Short answer
Use a USB-C to HDMI adapter and an HDMI cable. iPads with a USB-C port send video through it, so the TV shows your iPad screen.

These go with the USB-C to HDMI adapter with charging.
How to connect it

- Optional: plug a USB-C charger into the adapter's charging port.

Check this first
- iPads with a USB-C port can send video through it.
- Your phone or tablet must be able to send video through USB-C. Many Android phones cannot.
- You also need an HDMI cable.
- For 4K at 60 Hz, pick an adapter that lists 4K 60 Hz (HDMI 2.0).
- It mirrors your screen. Some streaming apps block video through a cable; if yours does, open that service's own app on the TV instead.
Other ways to do it

Apple TV 4K (AirPlay, no cable)

My iPad has a Lightning port. Will this work?
No. Lightning is the small flat port on older iPads; use Apple's Lightning Digital AV Adapter instead.
Why do some streaming apps show a black screen?
Some streaming apps block video through cables and adapters to protect their content. If that happens, tap the cast or AirPlay button inside the app to send the video to a smart TV or streaming box, or open that service's own app on the TV.
