Thanks in advance!

Hi,

I've had the same problem. I've searched almost whole Internet and couldn't find any... Even on chinese stores price of HDMI adapter is huuuuge... I think that it's because of some kind of electronics inside of this adapter... So you have to find discount price or try to find and buy used one from someone...

Best Regards

BTW. I would like to ask present/past users of Samsung tablet. Does anyone have such adapter for sale?

Thanks - what do you think is a reasonable (or realistic!) price?

Best price which I've seen in my country was arount 30 US $

Thanks - and do they all need external power to work? I think the official Samsung one does?

UPDATE: OK, so I picked up the official Samsung HDTV adapter (EPL-3PHPBEGSTD) up for €30 in Madrid in El Corte Ingles. (Also saw it for about £20 from Expansys in the UK)

So this adapter only mirrors the tablet's screen - there is no way to put a movie/slide show on the external screen and browse the web at the same time on the tablet?

Also, when I play a YouTube video it automatically enlarges the video on the TV whilst keeping the YouTube page with a small video (in the corner of the tablet screen). However it looks like you can't browse for another video without losing the one you are playing. It is a shame if you can't treat the TV as a second screen as with a laptop

The way I do it is through DLNA / All Share but it requires a few things. If you have a movie downloaded in the tab, just open the app "all share", select the TV (your TV needs to support DLNA or at least be connected to a router that allows DLNA) and then you can stream the movie to the TV and do other things with the tab.
I don,t think it will work with the slides because all share only works with pictures, music and movies but never tried it.
