Here’s a quick overview from Apple about AirPlay Follow the steps below to use Airplay. Note: older devices may need updates, check Apple’s system requirements for AirPlay.

Casting is the process of wirelessly streaming content from your phone or tablet, by connecting to the same WiFi network as your television. Smartphone apps like AllCast will be able to cast direct to the TV for you, though most modern Android phones (Android 4.2 onwards) and Windows devices (Windows 8.1 onwards) will support the Miracast casting standard.

With Miracast, you simply head to your phone’s Display settings, check under Cast, and select Enable Wireless Display to check for nearby devices to cast to.

If you have a Chromecast Enabled TV check this article for the steps on ‘casting’ a tab from your laptop to your TV.

 Connect your TV to a Phone, Tablet or Laptop using an HDMI Cable

All flat-screen TVs offer at least one HDMI port, as do practically all non-Apple laptops that have been manufactured in the last eight years. HDMI is just about the best solution at the moment, as it supports both audio and video. All you need, therefore, is an HDMI cable to connect the two.

You could spend a small fortune on expensive HDMI cables, but the truth of the matter is that for HD video transmitted from your laptop, any HDMI cable will do. These are inexpensive and can be found on Amazon.

Additionally you can buy any of the adapters for pretty much any device to output to HDMI. iPhones and iPads, Tablets, etc.... all will have a path to HDMI allowing you to plug and go.
