Belgee X50 is a popular smart TV that supports modern technologies for wireless and wired content transmission. But even owners of flagship smartphones sometimes encounter difficulties when trying to display an image on a large screen. In this article, we will analyze all the current connection methods, from standard Android Sometimes they encounter difficulties when trying to display an image on a large screen. In this article we will analyze all the current connection methods, from standard HDMI to advanced protocols like Miracast, and also solve typical synchronization problems.
It is important to understand that the choice of method depends not only on the TV model, but also on the version Android on your smartphone. For example, older devices may not support Android 8.0 may not support Wireless Display without additional applications, and new flagships may require special permission settings. We will take into account all the nuances so that you can stream movies, games or presentations without delays and artifacts.
If you have previously tried to connect and encountered errors like โDevice not foundโ or โNo signalโ, do not rush to blame the equipment. In 80% of cases, the problem lies in incorrect network settings or protocol conflicts. Next are step-by-step guide with illustrations of key points and a compatibility table.
1. HDMI connection: reliable wired method
The most stable way to transmit images is via cable HDMI. To do this, you will need an adapter (for example, USB-C to HDMI for modern smartphones or Micro-USB to HDMI for older models). Belgee X50 has three HDMIports, but for minimal latency we recommend using HDMI 2.0 (usually marked on the back panel TV).
Action algorithm:
- ๐ Connect the adapter to the smartphone, and the other end of the cable to the port
HDMIon the TV. - ๐บ On the remote control Belgee X50 press button

- ๐ If the image does not appear, check whether it is enabled mode
HDMI-CECin the TV settings (Settings โ System โ HDMI-CEC).
For gamers: when connected via HDMI input delay (input lag) is minimal - about 10โ15 ms, which is critical for shooters or racing. However, some adapters (especially cheap Chinese ones) can add a lag of up to 50 ms. To check this, run a screen latency test on your smartphone (for example, the application Touch Latency Test).

Settings โ Display) disableAdaptive brightnessโit may cause flickering during broadcasting.
For gamers: if you play via HDMI, enable on TV Low latency mode (Settings โ System โ Game mode). This will reduce input lag to 8โ12 ms. Also check that the mode is enabled in the smartphone settings High performance (on Samsung this is Settings โ Device maintenance โ Performance mode).
To stream 4K content via HDMI, make sure the cable supports HDMI 2.0 or higher. Cheap cables may limit the resolution to 1080p.
7. methods: Chromecast and third-party applications
If the built-in methods do not work, you can use external devices or applications. For example, Google Chromecast (connects to HDMIport of the TV) or an application like ApowerMirror for screen mirroring.
Advantages and disadvantages of alternative methods:
| Method | Pros | Cons |
|---|---|---|
| Google Chromecast | Stable broadcasting, 4K HDR support | Additional costs (~3,000 โฝ) |
| ApowerMirror | Works on older versions of Android, low lag | Requires connection to one Wi-Fi network |
| TeamViewer QuickSupport | Remote control of TV | Complicated setup, lags during video transmission |
To use Chromecast:
- Connect the device to
HDMI-port Belgee X50 and configure it through the app Google Home. - In applications (YouTube, Netflix), click the icon
