slimport adapters..
« on: September 02, 2013, 10:51:53 AM »
Just bought a nexus 7 2nd gen and looking to get a slimport adapter to hook up to my tv. Did a search on the web and amazon and found a few. Most had mixed reviews with the slimport brand being the "best". Any opinions on what the best one out there is

No doubt Slimport is the leader. Some others work on other Androids.
Google Slimport alternative
Find this:

Have not tried any. Please tell what you find. Too much reading for me.

Seems the only alternative to slimport type technology is something calles miracast. Seems in early development so not a lot of info on it.  I guess its Slimport. Just have to roll the dice and hope i get lucky and get one of the working ones. All ill be using it for is the occasional movie played off a thumbdrive on my 7. Not much of a gamer
