You likely need an adapter that will give you a HDMI port, which you can then connect to your TV with a standard HDMI cable. However, without knowing the specific model year of your MacBook Air, it's impossible to tell directly.


Early MacBook Air models (c. 2008 - 2010) have Mini DisplayPort

Newer MacBook Air models (2011 through 2017) have Thunderbolt or Thunderbolt 2 ports

The latest MacBook Air models (2018+) have Thunderbolt 3 ports.


Once you identify your model, you can find the right HDMI adapter here: https://www.apple.com/us/search/HDMI+Adapter?src=globalnav
