Re-visiting this because I didn't get a definitive answer on HDMI to DVI output on all the other post. I have used the Samsung HDMI adapter to watch Netfix, movies on device, and anything on the device on an HDMI monitor and a HD TV and it works great with no problems. Has anyone successfully used a HDMI to DVI cable, with this device? I have an Optima Projector with VGA and DVI inputs. I have tried an expensive $60 HDMI to DVI cabe and a generic $15 one and niether works when attached to the Samsung HDMI adapter. I'm just getting a "No Source Found" message on the projector. Any help is appreciated.
Hmm,
HDMI is a digital only standard. DVI is both digital and analog (has pins for both). A HDMI to DVI cable converts to the digital DVI standard. If your projector does not see the signal, I suspect it is hard wired for analog DVI. To connect to such a device you will need an active converter box that converts the digital HDMI to analog DVI or VGA.

I have also tried using an HDMI to DVI adapter with my LCD monitor that I normally use with my laptop, doesn't work. I think somehow the adapter prevents the HDMI out thing from realizing that there's something connected on the other side. Interestingly enough, HDMI to VGA adapters do work, I imagine because it's an active adapter that puts a load on the output so the tablet knows to output a signal.

Does anyone have any suggestions for a HDMI to VGA converter to use with the Xoom? Every so often I'll invite over a few people and play movies in the backyard. I've been using a laptop and projector, but after getting the Xoom I've been thinking about getting rid of that laptop.
Related question. Are there any HDMI/VGA converters that split off the audio? Should I even bother with that or just plug speakers into the headphone jack?
Kramer Electronic has 1, a VP-422
is it not possible to convert to vga without digital scalers ?
Not without a transcoder. VGA is analog, HDMI is digitial, they send a completely different kind of signal. DVI-D and HDMI are the same however (aside from the lack of audio, of course), so if your monitor or TV has DVI-D, then you can just get an adapter on eBay or monoprice for a couple bucks.
from what i've read micro hdmi doesnt have the right pins for a DVI connection.

Perhaps that's why it didn't work for me when I tried... I just ended up buying a different monitor with HDMI.
Xoom does not have the required +5V out that is needed for DVI. That's why it won't work.

Hey
i own an Philips LCD TV tha only have an DVI Input with 3,5mm Audio Input.
i want to connect my XOOM via HDMI to it to watch videos from my XOOM on my TV.
all i know is that HDMI support Audio+Video^
so i would say, i need an Adapter with HDMI (Male) on one site and DVI + 3,5mm Audio (both Male) on the other Side.
is there an Adapter like this ?
micro HDMI lacks the required pins for the DVI conversion.
the xoom does not put out the +5v on pin 14 required for dvi to work.

But it should be work with the XOOM HD Dock, or not? Cuz that Dock has an Powersuply and the Normal HDMI Port.
Hi, im looking to buy a samsung mhl adapter however my tv only has rca connect, if i buy a hdmi to rca cable will the video still display on my tv.. i.e hdmi goes into mhl adapter and rca goes into tv... Thankyou
No, it wont work..if its just a simple adapter. Via HDMI or DVI... you get a digital signal. RCA or VGA...ect. you get a analog signal. It's not compatible to each other, except you connect a hdmi/rca converter between the two cables. Simple adapter from china just won't work..
You need a converter -- HDMI is a digital signal, whereas composite video (the single yellow RCA cable) or component video (red/green/blue RCA cables) are analog.
Something like this one from Monoprice will do the trick. eBay and Amazon also carry devices like this, in the same price range.
Thanks alot guys i will be buying a converter...
Hopefully you're aware that the video quality from composite will be quite poor.
Presumably if your TV doesn't have HDMI or VGA connectors then it's probably still a CRT screen?
Im starting to think MHL to DVI just doesn't work. Cant find anyone saying "works great and I have DVI setup."
If you have MHL setup working with DVI please list the parts you are using. My monitor does not have hdmi
Also interested in this.
pretty annoyed at my findings. It does not work properly on my dell at work, but works 100% on my samsung at home. So annoyed because I bought this for use at work.

If the monitor supports HDCP then it will most likely work in my experience. I have several monitors and only the ones that support HDCP seem to work.
The mighty Google found this for me:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DVI-D#DVI_and_HDMI_compatibility
Have you disabled HDCP checking in developer options? I'll see if I can can scrounge a DVI adapter and look for a monitor w/o HDMI this week.
ice cream sandwich does not appear to have hdcp checking in developer options. After doing some research I found a screen shot with hdcp checking as an option as seen here: https://plus.google.com/113348736951055038973/posts/jmzdNRkNZnR
However, on the verizon google nexus phone, this option is missing.
Also my monitor is a dell p2011h and connects by DVI-D (HDCP) if that means anything to someone
HDMI to Displayport?
Before I go through another round of adapter and cable returns thought I'd ask: has anyone tried the MHL to HDMI adapter with a HDMI to Displayport cable?
Sorry for bumping this, but I couldn't find any solution.
I'm trying to connect my device to my AOC screen with an original Samsung MHL adapter and HDMI to DVI adapter and DVI cable and it doesn't work.
The HDMI to DVI adapter + DVI cable work with my laptop, and the MHL cable works with a TV with HDMI cable. But phone to pc doesn't work.
Is there any solution other than replacing the screen?
Hey quick question, i wanna connect my phone to a lcd computer monitor i have, I already have the samsung hdmi out cable and was thinking of getting a dvi to hdmi cable since the monitor doesnt support hdmi. My problem is that dvi doesnt support audio. so, are there any cheap dvi to hdmi cables that have an audio out? or is there some way of letting the phone output video over hdmi and sending the audio through the headphone slot like normal?
