Hi All iv got a TACX flux & an older IPAD which cant run Zwift , my Acer Aspire Laptop is past it , I have an IPhone I can run Zwift on but would like it on a larger Screen I can get Apple TV normal for £150 or 4K for 180 any other options ? I think I could mirror my Phone through an Amazon Firestick for £40 but have heard the Phonebattery dies quickly when running Swift ? any advice welcome
Plug your phone in.
Hi,
The zwift app on the new Apple TV works really well so would go for that if you have other films music tied into Apple, guess you could get the cable that enables to plug your phone into the tv via hdmi?
IPhone & Apple tv.
Or pick up a 2nd hand laptop that meets specs to run Zwift (what I did).
Refurb'd dell here going well. £225 pushed up to 8GB ram delivered 24hrs after I ordered it, its been faultless as a Zwift only machine.
You can get an hdmi cable for your iPhone.
I got the hdmi adaptor for the iPhone. You can charge whilst using it so that’s not an issue.
I’ve not had any problems and it saved a lot of hassle of taking the laptop (fairly old unreliable laptop) etc out to the garage. I can wake up at 6:45 and be spinning in the garage by 6:55 now.
I used to use an iPad & HDMI adapter that also had a mains feed for the IPad as it runs down a bit on Zwift which fed to a large screen TV. Unfortunately the adapter (genuine Apple @ £45ish) has failed & has become intermittent powering the TV and delivering the signal on the HDMI.
So I’ve just bought an Apple 4K tv which does the job brilliantly. You might need to use the Zwift phone app too as a Bluetooth bridge as the TV only has 2 spare Bluetooth inputs - depending on how many you need for your trainer / cadence / heart rate monitor etc..
