HDMI Mid7022

I just bought an HDMI cable from newegg and when I try to plug it in to my device it detects it for a second then disconnects. Is there something I am doing wrong?

In Settings>Display, there is an Output Settings that might have to be configured. It is greyed out without an HDMI cable plugged in and I don't have one to test with. You might want to look in this area and see if it helps

I was there the problem is that it says it is not detected and it will detect it for a second before graying out again.

Maybe a bad cable? I have one from amazon (amazon basics brand) and it has worked fine I have hooked it up and watched movies a few times. Make sure display is not set to LCD btw.

Thats the problem I don't know if the cable is bad or the hdmi input on tablet is bad. This is the only device I own with mini hdmi. Also is that setting in the hdmi section.

I just noticed that this cable has ethernet built in. So maybe tablet doesn't support it

My cable has ethernet too but not sure what hdmi version. Make sure TV is powered on and on the hdmi input your cable is in then plug in cable. I get the ring notification then HDMI in notification bar. Doesnt show up if tv is off.

This is the cable I bought looks a little simpler than yours it says that it is backwards compatible.

Amazon.com: AmazonBasics High-Speed Mini-HDMI to HDMI Cable with Ethernet (6.5 Feet/2 Meters): Electronics

I think it might be the backwards compatiblity issue because my tv doesn't support 1.4
Thanks for your help.

I think all 1.4 cables should work on a 1.3 system no matter what. It's simply the higher resolution 4k and ethernet abilities, but are supposed to be compatible in theory. I'll know when I get mine in, as I've ordered a 1.4, hopefully it works!

The only physical difference between an HDMI 1.4 cable and 1.3 is an extra connection for ethernet, everything else in the spec is either higher bandwith (hey cat6 works for 100base right?) or specific to the device rather than the cable

The problem was from the tv not the cable I think the tv has older hdmi ports then 1.3. I bought a hdmi to mini hdmi adapter but it didn't work on the tv either so I tried it on my moniter and it worked fine.

Check the output resolution as well, it might be that the TV doesn't support full HD.
