Stream our Perform in Perth sessions right to your TV screen. It’s fun and convenient to watch videos from your phone or tablet but getting those same quality visuals on your big-screen TV is even better. Here are three simple ways to get started.
1. Plug in with a USB data cable.
Nearly all smartphones and tablets can plug into a TV’s HDMI port using a USB cable like a 6-foot Data Cable for USB-C. Once connected, you can project your phone’s display onto your TV – whether you’re checking out pictures, watching videos, surfing the web, using apps or playing games. All it takes is one cable, so there’s no need to connect via Wi-Fi or remember any passwords.
The longer your USB cable is, the better — especially when you’re sitting far away from your TV. Check out this 10-foot Charge and Sync Lightning to USB Cable for a convenient, lengthier option.
2. Use Google Chromecast Ultra.
If cords aren’t your thing, try a gadget that plugs into your TV, connects to Wi-Fi and communicates between your phone and the big screen. Google’s Chromecast Ultra lets you play video in breathtaking 4k resolution. It plugs into a TV’s HDMI port and connects via your existing Wi-Fi, so you can stream movies, music and games from your smartphone, tablet and other connected devices.
3. Connect via your smart TV.
Already own an iOS device? Stream music, videos, photos and games right to your TV using AirPlay.* It’s compatible with popular Apple tablets and smartphones, including iPhone 8 Plus and iPad 10.2. The AirPlay icon is accessible from a number of apps, and allows you to connect to your Apple TV via Wi-Fi. Simplified controls make it easy to zoom, pause and switch viewing modes while you’re connected to the big screen.
Alternatively, Samsung Smart TV owners can view content from their connected devices using Smart View. Available on Google Play, the App Store and Samsung Galaxy Apps, it turns your smartphone into a remote for an easy way to manage your screen. Connect your devices all in one place and create personalized playlists for your favorite videos, pictures and music. Like AirPlay, Samsung Smart View connects your devices to your smart TV using your existing Wi-Fi network.
