How to connect an iPhone, iPad or iPod Touch to your TV
March 24th, 2011 by Sharon VakninYour iOS device is good for accessing media on the go, but there may be times when you want to share your movies, photos, music or play games on a TV.
Connecting your iPhone, iPad or iPod Touch to your TV is simple, but you have to select the right cables first. All of the items below (bar AirPlay) feature conversion from Apple's proprietary 30-pin port to a format that your television can use.
HDMI adapter
Apple's Digital AV Adapter is the highest-quality video transfer, and is the only cable that will do mirroring with the iPad 2. It's also compatible with the iPad, iPhone 4 and iPod Touch (fourth generation).
When connected with the iPad 2, everything you see and hear (even games!) will be mirrored on your TV. For all other devices, only video-enabled apps (like YouTube, Netflix or stored videos), music and photos can be displayed on your TV.
Resolution: 1080p (except videos are 720p)
Component cable
This component adapter cable doesn't do mirroring, but it will route video-enabled apps, photos and music to your TV. It's compatible with all iPhones, all iPod Touchs, both iPads, iPod Nano (third generation and later) and iPod classic.
An interesting development is that some games, like Rage HD (for the iPhone 4), have been optimised to work with this cable. The iPhone becomes the controller, and gameplay is displayed on your TV.
Resolution: 480p-576p or 480i-576i
Composite cable
Only video-enabled apps, photos and music can be routed to your TV with the composite cable. However, if you have an older TV, this might be your only option. It's compatible with nearly all mobile Apple devices.
Resolution: 480i
AirPlay
With an Apple TV, you can use the AirPlay feature and avoid cables altogether. Connect your iOS device to the same Wi-Fi network as your Apple TV, select the video you want to watch from your device and press the Air Play button (it's hidden when you're not on the network). Select "Apple TV", and your content will begin streaming. Use Air Play to stream photos, videos or music to your TV.

After playing games on my iPad, getting an hdmi cord and playing them on my big screen makes such a difference!

This is really a great way to send video from your smart phone or tablet on a bigger screen. If you have a newer television, it should be easy to figure out what cord you need. If I'm at home and want to watch a movie that has great visual effects or a nature program from my mobile device, I just plug it in to my 42" flat screen and the whole family can watch together. No huddling over a smaller screen, and no need to mess with hooking up other devices. Who said technology had to be complicated?
