I got a female mini hdmi to female hdmi adapter and an hdmi cable and hooked up to my TV. I got a notification on the Xformer and full black screen on the TV at times. Then I got 'Not Support!' on my Vizio 37 inch.
Then I tried hooking it to a BenQ 24" which again causes the notification in the transformer, but no output at all. The screen just shows blue.
I then tried the same mini hdmi adapter hdmi cable combination on my Canon camcorder and it worked perfectly. I tried swapping the HDMI cable with the one in use on my TV and that didn't help.
Is there any chance this is a cheap hdmi-mini hdmi adapter issue since the Xformer is detecting the plug in? Should I make a try of buying another one? Anyone get a cheap cable / adapter anywhere that you got working really well preferably with a Vizio?
Thanks in advance!
Same issue. No luck on my plasmas but my lcds work just fine
Both the tv and the screen I tried out were lcds. Should I try buying a mini to full hdmi cable? This is a major issue for me since i was planning to get rid of the broken screen notebook now connected to my TV and use the tablet to play web video.
Let me clarify. When i said not working on two TVs that is all the TVs i have. I haven't gotten an output to anything so far. But the tablet is detecting when i plug in the mini hdmi adapter.
I'm getting the same problem on a DLP HDTV... my archos tablet did output, but not the TF... I also get a connection notification in Honeycomb.

Interesting...
My Panasonic plasma did not work either, but my Vizio LCD in the bedroom did.
So is this a software issue? If it works on one TV, it must work on another...

Mine worked OK with our Samsung LCD TV, don't suppose that really helps you much but thought I'd mention it.
I have a mini hdmi to full hdmi cable and it refuses to work with my Panasonic Viera plasma, but works fine on a cheap no-name LCD. Not quite sure why
Works fine on my LG E2770V. I will try it out on my Panasonic 50" G10 and respond back.
I tried again with the same mini to full hdmi converter but with a different HDMI cable. It works but grainy as hell and way overscanned, and failed as soon as I tried playing videos. I think the extra adapter and making an extra connection point is not helping. I have ordered another single piece cable with good reviews from Amazon.
Well this is bittersweet... It's good to see I'm not alone having these issues with HDMI connection.
I bought the appropriate cable yesterday (Monstercable) and hooked it up when I got home. The TF had no problem recognizing that it was connected, but the popup notification cannot be clicked. My Sony Bravia 47" is also not recognizing the connection as I cannot switch the input to the one plugged into the TF.
I can only assume this is a software issue and will be fixed (hopefully) with a FOTA.
Does anyone have any suggestions or is there any way to get ASUS to weigh in on this issue. One of the many reasons I went with the TF was because of its HDMI output capabilities. The little popup that asks to display TF screen on the TV is a HUGE tease!!!!
At what resolution does the TF output?
Is this possible that some TV do not support that resolution?
My adapter is on its way from HK. Hopefully it will work with my TVs.
Just another confirmation that my Eee Pad outputs to my Sony Bravia LCD just fine, but refuses to output at all to my Panasonic Viera LCD... Annoyingly I bought the cable for the Viera!
Here's Asus' smart a$$ reply, which gives no solution to our problem:
Thank you for contacting ASUS Customer Service.
The resolution would be limitted to 720P,that's design of Andriod.
Wish you good luck! I do appreciate for your feedback!
–-----------------
I should point out that my TV supports up to 1080i, so this really shouldn't be a problem. I would have appreciated more help from their tech support :/

Some TVs only support 1080i but not 720p. My sony projection TV does this.

Just an update.
I bought an mini-hdmi to hdmi adapter.
My TF hdmi out works perfectly with both my plasma TVs: 720P Panasonic Viera, and a 1080p Pioneer Kuro.

I just recently purchased a mini hdmi adapter to hdmi adapter from mono price. I tired connecting the cable to my TV and I get no response from either the TV or the TF. I have a Panasonic Vierra Plasma. Shouldn't I at least get some kind of notification on the TF? Is there something I should enable first that I am missing?

I did not have to enable anything on the TF. You should see a notification icon on th TF when you connect the hdmi cable.
You can try this:
Connect the cable to the TV.
Turn on the TV and swith to the correct input.
Connect the other end of the cable to the TF.
You should see a notification on the TF, and picture should show on the TV.
My HDMI port only wirk s when it has pressure downwards. Anybody else had this?
Not sure if it is the transformer or a bad cable
Thanks
It would surprise all the other documented issues.
Also, keep in mind that not all tv's will support the transformers HDMI output.
It does work, it is just that the physical connection is really bad and unreliable

Is anyone keeping a list of tv models people have been successful with?
I've got a samsung LN40B750 from 2009 and hdmi out works fine from iPad but not with my transformer. I bought a $3 mini-hdmi to hdmi adaptor from eBay so don't know if that's the problem or not. Transformer detects the hdmi out is connected and displays logo in the bar at the bottom but I get 'no signal detected' on tv screen.
Can someone remind me does it do mirroring or only support various apps (eg YouTube)?
it didn't even detect that my Panasonic 32" was connected.

Turned out I had a bad cable. ordered a cheaper one and then it worked...
My TV is a Sony Bravia and it connects fine
I recently received an HDMI to Micro-HDMI cord, and was excited to test it on my 37" Panasonic.
I have tried every combination of turning on and off the TV/Tablet first etc...and it STILL will not show up on my TV. It's acting like there is nothing connected at all. No prompts.
So...what am I doing wrong? The cord I bought was 3 bucks on Amazon, so it may be a knock off or something. Buy a new cord? Any help is appreciated. Half the reason I bought this thing was to watch movies on my hdtv.

My micro HDMI cord only worked on my LG when I first selected the input on my TV and then unplugged and plugged the HDMI cord back into the Infinity. Also make sure the cord is plugged ALL the way in.
When I played NetFlix on the tablet, the TV would display the video and sound, but the closed captioning stayed on the device.

I bought a Micro HDMI to HDMI cord on amazon for about 3 dollars also, it worked perfectly fine on my 42inch LCDTV Panasonic. All I had to do was connect it and change the input on the TV to the right HDMI and it worked fine. Although watching movies with subtitles didn't work so well as the subtitles was left at the tablet screen, and I couldn't turn the tablet screen off while watching movies on my TV.
when you plug in the HDMI cord, the TF700 should show some kind of "HDMI" noticifation, and will stay on when connected. If you're not seeing this, then you'll need to figure out if it's the cord or HDMI port on one of your devices. The TV, hook something else to it that used HDMI. The cord, try another cord. Monoprice has them cheap too; probably like $5 with shipping. If you're not seeing the HDMI notification after the cord, and you know they cord is good, it's your TF.

I have problems as well, tried to connect my tf700 to my samsung UE46ES8005 led tv but cant get it to work
On LG i have no problems at all, but the samsung refuses. Tried different cables to no avail.
I have sent a mail to samsung support 3 days ago but no answer.... hmm
//Mackis
same her it works on my monitor but i have Panasonic tv and it doesn't work tried a variety of cables and no go but tried on a Toshiba TV at parents and it works.i had the prime and it work just fine
Asus really needs to add some HDMI scaling options to the TF700 to allow it to work with more TV's - I'm assuming these issues are because the TF700 only seems to output at it's native resolution, which most devices don't seem to like... I'll do some testing with my Toshiba 1080p TV today, just to see what I can find out as well and report any findings that may be useful.

I've connected the TF700T to be Panasonic 55TV50 Plasmass HDTV and to a Vizio 16" LCD TV. No issues.
Connecting to 2 Vizio tvs and a Hitachi no problem.
Our 58 inch Samstung plasma only sees the tablet connection on HDMI 3 which is the recommended port for a monitor hook up from a pc.

There is a HDMI encryption called HDCP that basically makes it more annoying to use HDMI than it should. Some TV's do not have HDCP enabled. Since the Infinity FORCES HDCP chances are whats happening is the TV doesnt know what to do with the encrypted signal and the tablet doesnt want to play nice so the TV will work.
Unfortunate for you, im guessing your TV is not compatible. Sorry for the bad news mate.
There have also been problems with people trying to use HDMI - DVI adapters and connect into DVI monitors, since a lot of (older) DVI devices also dont support HDCP or sometimes the connector itself doesnt have the right connections to make HDCP work often it all just doesnt work properly. Maybe in time there will be a hack to disable HDCP, until then theres not much you can do.

Again pileot... HDCP has NOTHING to do with it. Find me a monitor/tv that does have HDMI that does not have hdcp enabled..... they don't exist anymore.
If it has HDMI... then chances are 99.999999% that you have an HDCP compliant monitor.
http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20090922221218AAyrnYz
DVI will not work because the 5v signal that is needed for the monitor to recognize that something is connected to it-- is not sent with our tablets.
Seems this question is repeated as soon as it falls off the first page......
Hi, I'm thinking of purchasing a Tab S 10.5 and also looking for an MHL to VGA adapter that works for the tab. Does anyone know of any that work?
The approach that I took was to get the Samsung MHL to HDMI adapter and then plug an HDMI to VGA adapter into that. The Belkin HDMI to VGA adapter (AV10145BT) works well.
I had first tried a Startech HD2VGAMICRO adapter but it would not work. I went to BestBuy and they let me try the Belkin adapter with my tablet and one of their monitors. It worked so I bought it.

Hi - so you have this working? did you have to do anything special to get this working? like press buttons/settings on the Tab?
I brought the same adaptors as above and all I get is a blank screen! I then disconnected the HDMI-VGA part and tried using the MHL-HDMI into my PS screen and it still was blank

Just plugged it in and it worked. I tried it on several projectors and monitors. It worked on an old 1024x768 projector and various 1080p monitors and projectors.
There are several models of Samsung MHL to HDMI adapters. I have model # ET-H10FAUWESTA. That might make a difference.

I have successfully connected my Tab S 10.5 LTE to a VGA projector. I purchased a Samsung HDTV Adapter that was designed for the S4 phone. I plugged the micro usb connector into the Tab S. I then connected a generic HDMI to VGA converter to the HDTV adapter. The HDMI to VGA converter I purchased has an audio output jack so you can connect speakers. The adapter is able to get the audio directly from the HDMI port. One thing you need to know is that the HDTV Adapter requires you to plug in the power cable that comes with your tablet. You could also plug the USB cable into a battery pack if you want to make it truly portable. Good luck!

I went to a Samsung store and asked which HDMI adapter would work with a Tab S. They told me to use the HDTV Adapter that was designed for the Galaxy S4 phone (Model: ET-H10FAUWEGWW). I purchased the adapter at the shop and tried it on my Tab S. It works! I also plugged in a generic HDMI to VGA converter to it and was able to connect to a VGA projector. There is an audio output jack on the HDMI to VGA converter and it successfully sent the audio to the plugged-in speakers.

How did you do it?? I have the same adapter an it didnt work
I noticed the S5 does not use standard HDMI cable...Is any available that will work with the phone?
This cable worked well for me - http://http://amzn.com/B00GE51T9Q
For some reason it received a bunch of negative ratings but I am satisfied with it. Its also super cheap but I'll warn you ahead of time, it takes weeks to receive since its coming from China.
Link doesnt work...?
Sorry about that. Try this

or just search Amazon for "niceeshop White 1080P Micro USB MHL To HDMI HDTV Adapter AV TV Video Cable For Samsung Galaxy S3 i9300/ S4 i9500/HTC"
Do you need any sort of app to get the s5 to mirror to a tv? I bought this cable but I cant get it to work...http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00DUCB65I/ref=ox_ya_os_product_refresh_T1#customerReviews
Nvm got it working! Is there any way to change the resolution?
Resolution is automatically handled, no custom options. Your best control will be to choose the TV's display options and see which scales better.
Hdmi
I just bought a chromecast to get a workaround the hdmi cheap as chips these days
I didn't know that s5 needs a special hdmi cable.. I bought one that doesnt work.. Is there anyone i can do? What is the difference from the standard? Perhaps solder a cable or something?
Thanks,

You got a regular HDMI to HDMI? You need to purchase a micro USB to HDMI MHL adaptor. You will plug the adaptor into the phone and HDMI cable into the adaptor and television.

No. I got a microusb to hdmi adaptor but doesn't work.. When i connect s5 with tv, nothing happens.
I read above that s5 needs a special cable and not the regular (which i 99.9% have..)
So is there any way to make it work?
What special and different the cable that Samsung do?

Does it say it an MHL adaptor? I am looking at other forums and seeing people say that they are unable to get HDMI output to work with 4.4.4, what ROM are you using?

Yes it write mhl. Rom is 4.4 2 alliance rom.
Here is the cable:
http://www.e-shop.gr/startech-passive-micro-usb-to-hdmi-mhl-cable-3m-black-p-PER.813877
This is a photo of the cable:
Because it is a passive MHL cable, your display must be MHL enabled. The S5 is, so you need to look for your television model on this website
http://www.mhlconsortium.org/productlist/
If it isn't on the list, you need a different cable (or different TV which is much more expensive. )
