How to connect a tablet to a TV via usb

A tablet device has a number of advantages. It can be used for surfing the Internet, for games, for playing video files and for working at home. Agree, watching a movie, listening to music on a dimensional screen is more pleasant than on a small one? Therefore, we consider the different versions of connecting the tablet to the TV.

Wired tablet to TV

The wired connection method is very convenient and practical in that the owner will not need to download and recognize auxiliary software. Using a cable, you can connect to those gadgets that do not have Smart TV, and if there is a cord, then you have to choose an interface:

Using the cable method, you can configure and work with media players, DVDs and Blu-ray-players, hard drives.

Important! Before connecting the tablet, it is recommended to start the software update on both devices in order to prevent system errors.

Initially, before connecting, you need to read the instructions, since even one crossed out item from the list can affect the connection. Therefore, to save your nerves, carefully read the instructions and follow exactly on it!

HDMI connection

The simplest connection is via HDMI. In addition, this connection transmits images in Ultra HD quality (up to Ultra HD 8K) and without special settings! Sadly, not all tablets have a connector for it. If it is not, then the problem can be solved by purchasing an adapter with MicroUSB.

For a successful connection, both gadgets need to be connected with a cable (inserting it into the socket) and an adapter. On the smart TV itself, you need to select HDMI - the function as a signal source, and on the tablet - the resolution of the photo.

If you prefer to use the keyboard and mouse, you can connect them. They are convenient for working with documentation or surfing the web.

Connecting the tablet to the TV via usb cable

If there is no HDMI interface in the gadget, then you can not despair and use the usb connection. The advantage of this method is that every trendy TV and device accepts a USB connector.

It will help to watch a movie in 4K format at 25-30 Mb / s, but for high quality it’s still far, because YUSB - the interface is not suitable for broadcasting on a bulky plasma screen high-resolution video files for 20 Mb / s

1. To connect the tablet and the TV, the cable is connected to the corresponding device ports.
2. After that, Smart TV will download the file manager itself and offer to select the desired content for playback.

It is only important to understand that subsequently of these actions, the external monitor will display only the data downloaded into offline storage, and not the entire contents of the device.

Tablet as a USB drive

It is not difficult to connect a tablet with a cable to a USB port. Your plasma will recognize the device as a simple USB flash drive or hard drive. Everything else will open unambiguously as well as on a gadget, only using the remote control. You can open folders, watch photos, listen to music.

Unfortunately, this option is not suitable for everyone. For mobile devices with Android 4.4 and below, this is not possible, since they have this method replaced by MTP. Even if you connected a smartphone or tablet to the TV, the device is not recognized and, of course, will not open, although it will see the contents. But the owners of the Phone is not in danger! Everything will work for them.

Custom tablet use case

The tablet should be used as a media player if both the gadget and the TV accept the new MHL novelty. In order to launch such a project, leading technology corporations, such as:

• LG.
• Samsung
• HTC et al.

MHL technology is a specially designed adapter with USB, which transfers high-quality photographs to the surround TV screen and at the same time infects the tablet at the same time. Synchronization occurs in the usual way: the wires are connected to the connectors, the signal source is configured. The telly will launch the file manager on its own and open the saved documents. The remote control can only select the necessary files and open. If you forgot some action, then you can look at the instructions or carefully consider the marking icons of this device.

The cost of such a device is decent. You can purchase at any hardware store. The advantages of this compound include image cloning. If you include a movie or video, then it will go in the resolution that is on the external device. This is the only negative point. But then, charging will go!

If MHL innovation only accepts a tablet, then combining it with a TV will not happen without an adapter and cord. In it, there is a connector and a socket with which it is more convenient to charge power.

We examined only a few connection options, but there are many more. For example, if the device’s screen is damaged, do not rush to throw it away, you can enjoy watching content from your TV! Just select the appropriate connection option and rejoice at the success!
