The 43UK3163DB also offers Screen Share (Screen Mirroring via Miracast). Screen Share lets you watch what's on your mobile or tablet, on the big screen - wirelessly (requires a wi-fi network and Miracast certified smartphone - firmware update may be required). Aimed at those looking for a second TV to go in the kitchen or bedroom, this set includes a ‘Screensaver’ mode where the TV displays calendar, weather reports and shopping list details when the screen is in standby. HDR10, HLG and Dolby Vision are covered on the HDR side, but there’s no Dolby Atmos sound with this model featuring a sound system developed by Onkyo.
