this, possibly using a cable or other method?

If your phone supports it, you might want to try a USB-C to HDMI adapter. Just make sure you get one that allows for power delivery so you can charge your phone while you watch.
You could consider making your TV smarter by using devices like Chromecast or Amazon Fire TV Stick. Just plug one of these into your TV's HDMI port and you’ll be able to mirror your phone screen easily.
If you're looking to stream content from apps like YouTube or Netflix, you’ll want a device like a Chromecast or a Roku TV stick. Just be cautious of the cheaper no-name brands; they can have malware. The Roku Express is a budget-friendly option I’d recommend.
Getting a Chromecast is a solid choice. It's straightforward and makes mirroring your phone a breeze.
A simple option is using a USB-C to HDMI cable. It mirrors your phone's screen, but keep in mind you can't turn off your screen while casting, and you may not be able to charge it during use. But if you're often watching, a Chromecast is a more convenient solution.
