is this the right cable that I would use in order to download info from my Windows 8 Surface RT tablet and hook up to my TV for viewing??

Yes, but it failed to work when i tried to stream movies off netflix, it worked for a few seconds and then it stopped completely
1764834
yes it is. I purchased it for my surface. However I would recommend that you purchase the adapter that converts mini HDMI in to HDMI via the port and use a stands HDMI to connect the surface to TV or projector.

I use this to connect my Surface RT to my LCD TV BUT it doesn't fit perfectly in the micro HDMI slot of my Surface RT and it take several tries to connect it properly. Bottom line not a perfect cable for this solution...

This is the right cable to use for connecting the Surface RT to an HDTY. When you plug it in to the micro HDMI port of the Surface and the other end to your TV, go to the devices menu, and select "project". I have not had any problems with the cable and you can not beat the price!

Yes that is why i purchased it. You will not be able to view apps but you can open Internet Explorer from the desktop and view it, Netflix and all others ect.

I have used this to connect my Microsoft Surface Pro's Mini DisplayPort to the VGA connector on many projectors and displays and it has always worked perfectly. I'm running Win 8.1. No problems, ever.

I don't own a surface rt, but according to the Microsoft forums, it looks like you might need to buy an adapter from Microsoft in order for it to work. There are Micro, Mini and standard HDMI fittings. It loos like yours is a Micro, not a Mini. I also own that BlueRigger for my tablet to my smart TV, that is the Micro to Standard version. The easier solution for me was the wireless ChromeCast at 35 bucks, also sold by Amazon. You have to use Google's Chrome Browser, which I use on my windows 8 Laptop to stream photos and videos as well.

Yes you can. This cable can be used to sync your tablet with your computer.

That depends on if your tablet is compatible with HDMA "mini" or "micro" and you'll want to look at the specs of the tablet to find out. Many tablets have an HDMI micro port, in which case this isn't the correct cable.

Good article comparing HDMI family to Display Port family. According to article, the HD Digital Video port on the Microsoft Surface RT 2 is really a mini DisplayPort. Article can be found at: http://www.pcworld.com/article/2030669/hdmi-vs-displayport-which-display-interface-reigns-supreme-.html

This works for any device with a Mini DisplayPort output (common on Apple computers, MS Surface (my use), others...) converting that output to HDMI and connect using a standard HDMI cable to the display device. If it doesn't work, I'd request an exchange for a functional one or return as defective. Good luck!

I use this to connect my Asus Transformer Tablet to my tv. If your tablet has a mini HDMI port this will work.

Yes I got it for my surface and I plug the micro HDMI into my surface, and the regular HDMI into my TV.

Yes, I tried it on my mom's surface rt and it worked flawlessly! You might need to get the latest Windows updates to enable reliable compatibility. Cheers!

I use it for the Acer Iconia W700-6691 11.6-Inch 64 GB Tablet which has a micro hdmi, it works fine with it, check if your surface rt tablet has a micro hdmi socket

I used the cabled to reformat tablets that didnt have the OS on them. Not sure if the attaching the cam is going to work though becuase of the drivers you would need to support it. For the price its worth a shot and im sure you could always use the cable for something else later on.

Check with Displaylink, it would be good if they were working on it.I have the W8 tablet from Dell on order; should be possible to support RT but a driver will be required.Bill

I don't know what you mean by a surface pad. If you are meaning a Microsoft Surface Pro tablet, then yes, it should work fine since all you do is plug it into the USB and the Windows 8 OS will recognize it as an optical drive.
