How to Connect iPad to TV

The iPad is a great device for laying in bed and watching a movie on Netflix or browsing videos on YouTube, but sometimes you want to see them on the big screen. So how to you go about connecting your iPad to your TV? Whether you have an old TV from the dark ages or the newest HDTV on the market, it's actually rather simple to get your iPad hooked up to your television.

From the iPad help file:

To connect an iPad to your TV or a projector, you can either use the Apple Component AV Cable, Apple Composite AV Cable, Apple iPad Dock Connector to VGA Adapter, or other iPad-compatible cable. If you’re using the Apple Component AV Cable, high resolution videos will be shown in HD quality.

Use TV Out settings to set up how iPad plays videos on your TV.

When the cable is connected to a TV or projector, an application that supports playing video to an external display will automatically use it when playing video. Of the built-in applications, Videos, Photos, and YouTube support external video display.

Set the TV signal to NTSC or PAL: Choose Video > TV Signal and select NTSC or PAL. NTSC and PAL are TV broadcast standards, used in different regions. If you’re in the Americas, NTSC is probably the correct choice. Elsewhere, try PAL. If you’re not sure, check the documentation that came with your TV or projector.
