Question

Which adapter do I need?

Jun 14, 2015 12:26PM PDT

I have a Samsung Android Tablet 4.4.2 and I need a 'micro usb to HDMI' adapter, so I can connect the tablet to a big screen tv. What do I need? Where do I purchase it? I live in a rural area, so looking to purchase online.
Thank you!

Never found such a thing.

I've seen micro/mini HDMI to full size HDMI but never USB to HDMI cables.

I would have looked at the tablet in question but when I did I found 5 models. Supply the full model number so we can check your model.

Thank you, Bob. The model # is SM-T53ONU
I was told today at Staples (where I purchased the tablet) that there definitely is an adapter, and it only works on Samsung. There are universal type adapters, but they only work on other brands.
I can wait till Monday and contact Samsung directly, I simply got excited and wanted to find it today. I thought this was a simple question.... Wink
