The iPad User Guide is a rich (and often overlooked) source of information - and provides details of how you can connect the various models of iPad to an external monitor:

Connect iPad to a display with a cable - Apple Support


If your iPad has a Lightning port, you will require an Apple Lightning to Digital AV Adapter along with a suitable HDMI cable - or a Lightning to VGA Adapter for older monitors that only have a corresponding analogue video input.


  • Lightning Digital AV Adapter

  • Lightning to VGA Adapter

If instead your iPad has a USB-C port, the equivalent Adapters for HDMI and VGA:


  • USB-C Digital AV Multiport Adapter

  • USB-C VGA Multiport Adapter

If you have a 2021/2022 model of iPad Pro, for compatible monitors that support DisplayPort over USB-C or Thunderbolt3, you can also make a direct connection using an appropriate cable.
