Alright. I am trying to see if anyone has come up, or is working on, a method to convert MHL to a signal on a Displayport Monitor. SO far, I've worked out a couple of things.
>It doesn't work.
> I have the s3 so I have the 11 or 12 or whatever, pin connector to get image/video with charging on the phone, But, the problem I hit is conversion from hdmi to display port. I cannot even route it through a computer to convert the feed to displayport's protocol because I cannot find any way to have my computer accept the feed then kick out, without eating the data, on the displayport feed. If i could, then in theory I could yadda yadda yadda, Anyone else have a much simpler, or any, suggestion for dongle/adapter/method/route?
>If you do not know, you usually can convert display port TO VGA DVI etc, but not FROM VGA DVI HDMI to Displayport etc.

Today I tried plugging in my TF101 to a HDMI TV.
I have a mini HDMI to HDMI adapter.
I also have a HDMI cable, and a HDMI to VGA cable.
I tried both the HDMI and VGA. Plugging these into the TV got nothing.
The TV was in Chinese, but I think everything was done correctly. I pressed the change input button Flipped through all possible inputs and nothing.
I hooked another laptop up to the TV via VGA, and it worked fine.
Is there something I need to do on the TF101 to use the HDMI output, or do I need to start testing my equipment?
I really don't want to have to go back to the Asus repair center. I've been in both of the local Asus repair centers so many times for the TF101, that everyone knows me by name and I get ushered to the front of the line. I mean, I'm glad Asus has two full fledged repair centers in Xi'an, but they don't have any parts in stock, so it is worthless to go there.
perhaps the video is hdcp protected, and your TV is not?
The video should appear immediately with no input from user (besides connecting the cable).
I have had monitors and an old TV not supporting hdcp and it just gave me a black image (or no image, same thing).
I have to have my projector off when I connect the hdmi cable THEN turn my projector on.
This is my case and works every time
When i got the TF and red that it has a HMDI port.
I thought, sweet! thats cool!
Then i was looking for a cable and started thinking, why the hell would i connect my TF to my tv?
What do you guys use the HMDI port for?
Only thing i could imagin is maybe stream a movie, but i have a Playstation3 and playstation media server that covers that for me.
Games? you have to look at the TF anyway so you know your hitting the right part of the screen.
What wonderful things can we do with this?
doing slides presentation
You can show yourself playing games on the big screen to your friends instead of 10 people crowding up on a 10.1" screen right.
But yeah, slide presentations actually do use HDMI ports. But most people stick to VGA anyway.
I output my recorded movies (camcorder) to the TV for family to view instead of crowding around the tablet.
I connect a sixaxis PlayStation controller to the dock and play N64 games on the tv. (or Cordy etc.)
connect a wireless mouse to the dock and browse the web using the large display of my 24" monitor from the other side of the room.

Your question raises an important point.
I would have loved to use the HDMI port to connect to TV or OHP Projector etc to make presentations - but apparently the Asus HDMI port is not HDCP compliant and so it would not work with many devices that do accept HDMI inputs but expect them to be HDCP compliant.
I have tried connecting my Tablet to my Panasonic LCD TV using the HDMI port and have failed.
I have tried connecting the same to my computer's LCD monitor using HDMI and it seems to work correctly because the computer monitor does not expect HDCP Compliance.
So I raise the question that you raised.
What can this HDMI port be used for? For me so far this port is useless.
Most TVs will have HDCP in at least one HDMI input.
However, sometimes not every HDMI port on the TV will be HDCP compliant
..so you could check your TV user manual and pick your HDMI input accordingly
Note: There is no firmware upgrade that can turn a non-HDCP input into a HDCP compliant input

If i remember correctly - my Sony Bravia KDL-W4000 only has HDCP in HDMI connection 1
I watch movies on my HDTV through it...both recorded and streaming.
It seems useful to me...otherwise I'd be watching the 100th rerun of that 70's show...no thanks.
I use mine for teaching English classes. Hook it up to a projector for flash cards and such. It's much easier to use for teaching than a computer, since you use your fingers and not a mouse.
A while back i saw a post of someone showing how to set up the HDMI out from this phone to the TV. I cant find it again, was i on the wrong phone? I know DLNA is available wich is ok but i dont have a tv that does that. Id rather be able to hook my phone to the TV and output it. Anyone seen the post or know if it is possible with the thunderbolt?
It was my understanding that the HTC hdmi cable isn't supported by the thunderbolt hardware. There is a dlna adapter which after a quick google is $140+ that has the hdmi output on that. If you have a Xbox 360 or ps3 you have dlna capabilities. I use iMediaShare to connect to my xbox and you get youtube and some other things added.
i just want to be able to hook up my phone to the TV and show a quick youtube video instead of pulling out my notbook. My notebook is big and my hdmi cord is pretty short.
Long time viewer, first time posting.
I'm a science teacher and I use a galaxy note 10.1 (original) to do my lectures and I project the image on the screen with allshare cast. The problem is, our school has old projectors with no HDMI and only XGA resolution. Up until now, I have been using an HDMI --> DVI cable which displays the image clearly. The problem of course is that there is no sound. I don't need sound most of the time, so I've been getting by without it.
However, after reading a few threads on here I found that people had success using allshare with the Cable Matters active HDMI --> VGA with audio cable on amazon. So I picked up one of those. I connected the cable and sound, made sure to power it with the usb cable, and it shows up with just a black screen. No matter what configuration it is in, it just shows a black screen. When I pull the HDMI cable out of allshare and put it into a laptop (acer chromebook), the image displays on the screen fine. So the VGA cable and adapter both work.
Allshare works on the projector with DVI, but not VGA, whereas a laptop works with both on the same projector. Any help?
Does that HDMI-VGA adapter support HDCP? I'm pretty sure there's been a change to the ASCD to require HDCP support on the "display" end.

I did see that, though I'm still on the old LJ02 firmware and furthermore the others I've heard with hdcp issues received a message saying that the device was not hdcp compatible. In my case I cant even see the allshare cast instruction screen (it's black) but I CAN see the dongle on my device and connect.
So in the year of Christ 2022, is there still any sort of way to output video on a Pixel 2?
Story goes so that I have one with a completely busted screen, that does not register anything at all, let alone show anything. Glass broken, touch screen broked. I read there's some sort of a solution, but it requires an app to be downloaded which obviously is impossible in this case.
Is there any solution besides getting this piece of junk fixed?
I was able to use USB adapter to HDMI (not DisplayPort over USB-C alt mode, but older DisplayLink technology over USB 2, plus adapter to USB-C, normally used for adding extra monitors to laptops etc), but it required a DisplayLink app, not sure if it downloaded it automatically or not but I typically install apps from Google App Store remotely, on a PC browser (and select my phone as the target). A mouse should also work with Android but you'll need USB hub, or a bluetooth mouse, so yes in theory it will work but not for DRM content like Netflix, and not sure about booting up, perhaps you can blidnly use external keyboard for PIN or password.
Edit: USB docks for laptops, with HDMI and more USB ports, also use the DisplayLink technology and may be worth a shot
