If you already have a TV with an HDMI port and don't want to shell out money for a new smart TV, one of the best (and cheapest) solutions to enjoy streaming on it is to get a Google Chromecast.
Since Chromecast is an HDMI device, it basically works with any screen that has HDMI ports. So beyond your TV, it will also work with monitors, projectors, and other screens that are HDMI-compatible.
However, your display should have a minimum of Full HD resolution to enjoy high-definition content from the Chromecast. Furthermore, if you have a 4K Chromecast, you need a 4K TV and high-speed internet to enjoy its benefits as well.
You should also note that your device must have an HDMI input to work with Chromecast; that means it won't work with an output-only HDMI port. So, unless your laptop or other devices accept HDMI input, Google Chromecast won't work with them.
Most popular streaming, video, and presentation apps are compatible with Chromecast. If your TV and Google Chromecast are turned on, you just need to tap on the cast icon and select your Chromecast device. From there, you can start streaming video from your iPhone or iPad to your TV.
However, if you want to cast your iPhone's or iPad's entire screen even when you're not using a compatible app, like the iPhone's Photos app, you need to use a third-party app like Replica, Screen Mirror, or TV Mirror. Most of these apps are free to download—however, they also require a subscription or one-time payment to use all their capabilities.
