Did you know you could connect your iPad Pro to an external monitor? A combination of an iPad Pro and an external monitor can let you see your work on a larger scale, and with some apps, especially YouTube, you can even have your project shown on the external monitor while editing it on your iPad Pro. Let’s get started with connecting your iPad Pro to an external monitor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Connect iPad to Monitor <\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

To connect your iPad to a monitor, you will need a Lightning to HDMI adapter. You can find this adapter at most electronics stores. If you want to use your iPad with an external monitor, you must first identify and recognize your iPad. For example, if you own an M1-powered 11-inch or 12.9-inch iPad Pro, you will have Thunderbolt 4 connectivity. Meanwhile, the 2022 iPad Air “only” uses USB-C, which will still function with a wide range of monitors but will not deliver rapid transfer speeds. Similarly, the next step is to determine the monitor you own and intend to utilize with the iPad. In most cases, all you’ll need is an HDMI to USB-C cable, or you might use a dock or USB-C dongle to connect your iPad to an external monitor. Once you have the adapter, follow these steps:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. Make sure your iPad and monitor are turned on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Connect the Lightning to the HDMI adapter on your iPad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Connect the HDMI cable to the adapter and your monitor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. If your monitor has multiple HDMI ports, make sure you are specifically using the correct port.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

5. Your iPad’s screen should now be displayed on your monitor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There is variation between USB-C plugs. The iPad Pro, for example, does not support Thunderbolt 3 displays, despite the fact that the socket looks identical to a USB-C connector. The DisplayPort standard is used by the iPad Pro; however, it requires a high-speed cable to output at 5K HD. To unlock the full throughput, Apple strongly recommends using Belkin’s USB-C to USB-C cable or Apple’s Thunderbolt 3 USB-C cable.
