    I bought a "Manhattan MHL HDTV Cable" to connect my Samsung Galaxy S4 Tablet to my TV.

    This is the one: 2iw1ufs.jpg

    I had gone to the shop looking for a cable to be able to connect my tablet to my telly and that's what the guy suggested.
    Well it doesn't work.
    Does anyone know the name of the cable I need?

    A quick google tells me that Samsung stopped MHL support in their tablet range in 2015, and you might need to look at a wireless solution instead, such as a Chromecast or Miracast. Were you going to use it for Netflix or Youtube? - both of those apps support Chromcast

    Actually now that you mention it, the guy did say something about Chromcast.
    It looks like that's what I need.
    Thanks for that; I'm a bit clueless when it comes to techy things like this :)

    I think it won't be a problem if your tablet got a HDMI Port.
