I have a 32GB A500. I tried to get the video out to work on my monitors, unfortunately neither of them have HDMI, only VGA and DVI. So, I got the HDMI cable, and have tried an HDMI to DVI converter/adapter on both monitors (one widescreen, one not). With both monitors, they say "check cable" until I plug in the cable, then they activate and tell me "no signal." So they are detecting the cable being plugged in, but not getting a usable signal. I have tried this with the stock 3.1 leaked rom and now with Dexter's, with same results.
Is this not possible to get to work? Does anyone else have this working?
Thanks!
After researching I think it may be the HDCP compliance... oh well.

Is it possible to connect acer iconia via micro hdmi to pc monitor dvi. I tried with dvi converter but no signal, connecting to hdmi works fine.
I have a DVI connection on my tv and I can connect some things that are hdmi with the hdmi to dvi adapter and some things will not work.
So maybe and maybe not.
does not work for me
Using a pretty decent Sony LCD TV with both dvi and hmdi inputs - hooking my a500 up via DVI adapter results in no signal, where as plugging into the HDMI port works great.
I am far from an expert at this, but I *think* if you want to use DVI you need some form of hardware converter box to result in a useable signal. I am sure I will be corrected if i am wrong

Check here.
I would bet you DVI converter doesn't match the TV input.
There are 4 possibilities, DVI-I & DVI-D, both available in single or dual band.
I believe HDMI has to have one of the dual band converters, for HD and to pass the HDCP info so that protected content can play.
I went through this a couple months ago with my computer and TV set-up, DVI is a total pain with HDMI because of the HDCP requirements.
Also verify that your monitor is HDCP compliant, if it's not I believe you are out of luck. It needs that connection before HDMI will transmit.
I try to connect to 22" pc monitor at work, I have no interest connecting to tv via dvi since hdmi working great. With same dvi adapter I connect my laptop hdmi out to pc monitor dvi works great but iconia hdmi out to the same dvi in no signal. Some of the pc monitors are a acer and some dell result in same no signal, I really like to duplicate what I was doing with my laptop to use large screen at work but I guess that doesn't work.

Hey does anyone know of a HDMI to VGA/dvi adpater that works and can be used to connect the device to a computer monitor.
Sent from my Desire HD using xda premium
any hdmi/dvi adapter SHOULD work just fine....
no clue about vga tho.
It will depend on the capabilities of your display as well though. I have two monitors with DVI inputs (no HDMI in my house yet, sadly) and from what I can gather the reason I can't get a picture on them is that neither of them are new enough to support HDCP. When I hook it up to either, the displays and the A500 detect a connection, but I never get a picture. Using cables recommended from other threads on this forum, and tried three different HDMI-to-DVI adapters, and no success. Just an FYI. If anyone knows any differently by all means correct me
well a friend of mine had an old hdtv and didnt want to unplug any of his hdmi devices, but i tried an hdmi-dvi adaptor, and it didnt work at first, but then he changed the refresh rate on his tv and it worked. I dont know how helpful that will be to you
Plug into the tv first then plug into the Acer. I tried this and it worked. Having cable plugged into Acer A501 first just meant a blank screen. Idid have it Hdmi to Hdmi though...
Took me a go or two to work out....
If you don't mind spending some money (ca. 50 euro here in Germany) you can also try a HDMI to VGA converter. These devices do more than just giving you a dead analog and patched-through digital signal (which is what HDMI/DVI adapters do) and need their own power supply; however, they give you a genuine analog signal and separate audio, both with reasonable quality.
If your monitor is an older model, the problem may well be that it relies on the analog signal to be present... if that's the case, you'll need a converter anyway.

I have investigated VGA compatibility at length and unfortunately there is no way, other than using a converter with a power supply, that you can go from HDMI to VGA i.e. digital to analogue.
Someone told me HDMI to DVI to VGA - but that would never work.
I have a...
micro-hdmi -> hdmi cable,
adaptator F/F Hdmi
then Cable HDMI to DVI
because the monitor only has dvi and vga so i had do it this way.
But when i plug in the micro hdmi on the tablet it recognizes its plugged in but nothing shows on the monitor, its just black - but the tablet recognizes its plugged in via micro hdmi
This works on a hd tv just wont kick my monitor on
Anyone else had this problem or can help me?
Thanks,
Collin
Sounds like it's the monitor. If you're connecting to a DVI on it then it maybe that the tablet needs some sort of communication back
from the monitor that is only possible through an HDMI... since it's 'smarter' than a DVI. Probably...
Try using just the microHDMI adapter to a HDMI to DVI cable. All in one... you know HDMI on one end and a DVI on the other. So you end up with just 2 cables/pieces. Good luck!
What kind of an adaptor do I need to connect my nexus 10 to my TV (it's an older TV, not flat screen, not HD. I don't care about losing the HD, just the size.)
Thanks!
Micro HDMI to HDMI, DVI, or maybe even Component (not 100% sure on that). If the TV doesn't have any of that, then you'll likely need an Analog converter to go from HDMI to VGA, Composite, or RCA.

Check your TV. If it has HDMI, you want micro-HDMI to HDMI. If it doesn't have HDMI, but does have DVI, you'll want that.
If it has neither HDMI nor DVI, you'll need a new TV Or an HDMI to analog converter.
Nexus 10 to CRT TV connection
I have a nexus 10 tablet running stock 4.4.2. I bought an hdmi to rca converter from amazon.com and a micro hdmi to hdmi cable so that I could hook up the tablet to my old sharp crt tv. When I plug in the connections I am seeing a stripe coloured screen that says 'no signal ntsc'. when i turn the switch on the converter to pal it says 'no signal pal'. Could you tell me why this is happening and if anything could be done so that I can see the content from my tablet on my tv? Do I need any software/app installed to make this work? The only ports on the tv are the composite rca ones. I know the tv is old but its its 55 inches and in perfect working condition so I really don't want to purchase another so please if there is anything you know that would help I would be more than greatful.
My setup: the microhdmi to hdmi cable plugged into the micro hdmi port on the tablet, then the rca cable connects to the back of the tv and the rca ports on the converter. Should work?? Help me please. Thanks in advance.
Has anyone had any luck with getting TV Out to work with their S4 Active? Has anyone even tried to see if it works? If you got it to work what adapter did you use? I just tried with this PNY adapter I bought with no luck, and I was wondering if anyone else has tried.
*edit*
Seems I got the wrong adapter. Didn't realize there were 5 pin adapters for the older phones and 11 pin adapters for the newer phones.
Ok so I went out and got the correct MHL to HDMI adapter and I attempted to connect my phone to my monitor -- an ASUS VX238H -- using three different HDMI Cables. First I tried a Spyder C Class HDMI cable followed by a Belkin HDMI cable my phonee recognized being plugged into a HDMI cable but my monitor didn't detect any signal. I just now tried this off brand HDMI cable I had and when I plugged it in my monitor went black (It has two HDMI ports with my computer plugged into HDMI1 and my phone plugged into HDMI2). So my question is is there a specific type of cable I have to use or some feature some HDMI clables have that I don't want to use (such as Ethernet)?
S4 Active has it's own forum now...
