[Q] Media Dock mHDMI Connected to HDMI>DVI Cable = No Output on Monitor?

---

Really two questions:

1. Is there a way to adjust resolution or over/underscan on the HDMI output of the tablet? When I have the tablet connected to my TV, there is about 1-2" of black border around the mirrored image.

2. I am trying to output to a LCD Monitor, mHDMI>HDMI adapter to HDMI>DVI cable connected to my Monitor, but the Monitor does display any image - not even a "out of display range" error. The monitor will briefly turn on, then dispaly "no signal." Both adapter and cable work independently of each other when attached to my TV. Is this a problem with the tablet, cable configuration, or my monitor?

Is there anything I can do to check/adjust the signal out from the Tablet? I am using the OG Samsung Dock w/HDMI out. Please let me know if I can provide any additional information.

[Edit] Currently running Tasks 14 Full Rom with Pershoot's latest kernel. And I have the WiFi only version.

same issue

I have a samsung galaxy 10.1 tab in the office and I am trying to do HDMI mirroring. I do not have a dock but I have HDTV Adapter. I do not have a HDMI monitor at office. So, I used a HDMI to DVI converter. When connected, nothing happens. no errors on the monitor just like you said.

So, does it require a TV/Monitor which has a HDMI input?
Or does it simply require a media dock?

[Edit] Does HDMI mirroring requires rooting?

Any help is appreciated.
Thanks

I would assume HDMI mirroring is built-in, as they sell addons for HDMI output. Semi glad to see someone else has the problem... but now its two of us with the same problem lol. Later this week I'm going to try an ICS build, see if there is any difference.

Well, I was glad I was not the only one with this problem

I did some Googling, search Android HDMI to VGA. Should turn up some links exposing the issue. Basically, android cannot natively do VGA. Need a HDMI to VGA converter, possibly powered, but there isn't much information. Dealextreme sells one for $38... and it may not work.

Sucks, seems like a decades old standard would be something engineers would think to maintain compatibility with.

At this point of time, I am giving up and tell my boss to buy a new tablet. This is my office one.

I have Coby Kyros - bought it for cheapness. Will try rooting that.

mHDMI Connected to HDMI>DVI Cable = No Output on Monitor?

I have exactly the same problem with my XOOM and my Samsung T220 DVI-D monitor

I note that noboby has actually answered the questions posed by the previous posters.

Is that because no one knows??

The HDMI and the DVI-D signals are both fully digital and according to info I read on the web are pretty compatible.

I have aslo seen implied that a 5V signal which the DVI-D requires is maybe not available on the HDMI output.

How about some of you clever tech guys on the forums letting us less well gifted folks know if this is really a no-no and maybe why this is the case.

Thanks in advance for your help

Sorry folks have posted this in the wrong place ooops
