    Great way to connect your Priv to any TV. Just bought a Slimport cable, and now can view any of the content on phone on my 50 inch TV. Just watched a film on Amazon Prime on the TV with the kids. Awesome!!!!!!

    i connected a slimport adapter to my Android and can output to a smartboard. I was surprised an 18 dollar device lets me do that. Pretty cool you used yours for output to a tv.

    I actually stopped using slimport to view videos on the TV. I just plug it in with a standard usb port and the TV recognizes the phone as a HD. Just play the video through the TVs file manager. My phone screen stays off and gets a charge while watching a movie.

    This is only if you have the video saved on your devices memory. But if you are steaming you cannot do this.

    I personally use my chrome cast for everything and I just mirror my screen to my 55" TV and use Kodi all the time to watch movies!

    So I purchased a slimport adapted from Amazon, it works with my passport, but says unrecognized video format when using with my priv.

    What brand of adapted have others had success with for the priv?

    Thanks for your reply, the brand I purchased is the exact one you had to return lol, looks like I will be returning it as well and then will purchase the one you have had success with.

    I've got that one, too, and it works. I don't recall who I purchased it from but it was not Amazon. By the way, Amazon US has it, too. Oh, out of stock
