How to connect Android tablet to tv

[Deleted User]

I bought a £2 cable to connect my camera to my TV. I've got all manner of chromecast/Apple TV and now i just bought a wifi SD card.. but the cable wins for simplicity and speed of use.

Nicely, my TV recognises the camera and lets me use my TV controls to navigate the photos - i was quite surprised since they're not the same brand

There's no HDMI so its Chromecast or nothing.

If your TV has a USB port for displaying media from a pen-drive (rather than just software updates) you might be able to just use the tablet as a large external drive

Hey Uniscots97,

I've done a little research and it seems that the iRulu 7 inch does have a mini HDMI port. The specs (720p, 800*480, CPU) certainly suggest it would support HDMI.

What you need as a HDMI - MiniHDMI cable (not microHDMI)

I've got a Chromecast and although I love it, it's still a little laggy and slow with some movies (directly streamed from web) but for photos, it's perfect.

A HDMI cable will set you back a few quid. Well worth the investment as you can take it travelling with you. Plug into hotel TVs and watch films etc.
