This worked for me. You can connect your iphone/ipad directly to a tv or monitor.<br />

Hello,<br />
I'm trying to figure out my best option. &nbsp;I want to show a 10 minute u tube video clip. The venue is at a restaurant with brand new large flat screen T.V.'s. &nbsp;The T.V.'s look like they have every port imaginable but the easiest to get to is the HDMI port on the front. &nbsp;I have an older laptop that doesn't have an HDMI port, only VGA. &nbsp;I also have the iPad 2. &nbsp;For BEST QUALITY video to show on the big screen T.V. is there anything I can buy besides a new laptop? &nbsp;Is there a good converter cable? &nbsp; I currently have a device called PCTOTV that works going from my laptop to the T.V. but the quality really stinks and there is no sound unless I play it thru speakers on the laptop. &nbsp;Suggestions?

Laptop or ipad to T.V. options

iPad is an iOS-based line of tablet computers built around the device's multi-touch screen, including a virtual keyboard. The iPad includes built-in Wi-Fi and cellular connectivity on select models. An iPad can shoot video, take photos, play music, and perform Internet functions such as web-browsing and emailing. Other functions – games, reference, GPS navigation, social networking, etc. – can be enabled by downloading and installing apps.

A monitor or a display is an electronic visual display for computers, usually comprised of the display device, circuitry, casing, and power supply. The display device in modern monitors is typically a thin film transistor liquid crystal display (TFT-LCD) thin panel, while older monitors used a cathode ray tube (CRT) about as deep as the screen size. They are connected to the computer via VGA, DVI, DisplayPort, Thunderbolt, LVDS or other proprietary connectors and signals.
