Best way to stream Android phone and iPad onto non smart TV?

[Josho]

Best/cheapest way?

Want to stream Amazon Prime/YouTube/other online videos onto the TV without much fuss.

Cheers!

If it's too much hassle for iPad and android then just android will do.

Chromecast for me.it just works.there may be better solutions out there but this is a simple way of achieving what you want

Cast/Chromecast is supported by most stuff nowadays, so an easy recommendation.

*BUT*, Prime Video doesn't support it, due to the continuing stand off between Google and Amazon.
If you want to cast from the Prime app on an Android device you'll need to cast entire screen, which works but you'll have some drop off in quality.

For £40ish (depending on timing/which way the wind is blowing!) you could just get an Amazon Fire TV stick so Prime/YouTube/Netflix etc all onboard without having to cast from a secondary device. If you do want to show the display from a tablet, laptop etc then you can also cast to the Fire TV stick - whether this works seems to be a bit device-specific though; my Galaxy S8 can do it fine whereas my Surface connects but struggles to cast successfully.

YouTube has to be cast as well now, again due to the saber rattling between Amazon and Google.

If you want Prime and or Netflix you are better off with a TV Firestick.

If you want to cast stuff then you want a Chromecast.

OR

A Roku.

OR

An Xbox or PS4 which all do all of these things natively and can also do the SkyGo stuff as well
