Q: How do I connect my Apple device (Mac or iPad) to a smart TV (Sharp LC-70EQ10U)?

If your MacBook pro has an HDMI or display port video outout you can connect it to TV with an HDMI or DVI input. With DVI yo have to seperatley provide audio.

You can get adopters for an iPad that will conect to a TV's HDMI and VGA input. With VGA yuu need separate audio input.
