Sjoe, Samsung aren't any help, neither are their brand stores so hopefully someone here has advice.

I was given a Samsung PC monitor with HDMI connection and want to play videos/games on it from my Note 10.1 SM-P605.

Samsung list an adapter to HDMI on TVs. Any idea if this will work or do you have another idea?

Chromecast , screen mirror is the best , also can do the same with a roku3 and screen mirror.

no cables and no lag.

Also believe your TV's HDMI ports needs to support MHL for that cable to work.

Thank you nemisiz.

I do cast to the TV with screen mirror and via MXQ. Problem is, the PC monitor's wasted just lying in the box so I wanted to put it to some use.

THANK YOU kind sir! Awesome :)

The monitor has HDMI input and the cable you linked looks perfect.

Cool. Only other thing you need is a 5V USB power source. A normal external USB charger works fine if your Monitor doesn't have a USB port

Thanks again. Will this be OK as a USB charger? It came with my phone.

Also looking at a bluetooth keyboard to use with MQX. Please recommend one so I can make the purchase/shipping fees worthwhile.

Yes, that charger will work fine

Here is a mini bluetooth keyboard that we sell -> https://avsupply.co.za/product_info...-bluetooth-qwerty-keyboard-and-touchpad-p-685

If you happy with a wireless version, the C120 has a keyboard, gyroscopic mouse, and some media navigation keys

Coolio, thanks bio.

Streaming to TV's easy but a great monitor's lying around gathering dust. Looking forward to using it.
