Most iPad models support both screen mirroring - via connection to a single external monitor using an appropriate HDMI Adapter. The most recent models of iPad Pro also support HDMI Alternate Mode/DisplayPort connections over USB-C. Compatible iPad models can be directly connected to a single monitor/TV.
You should note, however, that iPad does not support an extended-desktop view - but instead permits the iPad display to be “mirrored” to a compatible external monitor/TV, preserving the iPad’s screen aspect-ratio. The iPad can also “stream” media content directly to an attached monitor.

To do so, you will require an appropriate HDMI Adapter. For iPad models that have a Lightning port:
- Lightning Digital AV Adapter

iPad models that have a USB-C port (current models of iPad Pro, iPad Air5 and iPad mini6) require either a suitable third-party USB-C hub that incorporates an HDMI port - or from Apple:
- USB-C Digital AV Multiport Adapter

Also consider that your Smart TV may natively support AirPlay - and may not require a wired HDMI connection:
