NetMirror on LG TV (webOS) – Workarounds That Work

LG TVs run webOS, LG’s own operating system — not Android. NetMirror is an Android APK with no webOS version, so there is nothing to install directly on the TV. Any site offering a “NetMirror for LG TV download” is offering something that does not exist. What does work: an external streaming device, casting from your phone, or the TV’s built-in browser with limitations. This page covers each, tested.

NettMirror APK is an independent verification desk. We are not affiliated with the NetMirror developer.

Option 1: External Streaming Device (Best Experience)

The most reliable path is to bypass the TV’s software entirely: plug in a Fire TV Stick, Chromecast with Google TV, or Android TV box (Android TV 7.0 or newer), and use the LG TV purely as a display.

Setup steps

1. Plug the device into an HDMI port on your LG TV and power it on.
2. Switch the TV input to that HDMI port and finish the device’s setup (Wi-Fi, account sign-in).
3. Install NetMirror on the external device — our Fire TV Stick guide covers Amazon’s stick, and our Android TV guide covers Android TV boxes.
4. Use the external device’s remote from then on. The webOS interface stays out of the picture.

This gives you the native app: smoothest playback, full interface, no browser compromises. For regular TV watching, it is the option worth paying for.

Option 2: Cast From Your Phone

With NetMirror running on your phone, you can get it on the LG TV screen two ways.

Chromecast / Google Cast

1. Plug a Chromecast (or use a Chromecast-enabled external device) into the TV — note that LG TVs do not have Chromecast built in, so this needs the dongle.
2. Put your phone and the Chromecast on the same Wi-Fi network.
3. Open NetMirror on your phone, tap the Cast icon if the stream supports it, or mirror the whole screen via the Google Home app.

Screen mirroring via Miracast

1. On the LG TV, open Screen Share from the home launcher.
2. On an Android phone, open Cast / Screen Cast / Smart View from quick settings and select the TV. (iPhones cannot use Miracast — recent LG models do support AirPlay, but that only mirrors the iPhone screen, and NetMirror on iPhone is itself the web version; see our iPhone guide.)
3. Open NetMirror on the phone once connected.

Limitations of casting and mirroring

• Quality loss. Mirroring re-encodes the phone screen live — softer picture than native playback, and 4K is not supported by NetMirror in any case.
• Your phone stays busy. Notifications, calls, and screen timeouts interrupt the TV. Disable auto-lock while mirroring and keep the phone charging.
• Latency. Acceptable for movies and shows; that is what this is for.

Option 3: The webOS Browser (Limited)

LG’s built-in browser can open the NetMirror web version. Consider it a stopgap:

• Remote-based navigation is awkward and the browser may struggle with heavier streams.
• Expect more buffering than any other option on this page.
• Verify the web address through the developer’s own channels before trusting it — phishing lookalikes target TV users too. See our web version and status guide.

Which Option Should You Pick?

• Regular TV watching: external device (Option 1). One purchase, permanent fix, best quality.
• Occasional watching with an Android phone: casting/mirroring (Option 2). Free, with trade-offs.
• Nothing else available: webOS browser (Option 3). A fallback, not a solution.

If your main screen is a smart TV and workarounds frustrate you, a service with native TV apps may simply fit better — our alternatives comparison lists which ones run natively on LG TVs.

Choosing the Right External Device

Not all streaming devices are equal for this job:

• Amazon Fire TV Stick. The most popular choice and the best documented for sideloading — our Fire TV Stick guide walks through the exact steps. Inexpensive, widely available, and the remote is good.
• Chromecast with Google TV. A clean Android TV experience with a strong remote and interface. Sideloading works the same way as on any Android TV device.
• Generic Android TV boxes. Cheaper per unit, but quality varies wildly — underpowered boxes stutter on 1080p streams that a Fire TV Stick handles easily. If you go generic, check the RAM (2 GB minimum) and prefer known chipsets. Whatever you buy, it should run Android TV 7.0 or newer.

Avoid “fully loaded” boxes from marketplace sellers promising hundreds of preinstalled apps — they are overpriced, often run tampered software, and you can set up a clean device yourself in under an hour following our guides.

Picture and Subtitle Tips on TV

• Set your LG TV’s picture mode to Cinema or Filmmaker Mode for the most accurate image; the vivid default modes oversaturate streaming content.
• If subtitles are out of sync, adjust the subtitle delay in the player settings rather than reinstalling anything — sync drift is a playback setting issue, not an install problem.
• When mirroring, keep the phone close to the TV and on the 5 GHz Wi-Fi band if your router offers one — mirroring is sensitive to interference, and a cleaner signal visibly improves the picture.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I install NetMirror directly on my LG TV?

No. LG TVs run webOS, not Android, and no webOS build of NetMirror exists. APK files cannot be installed on an LG TV. Use an external device, casting, or the browser workaround above.

Does LG TV have a NetMirror app in its store?

No. The LG Content Store has no NetMirror app, and anything similarly named is unrelated. Do not install lookalikes hoping they are the same thing.

Can I cast NetMirror from iPhone to LG TV?

Only by mirroring the iPhone screen via AirPlay (on supported LG models) — and on iPhone, NetMirror itself is just the web version in Safari. It works, but it is two workarounds stacked. See our iPhone guide.

What is the best device to add NetMirror to an LG TV?

A Fire TV Stick or an Android TV box running Android TV 7.0 or newer. Both are inexpensive, both run the native app, and both free you from webOS entirely for streaming.
