Hi,

You don't need an adaptor, the Nexus 10 has a standard micro HDMI port so you just need a micro HDMI to HDMI cable.
OK thanks. I was kinda looking for an adaptor to stop me scrambling behind the TV to plug in a specific cable each time I plugged in the N10. Maybe an HDMI joiner and micro cable would be just as flexible I suppose.
If you're using the same HDMI port on the TV for the Nexus 10 and something else, you could try a HDMI switch box. I don't have a personal recommendation, but I don't think the Nexus 10 should need anything special.
Keep in mind that HDMI switches that are powered by the sending device don't tend to do well with longer cables
As already mentioned, no adapter is needed, just a cable. But why would you think it would or should come with one? I will guess maybe less than 10% of people will EVER connect it to a TV/monitor. And probably less than 1% will do it more than once or twice while owning the device.Quote:

It also doesn't come with a case, a stylus, a screen protector, a car charger, a dock, screen cleaner, headphones, headset, keyboard, joystick, mouse, or an external battery :)
Doesn't matter terribly. How about this one I bought for only $5! [Only registered and activated users can see links. Click Here To Register...]Quote:

I use my Droid4 in the Motorola HD dock to watch movies on my 55" TV at least 3 times per week. The Moto HD dock came with a mini HDMI to HDMI cable. That cable works great with my N10 too. I agree with the other commenters, any brand cable should work fine.
I must be kinda lucky, and the last three android tablets I bought already had an hdmi adaptor in the box.
As to whether it's needed is probably down to personal usage, and myself I am quite into using it with a BT controller + TV as a really portable MAME emulator. As a media streamer its second to none of course as well.
