No. The AirPlay 2 capabilities of your Smart Tv are not compatible with the Airplay capabilities of High Sierra.
At least, it did not work for me from a 2011 Mac mini with High Sierra. The Tv simply does not show up in the Airplay menu. The Apple TV connected to it does.
The only other option would be to connect directly with an HDMI cable.

Thanks, that's what I thought but hoped there was a cable-free solution! I wonder if more recent OS's can mirror thru Airplay to the TV....
Yes. newer macOS versions such as Big Sur or Monterey can Airplay to an Airplay 2 capable TV.
Good. After ten years of faithful service from my 2011 MBPs, I'm on the verge of finally upgrading anyway. Thanks.
