How to Use Split Screen on LG Smart TV

Do you like to watch your favorite movie and also want to get the live score on one single screen? Fortunately, this is possible on LG Smart TV with the Split Screen (Multi View) feature.

The Multi-View option lets you split your LG TV screen into two equal parts to access two media content simultaneously. With this in hand, you can access multiple inputs like cable TV, streaming apps, HDMI inputs, gaming consoles, and smartphone screen mirroring on LG TV.

If you like to try this out, then take a look at the detailed steps we have created in the following guide.

How Does LG TV Split Screen Vary from PiP

While the split screen displays two screens side-by-side, the PiP mode displays a small (secondary) screen, overlapping the large (primary) screen. The split-screen is unavailable, if you’re using LG webOS 6.0, 5.0, or NetCast OS versions. However, using the Picture in Picture of LG TV, you can experience viewing similar to the split screen.

Other Possible Ways to Use Split Screen on LG TV

In addition to the above methods using split screen, I’ve also listed alternative ways to use this feature.

• Screen Mirror: Press the Windows + → | ← key on your Windows PC to enable split screen. After that, you shall screen mirror the content to your LG TV.
• Multiviewer: After purchasing the multiviewer device from Amazon, you can connect it to your LG TV using an HDMI cable. After that, you can connect multiple external devices to a single channel and get the video output in a split screen.
