Hdmi connection

Options
I have a hdmi tv connector that I used for my Hudl 2 which has now died.
Can I connect a Lenovo tablet to my TV in a similar way. Is there something that I can p!ug into the usb hole that I can connect to the hdmi cable

Than you

    I need something that fits in the charger hole on the tablet. The other end is usb that goes into the plug for charging, but its the standard little hole that is for most android phones and tablets. I dont know what it is called.
    That would be what i need for the laptop so get one of those too.
    Thank you. Sorry i am being a bit vague

    I very much doubt the tablet can carry video over micro USB, but you never know, so post the model number and we can check the spec. My old lenovo had a micro HDMI out but my newer Asus didn't, as most newer tablets can cast their screens wirelessly to a smart TV or normal TV with a dongle like a chromecast or fire TV stick.

    so much easier (& less damage to ports) to play wirelessly. as said above you will need a chromecast (£20ish) if your tv is not wireless + google home app

    The Hudl ran out of charge and I put it on to charge and it never switched back on. My husband was hoping it would die soon cos he wanted a bigger screen tablet. In have taken to my local computer shop to have a look at. Hubby couldn't wait and went out and bought the Lenovo tab 3. He says if Hudl is definitely dead I can get a new tablet too. I liked the Hudl as it fit in my handbag.
    It was handy when we went on holiday for us as I could plug it into any TV in hotel with the hdmi cable.

    I think this job really needs
    a much bigger hammer.

    I suppose i just need to find out why the hudl died. I have to confess that it is heavy with apps so hopefully i havent overloaded it. It depends if hudl parts are available.

    Good grief! Is that a £15 USB video card?! If it works, that's incredible! Modern technology just blows my mind these days...
