My Sony Bravia TV device manager does not detect my Nexus 10 but I get a picture with no sound using a 10 feet micro HDMI to HDMI cable from Amazon sold as suitable for the Nexus 10.
I also have a Galaxy Note 3 plugged into a Galaxy Note 2 media dock which is detected by the TV device manager and produces picture and sound.
I wondered if the media dock was producing a stronger signal which the TV needs and thought about buying an HDMI splitter with a built-in amplifier to provide a stronger signal from the Nexus 10.
Has anyone tried using an HDMI splitter with amplifier to get picture and sound on the TV?
Thanks.

I realized some tvs have a usb port for tv out on some cameras and portable media players. My question is would it be possible to use the usb cable to project an image at least on a tv?

There are reports that the Vibrant is compatible with a microUSB to HDMI Out cable.
I can only hope it looks better then the headphone video out. I tried it and it really looks like trash.
I currently have a nexus q hooked up to my tv through the HDMI cable. I have a sound system I want to run the Q through to maximize sound quality. However, despite switching inputs its still coming through the tv speakers. I bought an optical cable thinking if I ran that too it would pick the sound through the receiver. Still no luck and only playing sound through the tv speakers. Suggestions? What am I missing?

I would like to know if someone else gad problems with poor video quality using HDMI on Surface RT
I'm using a adaptor dongle with a conventional HDMI Cable. The cable is a hight quality one, but can't say about the adaptor.
I've bought the adaptor to use Surface RT on my TV, but I'm so frustrated with the poor graphic quality.
Any idea about what is happing ? Tips ? is it normal ?? Any other experience with it ?
Thanks,
Carlos
I'm not familiar with the Surface RT but IIRC it uses a regular microHDMI port so any microHDMI to full size HDMI should work fine. What is this converter you are talking about? If you are converting HDMI to a lower grade video signal like composite then the picture quality is going to suffer since composite is only 480i. Your picture should be fine if you connect HDMI directly to the TV.
Hey, wondering if anyone else is getting varied resolutions when using a micro HDMI -> HDMI cable into a TV. We have a 37" plasma 1080 capable but I only get 480 out of, and our 42" LCD only gets 720.
Both are default numbers as I haven't been able to find anyway to adjust them. Have tried stock video player, MX player and YouTube through all to no avail.
If anyone has any ideas, I'd be most appreciative.
Cheers

You may want to check your hdmi cable. If you have a "standard hdmi cable" , and it supports up to 1080i/720p. The type 2 "high speed data hdmi cable" supports 1080p, 3d and high color. Your tv's and tablet may support it, but you may be using a standard hdmi cable.

I haven't looked, does the n10 support 1080i?... I notice most devices and movies I look at only support "p" areas (480p, 720p and 1080p) relevant since I plan to buy a big screen LED tv with my tax return...
Cheers for the heads up, I've read in other forums that the n10 downscales to 1080, but haven't seen it first hand.
There's a few variables at play, I'll get some specs from the TV's, I haven't seen any different type of cables on eBay else I'd have got the better one (i spent $15 on this one).

I purchased a $10 off of Amazon. Supposedly a HS cable. Real thick and almost 6 feet long.. Nice, but the TV I had planned to use it on, it did not output sound! 2 other sets, and the sou d works fine. I read here that it is a cable/tv combination problem.. Plug in another hdmi and the sound will work fine. Haven't tried it since I hooked it into the stereo via blue tooth.
I am planning to buy a small converter attachment,(pigtail cable or plug) that way I can use the hs hdmi cables I already have on the tv. I am still not convinced that it isn't a problem with android, but we'll see.
Since the Ouya only has Ethernet, AC, USB and HDMI. Will it be possible to connect to a standard TV by RCA connector or by a scart?AV? VGA? Composite?
Hi, so far the Ouya isn't known to produce analog video signals, only digital (via the HDMI out) thus, to use it with a analog tv you would either need a video amplifier (with HDMI in and AV-Out) or a signal convertor.
If you currently don't have one of those then I would suggest buying a HD-TV as the two methods I advised you of would cost at least $100 anyway.
I'm assume you mean composite or component, and RCA stereo audio output. If so, Ouya has only stated HDMI.
As the above said, you would need an digital to analog converter. An amplifier wouldn't help you in this situation. Unfortunately, you'll spend more on the converter than you would the Ouya. Well, maybe you can find an old used FuryHD for $100 to handle video. There are other issues you have to take into account such as will the converter tweak the signal to make sure your TV will accept it is a big one.
I had to go that route when I setup a home theater PC, and my HDTV predated DVI; it only had component HD input, but the HTPC had display port. I got an HDFury2, which just came out, and ran about $250 at the time. That was cheaper than buying a new good quality 55" HDTV.
Hopefully that was helpful.
Thanks for the information guys, look like I will just pick up a cheap Hd TV.
