Hello friends. I am planning on buying this Tablet. I just have a small query. does it support connecting to HDTV (led TV to be specific) through HDMI. Gsmarena says it supports TV out
As far as i know all tests with the tab 1 HDMI out accessories resulted in failures.. So i think that it does not support HDMI out due to the hardware

Hello All,
Search quite a few threads on xda as well as internet but unfortunately nobody have been facing issue similar to mine.
Okay, let me put it in brief. I bought an original samsung mhl adapter for galaxy s2 from ebay which presumable works well with samsung galaxy note too (haven't seen any MHL Adapter specifically for galaxy note) as heard on forums and web. It did not work. So, i got back to the vendor and he replaced it to me with another MHL Adapter. That too did not work. I got a refund as the vendor was good.
I still somehow wanted the MHL to work so went to a different vendor, known for good products (i.e. flipkart) and purchased another MHL adapter after confirming with the executives that yes it would work with galaxy note. It too isnt working.
In both the cases, the phone gets charged but there are no such notifications (notifications such as USB Host Cable Connected, or Keyboard Connected or MHL Connected etc). I have a working HDMI 1.4 cable (tested and verified), and yes, i am aware that external power is required to the MHL Adapter. .
Now, every other functionality on my phone is working well, like USB Host Mode, bluetooth/usb keyboards and bluetooth/usb mouse, data sync via usb etc etc, its only the MHL adapter which is giving me an issue constantly. Can the micro usb port on my Note be faulty ? I dont think as every other options are working fine.
I have tried all the three MHL Adapters (2 from the 1st vendor and 1 from the second) after i upgraded my phone to ICS. Are any other users facing the same issue ?
Any help is highly appreciated.
Apparently, there are problems with MHL support on ICS.

MHL adapter regarding....
hi guys,
i am also facing the same problem with MHL adapter. i tried to connect my galaxy note n7000 to sony bravia 3d tv via MHL but failed to do so. whenever i connect MHL to HDMI Cable to tv and to phone nothing happened and not even my phone or tv show any sign of connection or any notification regarding that. my phone not even show the battery charging sign. i also used 3d HDMI cable for the connection but nothing came out.... and when the vender (from whom i purchased the MHL) gave me the demo the same MHL was working fine with his HDMI cable and tv but the cable and tv he used were not 3D whereas i have a 3D tv. i dont understand why i am not able to connect the MHL adapter using 3D HDMI cable to my Sony Bravia 40HX750 3D tv with my Galaxy Note n7000. still struggling with that.... any reply in this regard will be appreciated.... thanx.
My old tv only supports 576p.
I checked several times with Samsung and my retailer before buying my Note 10.1 that it would be compatible via the HDTV adapter and was assured it was.
Its not, nothing appears onscreen on the tv. I have checked with other tv`s that support 1080p and its all fine, so no faulty cable.
Is there a hack or setting I can change to lower the output to 576p?
Thank you in advance.
Samsung's new flagship device, the Galaxy S4 is the first phone to support the MHL 2.0 standard, meaning that HDTVs and monitors with such a port can charge the device and stream Full HD content down from it at once.
This adapter allows you to connect your Samsung Galaxy S4 with any standard HDMI video cabled so you can share what is on your S4's screen with other HDMI enabled visual equipment, like a monitor or TV.
This is perfect for sharing photos with family or friends or giving a presentation to a client.
The HDMI adpater uses the MHL 2.0 standard meaning the device does not need a power supply and it supports 1080p!
Just plug the microUSB/MHL connector into the S4 and then connect a standard HDMI cable to the adapter and to the TV or monitor, then the phones display will be shown on the big screen!
Samsung Galaxy S4 HDTV Adapter Features
This is an official accessory for the Samsung Galaxy S4
Allows for HDMI output to HDTV
Uses MHL 2.0 standard so the S4 does not require a power supply to work

Hello,
In an effort to get my Note 10.1 to display on a projector/monitor that only has a VGA connection I did the following:
I have connected the Samsung HDTV Adapter to my Note 10.1
I have connected the Samsung HDTV Adapter to Cable Maters HDMI to VGA Active M/F Adapter
I connected the Cable Matters Adapter to a VGA monitor
So doing all I was able to get the tablet screen to show up on the 1080p monitor, but it is very blurry. Is there anything I can do?

You're going to get some signal loss going from hdmi to vga and also from blowing up a 1280x800 screen to 1080p, but not so much it's not usable. My first question is are you using the external power source included with the cable matters adapter? Looking at the device this was the first thing that caught my attention "* The HDMI output of the source device does NOT supply 5V/500mA current"
If you're not that is the first thing I would try.
Thank you for your reply, yes I made sure all the connections were powered, unfortunately the blurriness makes the output unusable. My powerpoint presentations have small text that is blurred beyond recognition, while when I use my laptop connected to the projector, that text is sharp and readable. I have since returned the adapters, I'm not sure if there is another solution for me...
Interesting that a 1080p native monitor has no hdmi inputs.
I think when you connect GNote10.1 from hdmi -> vga monitor, it will simply output at 1280x800. And when LCD/LED monitors are not used at their native resolution, it'll look like crap. CRT (and plasma?) was fine displaying different res.
Solution? Time to upgrade and get a projector/tv that has hdmi inputs for proper presentations. VGA is outdated.

I'm having the same problem with the note 10.1 to vga projector. Do you think this is a hardware issue or software issue? As in, would we be able to find a custom ROM for the Note 10.1 that would allow for connection to projector?
Thanks!
Hi guys
I never used my 700T Tab S on the TV. Id like to try it.
My TV is also Samsung.
Are the cables all basically the same, or do some allow the tablet to display better than others on the TV?
What about OEM Samsung HDMI cables?
Thanks!!
I have mine hooked up with a Third party HDMI cable as you can see on the Dell 23" monitor with no issues on my T800 Tab S 10.5....
I am also using the Samsung HDTV smart adapter.
To connect a Galaxy Tab S to an HDMI monitor you'll need an MHL 2.0 adaptor and the original Samsung ET-H10FAUW does the job perfectly.
In my experience I would beware cheap clones or Samsung branded fakes, the Samsung ET-H10 hooks to any monitor instantly up to 1080p 60fps, while others I've tried take up to 1 minute, don't work with an optimal resolution and must be always connected with a power source.
Can the Tab S power higher resolutions on an external display, say it's native resolution or 4k?
