This capability is cool as it enables you to project a larger image of your screen (i.e., whatever it is presently displaying) on to a larger screen.
The procedure in this post needs a Windows Phone and a Smart TV. In particular a Windows Phone 8.1 operating system on a Nokia Icon. Many other Nokia/Microsoft phones have the feature called 'Miracast' to project your phone display on to a Smart TV. You need no physical connection because it is over your Wi-Fi connection. The Smart TV used here is a Samsung Smart TV.
First you need to change the source of information coming to your TV. When you are watching TV, the TV channels come into your monitor. You need to change the source to Screen Mirroring on the Samsung Smart TV as shown:
ScreenMirroring1
It is the same with other Smart TVs as well. Click on Settings on your start page on your Windows Phone 8.1 to display the following. You may need to scroll down to see the item 'Project my Screen'.
ScreenMirroring2
Click on that and the following screen will be displayed.
To start with it may show that it is not collected, but if your Wi-Fi on the phone is working it will eventually find your TV as shown above.
When you tap on Samsung LED46 you get connected and the screens you display on your phone get displayed on your Smart TV.
However, Samsung Smart TV has a problem. The image you see gets displayed inverted on your Smart TV.
I have scratched out the last sentence from the original as I found that you can fix the orientation with Advanced Settings:
