Hook up TF300 to pc display via DVI - Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
I tried to connect my asus to my pc display but it does not even get recognized. That's what my setup looks like: Asus-> micro HDMI to HDMI Adapter-> HDMI Cable 1meter-> HDMI to DVI Adapter-> PC Display. My dads laptop gets recognized without any problems. Did anybody else try this setup? Connecting the Pad to my TV via the micro HDMI andapter and a HDMI cable works as well.

[Q] transformer detects mini hdmi but can't get o/p on two TVs

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.

Issues with micro-hdmi adapter

Heres my problem:
I have an old rear projector TV but I wanted to hook up my transformer to it. After some amazon scouring, this is the combo I got (see attached). http://db.tt/KXFmp0v
The cord\adapter just came in the mail, plugged everything in, and not working at all. Transformer doesn't recognize the hdmi plug, and when I plug the red/yellow/white cables into my TV all I get is a buzzing.
Am i doing something wrong or missing a step?
Have you tried: mini-hdmi to hdmi adapter -> hdmi cable -> HDTV? This will rule out any faults with the mini-hdmi to hdmi adapter and pin it down to that hdmi to vga/analog audio cable.
This wont work I believe, because the device you connect the tf to must communicate back to the tf via hdmi and establish the connection its all part of the arbitration process.

I have not, as I don't have an HDTV.
Theoretically, shouldn't the device recognize when I plug the adapter in? Or would that only recognize once the actual cord is connected and a connection is established?

Sounds reasonable, considering HDMI-out never turns on until I turned my TV on (meaning it only turns on when it detects an active receiving end), unlike laptop/PC's HDMI-out which will enable itself if it detects the other end is connected to something (even if it is off)
The tv will recognize a connection but it has no way to tell the tf to send the picture because digital data must be send via hdmi to the tf and back again. Since the other end of your cable are analogue, there's no way of that happening.

All of those cables are complete crap.
Converting an HDMI signal to an analog one requires computational processing power that isn't going to be hidden in the end of a cable. If it doesn't have some sort of box on it then it's just some Chinese crap that isn't doing any digital-to-analog conversion at all.
That buzzing you hear? It's probably the HDMI digital signal being interpreted by your speakers as noise.
I should add that the HDMI doesn't need to be some sort of fancy bi-directional process. You will however need a converter to convert that HD signal into analog.
Something like this:
http://www.amazon.com/Premium-Compo...12/ref=sr_1_31?ie=UTF8&qid=1308956499&sr=8-31
But of course this would require your projector to have component video in (the three red,green,blue plugs). I know of no HDMI-RCA coaxial converter.

Mirroring

I want to use my tablet for presentations in my conference room. I need to mirror what's on my tablet screen onto a big hd television. I haven't come across a way to do it wirelessly (which would be my first choice), so I am going to resort to running and hiding a long hdmi cable. Do I need an DVI to HDMI cable?
I depends on what inputs the screen has. If it has HDMI, you'll need a Micro HDMI to (Normal) HDMI cable (the Infinity only has Micro HDMI for screen output).
I've read that using a DVI converter does not work with the TF700 - not sure if it's true - but something to be aware of...

You could use a HDMI cable going to a Wireless HDMI extender and then from that with a HDMI to micro HDMI to the TF700.
But that does get a bit pricey

check the projector for an hdmi connection, if your doing presentations you might want to take a look at quickoffice, it allows you to use the screen as a laser pointer when connected to a projector.

I just priced that out. No thanks!
At some point can we hope for an apple sort of solution?

[Q] Ethernet to Transformaer

Hey all
I am sure this has been discussed but I cant seem to find it. I will ask my question and if someone can direct me to the appropriate forum or answer my question I will be very great ful.
I have the asus tf300t without the pad. I am wondering if I can connect an ethernet cable to the micro hdmi slot to be able to get internet.
I am assuming I would need an ethernet to usb adapter and then a usb otg micro hdmi piece. Would this work and is there such a thing as the usb otg micro hdmi? I have only been able to find usb otg that is micro usb.
Any other suggestions?
Thank you all and keep up the great work!
You will need the USB converter. They are easy enough to find on Ebay or Amazon.

The you will need a USB to ethernet adapter.

Please note that these are just some of the random ones I found online and may not be the least expensive out there. Do a little shopping and you may find them for less $$.
Be cautious, not every USB>RJ45 adapter works. I bought one from some Chinese website, but it didn't work on my TF300. But I must add that I'm still on 4.0.3., so perhaps it's just a matter of getting my TF up to date.

Tablet To Laptop with HDMI

hi,
I have a laptop (Fujitsu lifebook ah530 gfx) wich has an hdmi port. I also have an archos 80 g9 tablet with a mini hdmi port. Recently I bought a minihdmi to hdmi cable and everything works fine when I connect the tablet to my tv screen. However it would be really nice if I could connect the tablet to my laptop's screen. I tried to just plugin the cables but nothing happpened. So I wonder is there any way to configure the laptop's monitor to show the tablet's screen through hdmi?

No. Laptop/PC HDMI is output only.
