Oh one more thing about mono price, if you give an item a bad review they will contact you and find out why you weren't happy and they offered me a refund but I didn't take it because the cables were so damn inexpensive and with their offer I knew I supported a good company.

Can someone tell me exactly what type of cable I need to connect my PlayBook (which I LOVE by the way - had the 64G since launch). I get confused with the various cables around on the internet - I know it is micro USB to HDMI but what's all this about adapters etc? I am fed up of ordering from shopblackberry.com they never tell you when you order that they are out of stock. And expensive! Am in UK Cheers

I purchased a micro HDMI at Radio Shack (May be a US only store) and it worked fine. I didnt need an adapter. Just plug and play.

So, just a few minutes ago, I discovered the pb does not include the hdmi cable. I had not fully explored the contents boxes and thought the cable packed with the adapter was for hdmi. I only just unwrapped it to find it was yet another micro-usb cable. Sheesh. I guess monoprice, here I come...

I can't believe my eyes

ebay - approx 99p. Works a charm, bloody fantastic! Use it all the time on my TV & took it on hols with us - hooked up PB to hotel TV for full screen films, tv., etc.

PS. A decent micro hdmi to hdmi works fine.

I purchase ALL of my cables for anything from HDMI Cable, Home Theater Accessories, HDMI Products, Cables, Adapters, Video/Audio Switch, Networking, USB, Firewire, Printer Toner, and more!

Monoprice is the best place for all things audio and video!!!!!

bought mine at radio shack, works great and was under 20.00

My first Playbook i purchased was a 32gb bundle that included hdmi. My search for more took me to Amazon.ca......It was $0.05 plus $2.95 shipping. Or you can pay $2.99 with free shipping. It works perfectly.

HDMI to HDMI Type D Micro Cable 1.4, 6 FT / 1.8 M: Amazon.ca: Electronics

In UK - Amazon or eBay - no more than �2 - should be less.

Thanks all - I'm in the UK so no Monoprice or Radio Shack! It was the type of HDMI cable that was confusing....cheers to DC506 for pointing me to HDMI Type D micro.

Newegg for $4 or any one on ebay aslong as the seller has a 100% feedback

It is NOT a micro usb.

It IS a micro hdmi to hdmi cable.

I don't know if monoprice.com ships to the UK.

[BB_Bmore]

bought mine from office depot but my next one will be from amazon. :banghead:

[colinstone]

Specifically it is a HDMI cable Type D male to Type A male.

As others have shown the cable you need is micro HDMI to HDMI.
You can either use a cable, of various lengths, with a male Micro HDMI connector on one end and a male HDMI on the other end

- or -
Use an adapter to go from male Micro HDMI to female HDMI then use a normal male HDMI to male HDMI cable from the adapter to your TV.
or a 6" version

The advantage of using an adapter is; if you carry a regular HDMI cable for a laptop or other device all you have to carry for the Playbook is an adapter rather than another cable.

I use the stubby adapter, plus a 90 degree adapter, then a standard HDMI cable.

I hope this didn't make things even more confusing.

Yup, when I was ordering from monoprice, I decided to throw in orders for a few of those adapters, converters including a bending/pivoting one.

CompUSA here. Though I do need an extension cable. Is nice to watch movies and play a few games (though Turrican is hard due to the toucscreen gamepad) on it, and.. um.. a certain 2011 Motorola phone from Verizon that is retired.

[Ruslan Botsyurko]

Bought mine at eBay, very cheap but works like a charm.

[Ned_Flanders]

I picked mine up (a 6' cable) for just under $4.00 CND from SW-BOX.COM. I was very surprised by the quality considering it came direct from China. If I remember correctly it took about 2 weeks to arrive.
