[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.

[Q] Cannot get HDMI out?

Hello all. I've been trying to use the HMDI out on my Transformer, but with no luck. I've tried plugging an HDMI-HDMI mini cable into my HDMI TV, and also using an HDMI-HDMI Mini adaptor on an existing standard HDMI cable, but nothing seems to happen. I get no signal from the HDMI ports on the TV, and I don't get the "HDMI" icon on the transformer toolbar.
This was the cable I tried:
http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B001NXK86Y/ref=oss_product
...and this was the adaptor:
http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B000UJKOW0/ref=oss_product
Does this require some kind of "special" HDMI cable? If so, what should I be looking for?
Thanks for any help chaps!

You don't have a Panasonic TV do you? I remember seeing that there's some problem using those sets..

Ah Yes I do, a Panasonic TX32G10B. It hadn't occured to me that the TV itself might be the problem! I'm seeing various posts on the net about this now, but none that appear to have a fix. Any ideas if anything can be done about this incompatiblity?

I have a Panasonic Viera and have spent an evening with it changing every setting i could find but with no luck at all. I restarted, reconnected about a million times in every combination of sequences there are and some more besides.
Could not get the TV to hook up to the TF.
I bought my HDMI cable at Maplin.
Like yourself if anyone has any suggestions then I'm all ears!

You can try contacting Panasonic to see if there is a software upgrade for the TV which may address the issue.

Done that- i have latest firmware already - the tv has a software update function built in.

I just tried my transformer & HDMI cable on a different TV, and it's worked sucessfully, so I guess it's a compatibility problem between the Transformer and my Panasonic TV. There doesn't appear to be a software update function on my model of TV, so I hope it eventually get addressed on the transformer end!

I've heard others say to try the other HDMI ports on the back of the TV etc also. I know for a fact that all cables dont work either, I had a belkin cable that never worked tried with a phillips cable from sears and boom it worked! weird.

use a 1.4 mini-hdmi to hdmi cable (174cm-5.60$)on my dynex flat tv (720p)
image and sound work without problem out of the box..
link to the cable :

I bought a cheap HDMI to mini HDMI adaptor off ebay. It did not work with my Panasonic TH-P50VT20A (50" 3D Aussie model) I tried plugging it in my reciever and then also 2 other Panasonic plasmas, and a Samsung Plasma. I also tried various cables. I then went and puchased a new adaptor from Jaycar electronics and it works fine. There is a bit of overscan but am pretty sure that is because of a setting on the TV. Some will work others don't but my new Panny Plasma did work with the right adaptor.

[Q] HDMI output very low resolution

Hi,
I've had the shield a while and I have been trying to start using the console mode, however when I use it on my LG 42" TV in the living room as soon as I go into console mode it has loads of graphical errors and this is due to it running at 1920x1082. So I thought I would try it on my Dell 2407WFP which can go up to 1920x1200, I had to purchase a DVI adapter for this to work, it works fine in both console mode and normal mode however the resolution is very low only 640x480, is this caused by HDCP at all? Or is there something else I can do to fix this, its really annoying me now.
Thanks in advance for any help

It's the cinema 3d LED TV, 42LM5800. It ran @ 1920x1080 (1080P) on both my LG and sharp TV. Yet to test my Vizio TV but I'm sure there wont be any problems there either. I'm betting it's probably the cable. I tried an offbrand one on my xbox 360 and it would only work on 720p, and even then the picture didn't look quite right. I switched it out with another cable and it bumped up to 1080, tried using the cheapo again and it wouldnt work at all on my 360 at that point, however it did work just fine on my wife's laptop. I also had a cheapo for my acer a100 tab, and it worked for a couple weeks then just crapped out on me. If you could i would try finding another HDMI cable to use and eliminate the possibility of it being the one you bought.
When you plug in your HDMI cables does your shield recognize it and attempt to switch to console mode?

Sorry for OT guys, but I need to ask and don't want to start a new thread for this sole reason.
I am willing to buy the Shield and use it as an android living room PC, connected via HDMI to a 40" 1080p TV. When I connect the devices, will the Shield output in 1080p a will it basically mirror the screen onto the TV? Because that's what I want - mirroring the device on a 1080p TV.
Thanks

[Q] Samsung MHL 3.0 adapter?

Hello,
Would this MHL 3.0 cable work with my Z3? Also would it work with an older TV (is it backwards compatible)?
http://m.expansys.com/mp.aspx?i=264482

http://www.samsung.com/us/mobile/cell-phones-accessories/EE-HN910FWESTA
I'd imagine it's backward compatible.

Has anyone tried this?
I'm interested if it would work with my Xperia Z2.

This is the one I use and its amazing better colour then my other mhl
http://www.amazon.ca/Fosmon-MicroUSB-Compatible-SkyRocket-Sensation/dp/B005OS9MQQ

I bought the official Sony MHL 2.0 cable and it doesn't work that well. I've tried it on my monitor and on my TV, and the framerate really sucks. I think it might have to do with my displays, not with the cable itself.
