Dad has a v8 Ipad. I'd like to get him a wireless monitor for Christmas.
Spent way too long on a chat with Apple and their best option was a studio display model at $1600. Ehh, no thanks.
Wanting wireless because Ipad can't be plugged in charging and to the monitor at same time. (Lack of ports)
Anyone cracked this nut?
Either a wireless monitor that's compatible or some sort of adapter that allows both charge and monitor to be plugged in at same time.

This is the Apple branded adapter. You also need an HDMI cable of appropriate length.

Thanks. That may be just the answer. He has something similar but I think it doesn't have the charge slot. Only the outbound to the monitor.

If you're wanting to keep it wireless, another option would be an Airplay-2 enabled TV. Here's an site for Samsung TVs, I'm sure there are others.

The trick is to find a TV (or device) that supports casting from an iDevice. I've done it using my Amazon Fire Stick (with some 3rd party apps), but only to see if it's possible.

Google "cast ipad to tv" for more info than you probably want.

How about a cheap Chromecast stuck in the back of any TV?
