In our age, technology is developing very quickly. A person does not always have time to get used to them. You will not have time to look back, you have created something new! Quite recently, there were no mobile phones either, but now they can be safely connected to the TV. This is very convenient when you need to use your smartphone to showcase photos from the phone gallery. There are several ways to connect your smartphone to your TV.
We connect via cable
Using the wired method is advisable at home, because you do not always have the right cable at hand, and at home there will be no problems finding it. You can connect your phone via USB or HDMI.
The most popular connection method is via HDMI. This cable has a high data transfer rate. You can watch videos and listen to audio recordings from your phone on your TV! But, of course, this method is only suitable if a suitable connector is provided on the TV and smartphone.
Through USB, the TV will use the phone as a flash drive, reading presentations, video files, and so on from it. Insert the mini USB / micro USB cable into the desired input on the smartphone, the other end into the USB port of the TV. That's it, now you can use your TV as a whiteboard for your presentation! Just keep in mind - before connecting with a wired method, turn off both the phone and the TV first!
Connect wirelessly
Of course, there is a way to connect your phone to your TV without using a cable. It is based on Wi-Fi transmission technology. So you can wirelessly view files from the gadget at any time convenient for you! Only such a connection is possible exclusively with a TV that supports this platform for interacting with the Internet.
So, first, download a special application on your phone that will allow you to establish a wireless connection. You need to choose based on which manufacturer your TV has. For example, for Panasonic you need to download Panasonic TV Remote 2, for Samsung - Samsung Smart View. The connection will be possible by connecting both devices to the Wi-Fi point. On the screen of the gadget, the application will scan the network, after which it will find your TV.
It is worth noting that some Android devices can support the Wi-Fi Miracast protocol - it "mirrors" what is shown on the phone screen. And if you are an iPhone owner, then you can connect your phone to a TV using AirPiay technology. To do this, you need to buy a special attachment.
Wi-Fi Direct technology provides a wireless connection where you don't need to tether your device to your home network. Only TV and smartphone need to support this technology to run it. First, Wi-Fi Direct must be launched on the phone (find it in the “Wireless Network” settings). In the TV menu, repeat the procedure. When the TV detects your smartphone, it will only send a connection request.
That's all - for sure, among the listed methods of connecting your gadget to a TV, you can find the one that suits you!
