Buy the one from analogix. That is the official one and it does cost $30. It is pricy when compared to regular MHL adaptors, but its worth it if you plan on using it.

I can confirm that the slimport in the link below works perfectly with the new nexus 7, including 1080p video and audio output http://www.amazon.com/SlimPort®-SP1...4962024&sr=8-1&keywords=slimport+hdmi+adapter

Won't a chromecast work? And only 5 more dollars. Sorry if I'm wrong. Its happened many times lol.

[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] Nuckin:
What the cable gets you that the chromecast doesn't is direct streaming of content. chromecast does not currently support file playback through gallery. All direct streaming from the device (not from the internet) is "beta"

So say you want to play an MP4 file, you'd need this
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] LauraSakura:
I can use this to play my droid games on the tv screen then?
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] michaelg1030:
Absolutely. I use slim port with a ps3 controller and six axis app to do just that.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] moz90:
So will you be able to use chromecast at some point for everything?

[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] IamPro:
Probably not but I suspect playing local content from your phone will but added soon but that's just a guess, games prob not due to lag and graphical limitations
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] NyPlaya513:
i debate turning back to wires like this when i do enjoy what my chromecast does while also having hopes for the wireless display option to be 1:1 for all functions :)
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] earlymorninghours:
I didn't even notice the port was not MHL. What nincompoop opted to go with this rather than MHL? Maybe I don't know something I should here, but hasn't MHL been around for a couple years now? And is there anything allegedly superior about slimport that would make it desirable over MHL?

This is just a little disappointing to me because both of my Samsung phones use MHL and at this point my backpack is already the subject of Guantanamo style field stripping every time I fly international.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] IamPro:
Since its Nexus line, Google would follow what they did with the N4. Why don't you just check it?
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] ritzxda:
MyDP (SlimPort) adapters are appearing on eBay for less than $20USD which I think is pretty good value. SlimPort has some clear advantages over MHL (scaling/no need to have charger plugged in etc).

Examples:

[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] Oleschuldad:
Thats because they are shipping direct from China....
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] ritzxda:
Yes and? Sorry not being rude but don't see the point. I just thought I'd let people know they can get them shipped world wide for a pretty good price now. Not all of us live in America. Thanks.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] Oleschuldad:
not busting on you...just clarifying why they are so cheap... kinda like buying from Meritline... cheap prices, just have to wait awhile cuz its shipping from China is all...
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] ritzxda:
Haha no worries. That's true. It will take a long time to arrive. They've just been really hard to get even through Asia so just thought I'd let people know since I came across them. Thanks.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] ch0mch0m:
I'm looking for one too. Even the one on ebay cost around $20 from china. Not counting waiting for over a month for it. Bought more than a few items from china, and only about 50% of them ever work.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] michaelg1030:
Just be careful with the non analogical brand slimport adaptors. People from the N4 were having problems with certain ones. You can check in the N4 accessories thread as there is more information about them there.

I can confirm that the official one works perfect.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] LauraSakura:
Got the 30$ analogix one and tried it out last night.. works great on the new N7!

Does anyone else experience tablet freezes when using SlimPort? I use a noname adapter from Ebay. It works just fine except that from time to time it makes my tablet freeze when connecting or disconnecting the device. When it's connected it works like a charm and I can watch movies for hours.

[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] Obveron:
The 1920x1200 picture is downscaled to 1728x1080. Quality is seriously reduced due to the pixel mismatch. if you have root you can fix this by forcing the Android resolution to 1920x1080. There are many posts on it in this thread.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] bandit_knight:
That I guess requires root. The better option would be if Google provided support for playing videos on a secondary display at native resolution. That option has been available for developers since Android 4.2 I am quite surprised that no one at Google has had an idea to detect external display and play videos on it when it's attached or give users choice whether to use it or not.

Anyway I asked about it on the MX Player proudct forums. Feel free to comment on the post to give the developer better incentive to add this feature.

[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] bandit_knight:
It seems that what I thought was a freezes it really wasn't.

Can you please check the following scenario:

1. Play a movie in a video player when your device is connected to a TV via a slimport adapter. In full screen mode.

2. Pause the video and let the device lock and turn off the screen

3. Try to wake the device up by pressing the power button

In my case it seems to wake it up but it only displays the unlock screen on the TV. The device's screen remains off and the touchscreen does not work. I need to reset it by holding the power button.

Can you reproduce this issue?

Also it seems that even with a power supply connected when using external video output my device continues to discharge. Slowly but still.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] sahilcc7:
I am having the same issue with my adapter. A movie plays and then 10 minutes later it will go blank on the TV.

The seller is only going to refund the adapter if I ship it back and they can reproduce the issue themselves.

Just got the Kanex slimport adapter directly from Kanex -

Works great with my N7 and Samsung TV.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] psychedelicNerd:
I've read the posts in this thread. While quite a few have had success with adapters and analogix, what I wanted to know is can I 'rather should i' buy this for gaming? I want to play games like Dead Trigger, Asphalt, NOVA, MC on big screen. Would this (or any specific model) be worth the purchase? Thanks guys.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] psychedelicNerd:
Also, has anybody connected the MyDP slimport to their Sharp TVs? I have a Sharp Quattron 70" tv. MHL worked on it. But I am not sure if it supports Slimport. Thanks again
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] Obveron:
It works for me for gaming, but I find using the touch controls while looking at the TV is an excercise of frustration. You would want a bluetooth controller for the best experience.

Some have experienced considerable lag, but my analogix adapter isn't adding any noticable lag in my testing.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] psychedelicNerd:
Thanks. I have a Moga Pro Power controller that I intend to use with it. I just placed the order for this MyDP Slimport here:

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00DWGB6CU/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Let's see if it works. A few people have left a review that it works fine with their N7s, so hoping it will work for me too.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] mrdunn:
Just received a Slimport adapter from Kanex, and does not work with any of my tvs-LG or Toshiba. Do I need to do anything to the Nexus 7 or is it just a defective unit? Neither tv even recognizes that the HDMI port is in use. Does the rom matter? I am using SinLess 1.0.2
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] b22ri22an:
how do you get the nexus 7 to output 1920x1080 with the slimport

edit: re read the thread without careless skimming and got my answers, using the appropriate apps now to resize my desktop to match the tv
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] teomor:
Did I get this right? When using a SlimPort adapter you can also keep your tablet charged?
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] mrdunn:
On the weekend I sent an email to Kanex and today, Monday, received this amazing response, it is already in the mail:

Hello Michael,

Thanks for contacting us, we do apologize for the adapter not working.

I will send a replacement out as soon as possible. The replacement will be going out today. I will also send a prepaid label to return the defective one back. I also made sure the replacement is tested before shipping.

Thanks

This thing bloody rocks. I just played an hour of dead trigger 2 in my big ass TV. Highly recommend it.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] psychedelicNerd:
I am bummed by the slow discharge issue. Not that I am playing this thing for hours, but still, it would be good to see the device charge when connected to slimport. Has anyone found a fix yet? Also, would placing on a Qi charger do any good while the slimport is connected. I don't have a wireless charger otherwise I would have experimented.

By the way, i have played Dead Trigger 2 and Need for Speed so far and this setup works just great.

Thanks
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] Joppykid:
I just got this today and it works great with my nexus 7. Shipped pretty quick too. Pretty pissed to find out showtime anytime doesn't support hdmi out. Which is their fault not the slim port. I guess they worry of all those people throwing showtime party's and charging money. Anyways here's the link to the adapter.

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00F09DURG/ref=cfb_at_prodpg
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] psychedelicNerd:
Are you able to charge your Nexus 7 while the slimport is connected? I use the one from Analogix, and when connected to the AC adapter, the unit slowly discharges rather than charging. :(
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] Joppykid:
I think this one may be in the same boat. I have only used it for a short time. I was messing around with the mirror when I was checking it out so I was draining a lot of power, Live wallpaper doesn't help either. . When I watch some shows on it later I'll report back and let you know if it gains power while watching movies/shows
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] Joppykid:
I watched an hour long episode and it was at 99% down from 100 after so didn't drain too bad. I also turned my brightness on my screen all the way down so I think that helped.

Edit* I also used the stock power block that came with the nexus 7 instead of the one that came with the slimport. I read the specs on the cord and the blocks and the one that came with it puts out about 1/3 of the power the Asus one does.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] psychedelicNerd:
That's not too bad. Thanks.

Will any of these Slimports work with a Denon A/V Receiver's HDMI passthru capability?
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] Joppykid:
If it acts the same as a normal HDMI port I don't see why not. It's a newer technology so might be hard to find without just trying it out for yourself.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] k3lcior:
Did anyone used this one: http://www.aliexpress.com/item/New-...timus-Gpro-Fujitsu-Arrows-Tab/1270103017.html ?

Ordered it awhile ago, should be there next week.. from reviews i have read it works fine on Nexus 7 2013, and the price is quite low.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] Cares:
Maybe what you can try is using the Slimport and a Qi charger. Then you'll have like a "docked" remote control in front of you.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] Winudert:
This is standard Chinese SlimPort 1080p adapter, so don't expect too much. I ordered so-so same for little more from eBay, because I don't want to wait 2-3 weeks.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] Joppykid:
I have had mine for a week, been working great but suddenly last night it stopped. Figured out when I had it charging at the same time it wasn't performing as well. It ended up working great while not charging.

I will say the customer service is impeccable with the company I got it from. They had emailed me the first time about giving feedback after I bought it, I wrote back and told them it stopped working. They had an order number and had shipped it within 6 hours no questions asked. Funny too because it ways their out of stock on the amazon page . I said I wanted a new product or a refund. Of course I got it to work right after but hey I'll take a back up.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] :
Hi all, sorry if this has been answered before but...

I have an MHL-optimized port on my Onkyo. Will the Slimport adapter charge WITHOUT needing the Micro-USB plugged in?

I miss MHL specifically for this (I have a passive cable that worked beautifully with my GNex for this exact purpose, didn't have to plug into the wall)
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] Joppykid:
As in charging through the HDMI port in your tv? The only way slimport will charge is by being plugged into the wall as far as I know.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] mrdunn:
Kanex sent me a new one, and it still does not work. Do I need to do anything to by Nexus 7 to make it work, or could the Nexus be defective?

slimport problem after 4.4 upgrade

I have a Nexus 7 (2013) that I've been using a slimport adapter to push streaming video to my Samsung smart TV via HDMI cable. When I was running 4.3, everything worked flawlessly. When it updated to 4.4, the playback becomes choppy as soon as the adapter is plugged in. The stream is unwatchable at that point. Has anyone else experienced this and does anyone know a fix?

android tv stick + widi+ bubbleupnp= best result

get a cheap android stick like the mk808b or tronsmart t908 and u have better way and choices mirroring all contents for almost the same price like the slimport. and that without cables. the micro usb port of n7 can be broken very fast.

Same issue here. I bought a slimport from amazon for lg g2, and the slimport adapter only worked with some HDTVs but not the old 1080p Samsung TV made a few years ago. Must be the HDMI port compatibility problem.

I was able to get the same TV display the screen of a moto photon phone just using a microHDMI to HDMI cable.

I tried the cable matters slimport and it did not work for me though some reviewers had success and some did not.

In the end I plugged in the charger also and that finally got it to work properly. After verifying it was going to continue working I unplugged the charger with no issues.

Didn't do anything when I plugged it in to my N5, but I can live with that because I had no intention of using it with my phone anyway.

So it looks like cheap cable have more problem and the good one like Analogix cost $50. And... The TV must support SlimPort.

Why did Google change this? Not only I have to buy new cable, but my Samsung TV is old and won't work with Slim Port, though it works with MHL.

Google stuff is getting more and more expensive. Just look at the official N7 case.. $50!? That thing look hell as cheap (Best But sells one)

Hdmi 1.4 tv

One thing that still hasn't been discussed and that may be the reason why there are so many different expierences with slimport adapters, is that

televisions older than 2009 does not support HDMI 1.4.

I think in my case that's the reason why my adaptor (Fosmon), which only supports HDMI 1.4, does not work well on my TV Samsung 2033HD.

$15.95 from amazon .com or $18.99 w/ 6ft HDMI cable.

5/5 recommend to anyone looking for full mirroring capability.

lol, I bought 2 for $9 each (one on Buy it Now and the other one I bid for it) and sell the other one for 11€, because it's much more expensive here in Slovakia (I still could sell it for more, it costs for about 20€ here, but I'm satisfied with 4€ profit, too) :D

But it's a shame that you cannot use OTG when slimport is connected, it would be definitely great
