Hooked up my Acer to my HDTV with a HTC cable I had (HTC HDMI Cable - D-type to A-type connector) . Really nice quality and it mirrors the Acer (meaning whatever is shown on the Acer is shown on the TV). This is nice after my experience with my HTC EVO 4g phone... only certain apps on the phone would output to the TV. A little of the display was cut off as my HDTV has limited overscan, but it was great for watching websites with flash video or watching downloaded movies.

I love it, and it works exceptionally well. I have been playing NFS Shift on my 90 inch screen and looks every bit as good as on the tablet screen. I was a little concerned with what the quality was going to be like, but my worries were put to rest. I had my droid x hdmi cable that work with the tab perfectly. It's a good thing cuz I never used it for my droid x as it does not mirror the display like this tab does. I give kudos to Acer for building an outstanding product.

Haha NFS is so good on my TV also. I play it more than my consoles atm.

Cable Sensitivity
My HDMI out is very sensitive to the position of the cable. For instance, if I lay the Acer on a flat surface the HDMI out works great. Once I lift the tablet and cause any downward strain to the HDMI connection I lose the signal. If I hold the cable in place while holding the tablet I get the signal again.
Is this a defect specific of my tablet or is this an issue with the connection using mini HDMI? If a few of you are playing NFS I'm assuming I may have a loose HDMI out connector.
Faulty HDMI out
Well I took the Acer back to BB after further inspecting the connection. The HDMI out of the A500 was so loose that the slightest movement caused the output connection to be lost. Best Buy was extremely accommodating including offering to custom cut an anti-glare screen protector that I had applied myself in order to match the product I was exchanging.
We tested the device's HDMI output and all is well. Wel except me having to start over and re-configure a new tablet
Good to hear. My cable should be arriving today but I think I now made a mistake buying a 6' cable. It was only $4.50 so ill see how it works ands will probably get a 15' for playing games.

A500 not connecting to TV through HDMI
Hey all,
Seeing as you are discussing cables and HDMI here, figured this may be the best spot for my question.
I recently bought an A500 tab 32GB and have been trying to connect it to my Panasonic 127cm Plasma TV through HDMI.
Ordered a HDMI to HDMI mini cable (type A to C) and tried to connect the tablet to the TV, but no luck.
The Tab screen shows HDMI connected but the TV screen remains black and there is no mirroring at all.
Any advise? Could it be the cable, tab or TV?
Unfortunately don’t have other devices with HDMI that I could test
Thanks for the help

Take it into the local electronics store and test it on a TV there. Act like you're interested in the TV and you wanted to test it out with your tablet.

I should be getting my 15 foot cable from Monoprice this week and will report back too.
Honeycomb needs an overscan adjuster. Even the DROID X2 has one.

So, got my cable, but I get no audio to the TV. I only tried YouTube... And a video recorded with my G2. Still no audio. This was the cable I got: http://www.monoprice.com/products/p...=10253&cs_id=1025301&p_id=7446&seq=1&format=2

Uhm yeah, I knew you guys were going to travel down the pathway of the cable quality for some reason. My 15 foot HDMI cable from Monoprice works great, as does everything else I've ever ordered from there.

You've completely missed my point. I have ordered plenty from here. I am asking is there something I missed? Or should I simply return it for exchange? Video was fine but no audio... gonna try my other TV.

I'm sensing a little sarcasm, or at least I hope you have more faith in me than that.
Edit: Now thats weird, audio worked fine on my other TV.
The TV not working has HDMI coming from my Denon receiverinto HDMI 1, but I use my receiver and surround sound for the audio... Just thought of something though, because the TV volume doesn't work for cable TV unless the receiver is off...
I got this cable from Amazon.com, 15 feet, and it has worked fine on two different tv's.
Eh, starting to wonder if the speakers on my TV are bad. I've used my receiver speakers exclusively for a long time and never use the TV speakers. When the receiver is off, the audio is suppose to bypass the receiver and route the the TV speakers... I get nothing now. And no audio on a completely separate HDMI input on the same TV. The fact I got audio on my second TV is enough fto convince me the cable is fine. Time to talk to Best Buy about my main TV...
Well after a wait I decided to get a Transformer. A couple days ago....NCIX got them in stock so I ordered one up. Here are my opinions on it.
First thing I did is tried to update it....which was a pain in the arse to put it mildly. It would not detect any update and it was on the .9 firmware. After getting it updated ( no thanks to Asus' incomplete instructions on how to do so ) I begin to fully look around and see what I spent my hard earned cash on. I checked for light bleed and yes there is some along the bottom but it is hardly there so that is a moot point. The speakers are even but are not loud at all which is a disappointment. You need to turn the volume to maximum to watch anything basically. Some apps love to start up in portrait mode which is annoying but that is a HC problem. After I installed the 3.1 update there was no difference at all expect for all around video playback from Youtube and file playback.
Build quality is fine....except when I got mine the back was partly falling off. A quick squeeze around the bezel fixed that and I heard it snap back into place. Now there is no flex or anything at all and no spaces between the bezel and the screen.
Honeycomb is no big deal at all IMHO. Do not know why ppl go crazy over it.
Overall.....I would give it a 6/10.
Will leave it at home and continue using my Rogers Galaxy Tab for out of home.
Forgot to add....no HDMI cable [email protected][email protected][email protected] Dammit Asus!!! LOL!!!!

I don't think it's a big deal in the grand scheme of things, but it is the best OS for an Android tablet (for any tablet, IMO), and will only get better, so that's why Android tablet owners are so into it
Also, the only device I've ever purchased that actually came with an HDMI cable was my Boxee Box.
NCIX have nGear mini-hdmi to hdmi cable on sale atm for 4.99. Seriously, no product has been known to include hdmi cables ezcept some tv topnox and for 399 I wouldn't be complaining about some hdmi cable

Meh not a huge deal. It is ust if you spend almost $500 on a device it would have been nice. LOL!!!!!
I know I'm not the only person to try this, but I did manage to succeed in getting it working. I have just a 20 inch lcd monitor, with a native res of 1600x900. Its a fairly decent screen, but it doesn't have HDMI, just DVI and VGA. Plugging in an HDMI to DVI adapter got me a picture, in 640x480. And I still didn't have a way to get sound out of it. Now I like to make things complicated, so I did some research into modifying the screens EDID table. That never really panned out. But while I was toying with all that I ordered an HDMI to HDMI+sound adapter.
When it arrived it was the complete solution to my problem. The adapter doesn't list it on its features, but it does have EDID masking. It caused the Ouya to output 1080p. With that, there was nothing on screen. But I had already installed xposed and the mod collection, So in 640x480 I set 720p from the collection and rebooted. Its working perfectly now, and I've got a cheap game and media station at the foot of my bed.
I bought the HDMI sound adapter from here. It doesn't have any latency I've noticed and doesn't require any power. Probably the cheapest solution to this problem too, I pinched quite a few pennies on this. I came out of this spending maybe $90, as I bought the Ouya from the promo sale that had it at $60.
Hi everybody.
I want to connect my nexus 4 to my old CRT TV for screen mirroring. How is it possible? My tv is only has a scart socket(i can convert it to rca output) What kind of an adapter/cable/converter i need? Please give me a cheap solution. Because if it will be expensive, i can buy an android mini pc...
Thanks.
Slimport to hdmi adaptor to start and that into a hdmi to scart converter box. Probably not worth doing.
Yeah, converter boxes are bloody expensive. It will be cheaper to get a second hand lcd monitor.
Omg hdmi to scart converter boxes are really expensive :/ is there any cheaper way for slimport to rca or scart? So if isn't i will buy an android tv box with av output...
Hello, does anyone know a place that can fix a broken HDMI port on the Mad Catz Mojo? My HDMI cable got bent up and snapped off the port. :/
Thanks
maybe mobile phone repairers? i guess it's like a tablet.. so any tablet repairer could fix it.
Although, not sure if it's worth it now that it's 100USD.
This looks cool, it's win8 or ubuntu on a HDMI Stick:

Might have issues with bluetooth and wifi at the same time, it shares the same processor.
