If you download movies or series, if you want to watch YouTube videos on the big screen or if you just want to play all sizes, the best way to do this is by connecting your Android phone or tablet to television. There are two ways to do this, using WiFi or with the help of a HDMI cable.
Whatever method you choose, it is a fairly simple process that will not take too long.
Two methods to connect your Android to the TV
Using a HDMI Cable
This is the simplest method, since you only need an HDMI cable. It will depend on the type of mobile device, some already bring the micro HDMI port, but in other cases it will be necessary to use an MHL microUSB to HDMI converter, such as the above image, which has cost about 8 euros.
All you have to connect the cable to your Android and the TV, and look for the HDMI source with the TV remote. Once done, you will have the screen of your smartphone or tablet on your TV and you can see games, apps, videos and your favorite content on the big screen.
by WiFi
To connect your smartphone to the TV wirelessly, two things are necessary. First, your TV must have WiFi option, something we find virtually any SmartTV today. On the other hand your phone must also have multi-function display. If you are sure that accounts with both options, just follow these steps:
1. Through the source of your TV, find the wireless display option.
2. Start multi-screen option on your smartphone. Once inside, your phone will start searching for other devices that are connected to the WiFi network through this function. Here you must select your TV.
3. Once the two devices are recognized, the screen of your smartphone appear on the TV.
There are also some applications where you need not follow these steps because they can connect to the TV automatically. This occurs with numerous video and image applications, such as YouTube or your phone gallery.
In these applications you will find an icon with two screens or a screen and connecting a WiFi signal. Clicking on this button, you'll find all the devices connected to your network. You have to choose your TV and the app in question will appear on the screen.
