HDMI Query - Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I know we have hdmi out cables to display phone on a tv but...
Is it possible to do the opposite... use the phone as the display via hdmi.
E.g. laptop hdmi out -> adapter -> phone.

[Q] HDMI not recognised - please help!

Hi -
I'm trying to hook my TF up to my TV (panasonic bravia) to test out playback of some movies.
I bought a new HDMI mini-> HDMI (from Maplin) and nothing happens when I plug it in and hook it up to the TV - is anything supposed to happen on the TF when connected? I change the TV to the appropriate input for my HDMI and nada. Nothing.
There's no recognition of the cable on the TF at all - I have carefully ensured that it is in as far as it will go. No icons. nothing
Is there anything else I can do? Any settings? - I looked but couldn't see anything obvious. Does the TF need to be plugged in to power when connected to a TV?
Many thanks for your time!
No, there is nothing else to do....it just works when you plug it in.
It could be one of two things; cable or your tv.
I've heard people with both problems.
Hook it to someone elses HDTV with that cable to check...
Mine doesn't seem to work in my Panasonic big TV but works with my little Samsung?!

Does your tv support whatever resolution & frequency the tf is outputing and have you gone through your TVs settings to see if you can adjust some setting?
Also with some other devices people have noticed issues with HDMI cables that support Ethernet.

Need Seperate Adaptor
It would have been nice if they had built either an HDMI or MiniHDMI port right on the tab, but instead, you need to purchase an adaptor for HDMI output.
Samsung makes one called the "Samsung Galaxy Tab HDTV Adaptor", Samsung part number EPL-3PHPBE. With it, you plug in one end to the 30 pin connector port on your tab, then connect the 30 pin power cable that came with the tab into the adaptor (thus allows the unit to charge / stay charged while in use), and connect a standard HDMI cable to the other end of the HDTV adaptor.
You can purchase direct from Samsung, $49 I think, but I got mine on Amazon for $24.95.
Hope that helps mate.
Does this work now because of 2.3?

there is a HDMI cable designed for galaxy tab 10.1 (a cable not a dock ) to be attached to the buttom of the device directly
Is this something i could get at bestbuy or is amazon and ebay my best bet?

[REQ] microUSB Video Out for PC

Hi, I'm wondering if there is a video out option for PCs, Ive only been able to find mhl hdmi adapters for the nexus 7.. would it be possible to modify the hardware of an mhl adapter and/or develop an app that allows a PC video in connection via microUSB for use as a dual monitor?

DVI

Does anyone know if the GNote 3 will work with the smart dock and a DVI connection on a monitor? Or do I have to just buy a monitor with a HDMI connection?
Get a hdmi to dvi adaptor they are pretty cheap
