HDMI Cable

Hi Guys,
How fussy are Scroll tablets on the HDMI cables?

My Excel/Astro has a mini slot on the base, and this cable on ebay is circa £2.50 (mini to normal HDMI).

Worth noting it supports 1.4 so will carry the 3D signal (if I had a 3DTV lol)

Worth a punt me thinks...comments?

Niiiiice! But only 1.3, so no 3D signal :(

Than again, I don't have a 3D TV haha

I assume with the tablets, its simple plug n play.. mirrors the screen to the TV?

Mod edit : sory mikenseli I was trying to answer this and accidently typed in here whoops

Oooh really? I wonder if my 1.3 amp will pass a 3d signal then. That's why I haven't gone for a 3d TV yet. Got a ps3 so that handles 3d. Hmmmm

Back on topic...thanks for hint on cable!

TBH 3d no content yet! i wanted the 2d panel but could not get one. one dealer had one lost in transit i gave up on him paid the £300 extra for the 3d just cos i wanted this panel, two days later the dealer called me saying he had got it back too late for me . the golf is good in 3d you can read the greens

Just realised you're quite local (I'm in Bedfordshire).

These are not 3d tablets though are they. They can just pass 3d..content right?

right if you have 3d content on a card it will output full 1080p 3d to a suitable tv but you wont see 3d on the tablets screen
