Screen mirroring options in menu bar disappeared with 10.12.4 update

After my 12" 2015 MacBook got the macOS 10.12.4 update, the screen mirroring options in the menu bar's pull-down menu have disappeared. Now the only options in the displays pull-down are "AirPlay" and "Open Displays Preferences...".

Can someone tell me how to get them back? I'm connected to an HDTV via HDMI, if it helps.

MacBook (Retina, 12-inch, Early 2015), macOS Sierra (10.12.4), HDTV, HDMI

Screen mirroring option of menu has changed and it is now for AirPlay only. Use Option+F1 or Option+F2 to bring up the Display Preference pane which allows you to turn on and off mirroring and set resolutions.
