您的MacBook具有漂亮的显示屏，非常适合在笔记本电脑上进行任何类型的工作 - 但如果您想观看自己喜欢的节目或播放存储在Mac上的内容，您可能希望将其连接到电视。
有多种方法可以做到这一点。有些需要物理电缆，而另一些只需要稳定的 Wi-Fi 连接。无论(Regardless)您选择哪种方法，您都可以在电视上观看自己喜欢的内容——而且看起来也很不错。
使用HDMI 电缆(HDMI Cable)连接您的Macbook
最基本和最直接的选择是将HDMI电缆连接到Macbook，将另一端连接到电视。完成此操作后，只需将输入切换到正确的HDMI端口，您的Macbook屏幕就会出现在电视上。请注意，您的计算机将改变分辨率并在电视上显示为按比例缩放。
如果您使用的是较旧的Macbook Pro，它可能有一个HDMI端口。如果是较新的Macbook型号，您可能需要Thunderbolt到HDMI适配器。一些旧型号的Macbook(Macbooks)还支持Mini DisplayPort，为您提供更多连接选项。
如果您没有HDMI端口，也可以使用 USB-C 端口转HDMI或DVI端口适配器。大多数较新型号的MacBook Pro(MacBook Pros)或MacBook Air(MacBook Airs)都配备了Thunderbolt 2或Thunderbolt端口，但其他Apple设备（如Mac Mini）具有不同类型的端口。
使用屏幕(Screen)镜像
连接您的MacBook
与另一台设备共享MacBook屏幕的最简单方法之一是通过屏幕镜像。智能电视(smart TV)可以很好地解决这个问题，但如果你没有智能电视，你可以连接Roku、谷歌 Chromecast(Google Chromecast)或亚马逊 Firestick(Amazon Firestick)来达到同样的效果。
- 选择屏幕右上角
的控制中心。(Control Center)
- 选择Screen Mirroring图标，然后选择要投射到的设备。所有兼容的设备都会出现；如果没有出现，请确保您的MacBook和流媒体设备在同一个Wi-Fi上。
- 如果您之前没有连接到此设备，系统会提示您在MacBook上输入代码。输入后，您将自动连接到设备，并且您的Mac屏幕将出现在其上。
- 要停止镜像显示，请再次选择控制中心内的设备。(Control Center)您的MacBook屏幕将恢复正常。
镜像时，任何内容在两者上都将显示相同。即使您使用Flux之类的东西来降低Mac的亮度，连接外接显示器也会禁用它。
使用 AirPlay 连接 MacBook
大多数现代智能电视都与 AirPlay(with AirPlay)兼容。这使您可以通过 Wi-Fi 网络将视频和音频直接传输到电视。AirPlay 与屏幕镜像几乎相同(AirPlay is virtually the same)，但您通常可以选择直接从内容
中使用AirPlay 。
- 打开Apple Menu > System Preferences > Settings > Displays。
- 选择添加显示。
您的Macbook会自动将其添加为外部显示器。您将能够调整您的设置。如果您的电视分辨率高于Macbook，则图像可能会像素化。在这种情况下，以窗口模式观看内容。
AirPlay适用于许多流媒体设备，但与(AirPlay)Apple TV配对时最有效。您也可以使用AirPlay从您的 iPhone(stream content from your iPhone)或 iPad 流式传输内容。
虽然看起来不像，但视频输入的选择很重要。它会影响流的分辨率和最终质量。例如，直接在电视上观看Netflix与在(Netflix)Mac上观看并将其流式传输到大屏幕看起来会有所不同。通过Wi-Fi(Wi-Fi)流式传输更方便，但像HDMI电缆这样的稳定连接将具有更好的输出。
当然，这也取决于您的电视屏幕。如果您的电视不是高清电视(HDTV)，那么您使用什么并不重要——内容看起来会比在高端屏幕上明显更差。如果您打算观看大量内容，但没有现代电视，请考虑使用智能电视选项。Vizio和三星(Samsung)都有价格实惠、预算友好的选择，使升级比您想象的要容易得多。
How to Connect a MacBook to a TV
Your MacBook haѕ a beautiful display, and it’s excellent for any kind of work оn the laрtop – but if you want to watch уоur favorite show or plаy content ѕtоred on your Mac, you may wish to cоnnect it to a TV.
There are multiple ways to do this. Some require a physical cable, while others need nothing more than a steady Wi-Fi connection. Regardless of which method you choose, you’ll be able to watch your favorite content on the TV – and it’ll look pretty good, too.
Connect Your Macbook With an HDMI Cable
The most basic and straightforward option is to connect an HDMI cable to your Macbook and the other end to your TV. Once you do this, just switch the input to the correct HDMI port and your Macbook screen will appear on your TV. Be aware that your computer will change resolution and appear scaled on the TV.
If you’re using an older Macbook Pro, it might have an HDMI port. If it’s a newer Macbook model, you might need a Thunderbolt to HDMI adapter. Some older-model Macbooks also support Mini DisplayPort, giving you even more connection options.
If you don’t have an HDMI port, you can also use a USB-C port to HDMI or DVI port adapter. Most newer models of MacBook Pros or MacBook Airs are equipped with Thunderbolt 2 or Thunderbolt ports, but other Apple devices like the Mac Mini have different types of ports.
Connect Your MacBook With Screen Mirroring
One of the easiest ways to share your MacBook screen with another device is through screen mirroring. A smart TV will work well for this, but if you don’t have a smart TV, you can connect a Roku, Google Chromecast, or Amazon Firestick to achieve the same result.
- Select the Control Center in the top right of your screen.
- Select the Screen Mirroring icon and then select which device you’d like to cast to. All compatible devices will appear; if none show up, ensure your MacBook and the streaming device are on the same Wi-Fi.
- If you haven’t connected to this device before, you’ll be prompted to enter a code on your MacBook. Once you enter it, you will automatically be connected to the device, and your Mac screen will appear on it.
- To stop mirroring your display, select the device within the Control Center again. Your MacBook screen will return to normal.
When mirrored, any content will appear the same on both. Even if you use something like Flux to reduce the brightness of your Mac, connecting an external monitor will disable it.
Connect Your MacBook With AirPlay
The majority of modern smart TVs are compatible with AirPlay. This allows you to stream video and audio over your Wi-Fi network straight to your TV. AirPlay is virtually the same as screen mirroring, but you can often choose to use AirPlay directly from the content.
- Open Apple Menu > System Preferences > Settings > Displays.
- Select Add Display.
Your Macbook will automatically add it as an external display. You’ll be able to adjust your settings. If your TV’s resolution is higher than your Macbook, the image can be pixelated. In situations like this, watch content in windowed mode.
AirPlay works with many streaming devices but is most effective when paired with an Apple TV. You can also use AirPlay to stream content from your iPhone or iPad, too.
Although it might not seem like it, video input choice matters. It affects the resolution and ultimate quality of the stream. For example, watching Netflix directly on your TV will look different than if you watch it on your Mac and stream it to the big screen. Streaming over Wi-Fi is more convenient, but a steady connection like an HDMI cable will have better output.
Of course, it also depends on your TV screen. If your TV isn’t an HDTV, then it doesn’t matter what you use – content will look noticeably worse than on a higher-end screen. If you plan to watch a lot of content, but don’t have a modern TV, consider looking into a smart TV option. Both Vizio and Samsung have affordable, budget-friendly picks that make upgrading a lot easier than you might think.
