The MacBook Air doesn't have a built-in HDMI port like some regular laptops. Instead, it uses USB-C or Thunderbolt 3 ports for connectivity. To connect your MacBook Air to a TV or monitor with HDMI, you'll need an adapter. Here are the steps to do so:

1. Get an adapter: You will need a USB-C to HDMI adapter. There are many options on the market, and the choice will depend on your needs. Make sure it's compatible with your MacBook Air's USB-C or Thunderbolt 3.

2. Connect the adapter: Insert the adapter into the USB-C or Thunderbolt 3 port on your MacBook Air.

3. Connect the HDMI cable: Connect an HDMI cable to the end of the adapter.

4. Connect to TV: Connect the other end of the HDMI cable to the HDMI port on your TV.

5. Turn on the TV: Make sure the TV is turned on and set to the correct HDMI input.

6. Mirror or extend the screen: On your MacBook Air, go to "System Preferences" > "Displays" and choose how you want to use your TV: mirror your MacBook's screen or extend your desktop.

After following these steps, your MacBook Air screen should display on your TV via HDMI. Keep in mind that you may need to adjust the display settings on your MacBook to get the resolution you want on your TV.
