I would like to use a large television to fly FPV.  I am looking for a way to connect to the television like I do the tablet.  I guess you could use a smart TV and have it logged into a youtube account as you live stream it, but I was curious if anyone else has used a television as a display to fly.  I know when I review the footage on a large TV it is much more detailed even if I use a 1080P file due to the size of the picture.  It would be great to fly this way so I could actually see what I am recording in real time so I can adjust my distance, framing, etc.

If you use an iPhone, try Airplay Mirroring to an Apple TV box plugged into the HDMI. I tested it on mine a few days ago and it appears to work - though I only tried it from the ground.

If you want to sit in your living room and fly FPV then the above suggestions will not work as you'll probably have a large delay.
What you can do is get a NVIDIA Shield K and it has an HDMI port and you can plug it into your TV.
I've never tried so can't promise you anything.

Why can't you get the HDMI Output Module that DJI sells for the P3 & P4 controllers?
Install that, & then run an HDMI cable from the module to the tv?
It may be a good idea to have that tv either "outside" or near the exterior of a building so that you can still keep an eye on your drone while in flight.
I've seen one operator with a flat screen in the back of his SUV being powered by a small generator. He sat in a lawn chair at the rear of his SUV, while he used his large flatscreen tv as the display. His controller was linked to the tv via HDMI cable.
