How to make it work with the TV ?

[FF22]

Plug the cable into the pb and tv. Then using the GEAR WHEEL (Options) find the HDMI setting and tweak that so the picture and sound (not all sounds - some games don't) goes to the tv. You may have to switch the Input settings on your tv.

provided u have a tv with HD capabilities..... buy a cable from amazon, comes very cheap, make sure u get the right one.... hook it between ur PB and the HDTV and the rest as F2 mentioned above in his post.....

To be clear, you need either a Micro-HDMI to HDMI cable, or a normal HDMI cable and a Micro-HDMI to HDMI Adapter.

Then follow the advice above...

I am also looking for one of this. I searched amazon and saw a few retailer claimed that it will work on PB, however, a few users review said it doesn't.

So, please recommend a working HDMI cable/adapter for PB

Monoprice.com has cables. I've purchased 3 and they all worked. Cheap prices.

You can try locally if desperate and return them if they don't work.

Definitely recommend Monoprice. Local stores want far more money for inferior cables. Don't buy into the hype on a premium HDMI cable, it's a digital signal, cable has absolutely no effect on picture quality.

As with the last two said, check out Monoprice. They have both the adapter and the straight micro-HDMI to HDMI cable. Getting mine next week.

They have a decently rated Micro HDMI cable on Amazon for $3.35 shipped.

well amazon has several cables, i just ordered one that was high rated for .52 cents. if it doesn't work then losing 52 cents won't hurt that much.

by the way, the shipping cost more than the cable itself so i bought a car charger, screen protector, and leather kickstand case, all for around 15 bucks with shipping.

Get the one with the ferrite core from Monopeice, cheaper too.

on the playbook, is the 3rd plug the hdmi port?

[neoflasher]

I would also recommend monoprice and would recommend getting a long one so you can basically use ur playbook as a wired remote.

[thisissun]

if you were to have a 52" TV and using the playbook to hdmi to the pc, and play a video will it disply the to the whole tv or...?

It will work, but you should be aware that only HDMI High Speed cables are guaranteed to support 1080p. If you buy a Standard Speed cable you're only guaranteed 1080i.

That's not to say it won't work, High Speed certification requires the cable support all the way to 4K. So there is some room to not be High Speed and still support 1080p. Just be aware you're taking a gamble with a Standard Speed cable, and you might get (very slightly) less than full quality.
