Is there any way to get a mini-HDMI-to-HDMI dongle from Samsung (sold separately)? If not, which dongle is recommended for high-end TV display?

Hello martin. I bought from amazon which costed me 1 dollar (it's from China ofcourse and it will take 2-3 weeks to arrive to US). I am currently using this to my 50 inch 1080p TV. I am not sure how high end TV this will work for , but that dongle works just fine. In addition , that 1 dollar thing need to be trimed on the left side for easier USB plug.

Any adapter should work. No need to pay a premium to Samsung. What you're looking for is micro-HDMI to HDMI though, not mini-HDMI. Using that to search should make it easy to find a good selection of adapters and cables.

Nop, it has mini-hdmi output, you need to buy a cable that has une side minihdmi and the other hdmi and you are done.

Please excuse my ignorance, but could someone tell me what HDMI out actually allows you to do? I'm guessing hook up your netbook to an external monitor/tv for alternate display? I'm I correct? Thanks!

There is only one mini-usb port, it's not for media exchange. Unless you can connect via Bluetooth there is no way to connect to a television. There is no HDMI connection and the mini-usb is not for data transfer. It does have Bluetooth if your device is Bluetooth compatible.

Thanks for your reply. It happens to us when we go from non HD to HD and from HD to HD. Very annoying. We've dropped back to using the component cables, but I sure would like to use the HDMI. I was hesitant about complaining to Samsung, since our cable is so sketchy, but now I think I will.

I'm using mine on a PC, and although the product description now says "SamSung WIS12ABGNX" (I don't recall if it did when I bought it), there may be more to using it on a TV mere hardware compatibility. There can be driver issues. A quick google finds this site talking about using non-samsung adapters on samsung tvs. http://wiki.samygo.tv/index.php5/Using_NoN-Samsung_USB_WiFi_dongles_with_TV So it's probably a crap shoot on whether its plug-and-play. Do you feel lucky?

Yes, the HDMI port works fine. The only problem most people are reporting with the HDMI functionality is that the driver, as shipped, does not allow the tablet display to be duplicated on the monitor/TV; you can only select "extend" mode or just the monitor/TV screen. A newer driver, available from the Toshiba support site, fixes that. Perhaps you have a defective cable?

I have one. The only cable required is HDMI. Samsung's web page say an HDMI comes with it. I didn't remember getting one or not because already I have so many.

"Display port" mini or otherwise is NOT natively compatible with HDMI. You would need an external adapter. Search on amazon for mini displayport to HDMI and you should find what you need. Good luck.

I'm sorry, I've only tried HDMI, but that works fine. Can you try that connection, just to your tv temporarily to verify everything is working?

To be honest I no longer have the monitor. I had too many problems with it and the company so replaced it with a Samsung and eliminated the frustrations. I cannot not imagine it not having a HDMI port! How else do you connect? Mine had to have had one to connect the monitor to the computer. I will never purchase another Acer product and have passed my experience on to everyone that I know. It was a waste of money. I have talked with others who have experienced the same problems. My advise would be to see if you can recoup your money and purchase another brand. The company isn't easy to deal with so good luck. To be honest I no longer have the monitor.

I couldn't get mine to connect either. I purchased the HDMI adapter and it worked fine. I can only assume that the cable has a problem. Too bad because I really wanted the longer cable.

yeah, i got myself a $5 HDMI cable on amazon too, it works greatbut i will give you a short comparison between component and HDMIcomponent: transmits 480i, 480p, 720p, 1080i signals (no 1080p), and videos only - no audio. and it does not support up-converted SD-DVD content, so SD-DVD can only be outputed as 480p maxHDMI: transmits both audio and video in 480i, 480p, 720p, 1080i, 1080p, 1080p/24. it supports up-converted SD-DVD video (and trust me it actually does look better). in all the above output format. so go for HDMI. it is also the future connection, in about a decade (very possibly a lot shorter) all connections will be in HDMI, or a more advanced connection. yeah, i got myself a $5 HDMI cable on amazon too, it works greatbut i will give you a short comparison between component and HDMIcomponent: transmits 480i, 480p, 720p, 1080i signals (no 1080p), and videos only - no audio. and it does not support up-converted SD-DVD content, so SD-DVD can only be outputed as 480p maxHDMI: transmits both audio and video in 480i, 480p, 720p, 1080i, 1080p, 1080p/24. it supports up-converted SD-DVD video (and trust me it actually does look better). in all the above output format. so go for HDMI. it is also the... » Read More yeah, i got myself a $5 HDMI cable on amazon too, it works greatbut i will give you a short comparison between component and HDMIcomponent: transmits 480i, 480p, 720p, 1080i signals (no 1080p), and videos only - no audio. and it does not support up-converted SD-DVD content, so SD-DVD can only be outputed as 480p maxHDMI: transmits both audio and video in 480i, 480p, 720p, 1080i, 1080p, 1080p/24. it supports up-converted SD-DVD video (and trust me it actually does look better). in all the above output format. so go for HDMI. it is also the future connection, in about a decade (very possibly a lot shorter) all connections will be in HDMI, or a more advanced connection. « Show Less

I've hooked up HDMI to my 61" samsung (not led model) and it is full 1080p coming from my xbox 360. I heard its rare for a tv to accept 1080p signal from component but not impossible. HDMI is 1080p for sure though.

I want to but the LN46A630 and want to ensure that I get the correct HDMI cable that will support 120 HZ, etc. So what exact product should I get? When folks reply, please give the model # so I know what to get. Thanks!
