can I watch my tablet on the tv?

happyhero

Hi, I have a Asus Transformer tablet TF700Tand was wondering if I can watch the films I watch on my tablet on my TV, I thought I heard that it was possible but I don't know much about it, so is it possible?

Do I just need a lead?

If I need a lead what lead would I need?

Am I right in thinking you dont need to pay a lot for leads because they are digital, i.e. zeros and ones, and paying a lot is just a con and makes no difference to picture quality?

Finally would a lead go into a seperate socket to the power socket, i.e. it would be much more awkward if you have to use the same port/socket for obvious reasons, I have other sockets but not sure what they all are at this point?

Any help/advice appreciated.

I believe that tablet has a micro HDMI port, so you'd need a micro HDMI to HDMI lead, that would connect to one of the HDMI ports on the TV (presuming the TV has HDMI ports).

You don't have to pay more than a few pounds for one.
For example - http://www.amazon.co.uk/Premium-Microsoft-Surface-Cameras-Tablets/dp/B008C5WE9K/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&qid=1399766940&sr=8-5&keywords=micro+hdmi
That's a 10 foot one. A shorter one would be even cheaper.

You don't need any leads.... Chromecast . Available in PCWorld or online.

if you go down the chromecast route you will probably need to install plex on your devices to cast movies to tv

Or BubbleUPnP or any one of the casting apps available in the Chromecast store...
It's all built for use with the OP's Android tablet...;)

Micro HDMI will be easiest way

We have a Lenovo Yoga 10 Android tablet

It has a micro USB socket

I saw a Micro USb to HDMI on eBay "for Samsung Galaxy"

I asked if it would work on our Lenovo and the reply was 'no', 'only for Samsung'

Is that right????
