- via USB cable;
- AirPlay and Apple TV;
- DLNA;

On a note! It is worth knowing that the composite and component cables, as well as the 30-pin connector do not support Full HD video playback, so on a large screen the quality of the video transmitted from the iPhone 4 will be lower than when broadcasting the same content from the iPhone 5, 6 , 7 and newer.
USB connection
The next way to connect an iPhone to a TV receiver is via a USB cable. To do this, connect it to a smartphone, and then to a TV. The TV receiver should display the message “new device found” (or similar in content, depending on the model of the device). This means that the connection has been successfully established. Then it is necessary select USB playback as the source on the TV.

Surfing the Internet, using applications and solving other problems will not be available to the user.
AirPlay Connection
Apple TV is a proprietary multimedia set-top box from Apple that allows you to make a real entertainment center from a regular TV without Smart TV function. This unit has an AirPlay function that allows you to transfer the iPhone screen to the TV.
To create such a connection, you must:

To set up a connection, you need to connect your iPhone and TV panel to your home WiFi networks... Further it is necessary download from App Store on smartphone software allowing you to transfer multimedia content from your phone to your TV.
