it seems that there are two kinds of products

1. micro usb to hdmi

2. slim port adapter.

it seems that people have to get number 2 and regular hdmi cable in order to watch tv from nexus 7. why can't a person simply use the micro usb to hdmi cable, and connect nexus 7 to the tv directly?
 
Because the micro USB port on the N7 doesn't support the new micro HD standard. It has been designed to use the SlimPort standard.
