How to mirror image from a smart tv to a regular flat screen tv? What cables do I need?

[Jessamine]

Recently my smart tv got a crack on the screen. This crack makes it imposible for me to see the top part of the image but I can still select and watch my favorite shows ( as long as I dont mind watching half a screen lol). Since I have an extra regular flat screen tv in my house I thought that I could transfer the image from the smart tv to the flat screen. What cables would I need for this set up? P.S. I dont have any cable service ....I only have internet and obviously I cant connect the internet to the regular flat screen. All I want to do is transfer the image (not the internet signal) to my regular flat screen from my smart tv.

Cant'. If you're watching via the smart TV features like NEtflix , etc, those are all internal and pumped directly to the LCD panel. No output.

Ohhh....That sucks. But thanks for the help.

But a smartTV is simply Dumb TV + Roku/Firestick/ etc. Get the gist?

I know, you want to do this with $0, but hey, look at it positively you needn't buy another smartTV.
