Can anyone confirm this?

Can you explain how you are using that? From the Asus webpage, it looks like it is female vga, but the connection on my monitor is also female. Do you have another adapter in between the cable and the monitor then?
Also, where did you purchase that? I could find it in the Asus product listing but not in their store.

You don't really need to buy from ASUS just look on ebay or amazon for a micro hdmi to vga male

Your normal vga kabel is male and can by connected.
if your using a 2e vga connect on your monitor you need a extra standard vga kabel

There is an official HDMI to VGA adapter from Asus
However, I was wondering if third party adapters could work. I found one from dealextreme that is male-mini-HDMI-to-male-VGA adapter.
If Transformer supports analogue VGA signal via HDMI port, then I think it should work. If the official adapter has some additional D/A converter built-in (which I think is unlikely), then only the official cable will work.
Has anyone tried?
Could you please give us a pointer of the official HDMI to VGA from Asus?

It's not released yet.
Generic ones should work fine. But be prepared for some long chains. e.g. mini to regular HDMI, HDMI to DVI, DVI to VGA.

it really depends on the tablet, since HDMI is digital and VGA and DVI is analog, so it depends if the tablet actually gives a analog signal or not
if it doesn't you're gonna need a DAC to use VGA =/
Tried it?
Has anyone tried a mini hdmi to vga cable? If so please can they confirm.

Second here...tried it...not working
Ya it doesn't work for me too.
I suspect ASUS mapped the pins differently from the HDMI pins to the VGA pins. If ASUS can make the HDMI-to-VGA adapter work, that means the Transformer can already support analogue signal output from the HDMI port. Or else they would need a bigger adapter to do D/A conversion outside the tablet. If so, then once someone got hold of the mapping, it would be easy to mass produce a HDMI-to-VGA cable for the tablet.
FOTA Update?
If you have had the FOTA ASUS update and have a mini HDMI to VGA adapter please can you test. Looks like this update added support for the new Asus accessories, of which is the Asus VGA adapter.
I use the HP HDMI->VGA adapter and it works just fine. I need to use an adapter to convert to MiniHDMI.

you have that working on your transformer?
could you post a link to the exact model?
Working too here.

But, the official one is about 25$, and need no adapter. Soo if you dont have hurry, you may wait for it.
Beware that normal cable adapters may not work, since a digital - analogical convertion is needed.

Yes! The offical asus conveter is very similar, but already have the mini hdmi, but the adapter is small. Noticed that it may not be easy to found this adapter ina a retail store, I forgot to buy it online when I buyed the hdmi to vga converter. (Note: I saw some converter, with external power adapters, but this is clean, small and works!)

What. Digital Visual Interface, what's analog about it? DVI-I does analog too, but it's still a digital connection that can do analog. If the video card supports HDMI encryption with a cheap adapter DVI can even send HDMI signals.

Monoprice sells mini HDMI to HDMI adapters for $2 + s/h. It'll work with the HP HDMI to VGA converter. If there's some distance between the monitor and the tablet, Monoprice also sells mini HDMI to HDMI cables, up to 15 feet long. The 15 ft cable is about $5 + s/h.

This same adapter cost like 15 bucks in my country (Panama), it sucks!
Sorry if this has been answered somewhere else...
Fortunately, Asus makes a micro-HDMI-to-VGA adapter cable for the TP:
http://www.asus.com/Peripherals_Accessories/Eee_Pad_Accessories/Micro_HDMI_to_VGA_cable/
So, is this *included* with the TP? I would hope so, but...
If it *isn't* included (!), where can it be purchased? I have seen no listings at all (yet) online anywhere.
As of right now they basically have no accessories for it out and no it is not included but I belive it is the same one as the Tf101 adapter...? Or the slider... Just search for eee pad hdmi-vga adapter
Sent from my PC36100 using Tapatalk
The only thing I have read so far is to be careful about purchasing the *wrong* adapter i.e. apparently the TF101 uses a 'mini-HDMI' port, whereas the TF201 uses a 'micro-HDMI' port.
Unfortunately, I seldom see companies supplying adaptors in the box with the device - they make more money selling it separately plus, this is a very uncommon cable. Vga is used much less often than hdmi...if ANYTHING maybe just a micro hdmi cable.

Ultimate Transformer PRIME TF201 Accessory Guide
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1377669
I am looking to create a setup where i have a monitor ready to be connected to the prime with a bluetooth mouse and keyboard all the time.
I want a dock that i can just pop in the prime that would hook it up to the charger and the TV.
something similar to this: http://www.amazon.com/Samsung-7-Sla...?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1329147330&sr=1-14
if there isn't a dock made for the prime.. is there any kinda of holding station that would be best for this?
thanks for the help.
Dock
They only have the keyboard dock.

hmm .. would i be able to shut the dock and use the outputs to the TV? since i want to use a bluetooth keboard and mouse..
i don't want to have to have it opened on my desk why i am on the monitor with the mouse and keyboard?
also i was hoping to defer the 150 for the dock and buy a nice monitor for this setup. since the only time i would want a keyboard would be at my desk at home, why not have a bigger screen.
The tablet has Bluetooth and MicroHDMI, so you may be over engineering things.

correct.. but i'd also like to charge the tablet while i am using it on the monitor..
there i would need to hook up hdmi and the charger each time i connect. would be easier to have a dock always on the desk top that i just slide the tab into that does all those things.
To answer your question, no such thing exists.
Because of the locations of charging port and microHDMI port(different sides) that would have to be a pretty complicated dock. Your best bet is to either make something yourself or just deal with plugging in 2 cables. Personally I'd go with the latter.

Which means life would be easier to just hook up your tablet to a stand that leaves room for the charging cable and MicroHDMI.
At home, I use a goose-necked claw mount that is vice screwed to the cublet by my bed, and could just as easily transfer that to my desk. You might have more trouble than I would, with regard to room for keyboard, tablet, and monitor. Having the dock, I could even use my mount while docked in fact.

Since the VGA adapter for the TF201 is no where to be found, I was wondering if anyone has used this adapter with their Prime.

I believe it is for the TF101. I just wanted to make sure it would work before I order it.
I appreciate any feedback!

Nope. The prime has Micro-HDMI, not Mini.

Thanks for the reply! I realize I would have to get a mini to micro hdmi adapter, but I was wondering if it would work with the right adapter. I have read that some folks have had success with an HP hdmi-Vga adapter, so I thought the tf101 adapter might work for the Prime.
One thing to consider, depending on what you are using the vga for, is screen resolution. Most lcd projectors are in xga format (1024x768), but the Prime has either 720 or 1080p output. If you don't have something to scale the resolution, it probably won't work well.

My wife needs to show a PowerPoint Presentation on our Prime. I have Smart Office 2 which shows the PP but what adapter/cable do I need for her to attach the Prime to a Projector to show this PP to a Group? I guess I need to find out what type of Attachment the Projector has for input.
Thanks
This might sound like a lot of adapters but this is what i do (if its uses dvi)
Micro hdmi male to hdmi female-> hdmi cable -> hdmi female to dvi male (you need to figure out what type dvi it is just google it)
Then for sound just a double sided male 3.5mm cable
On eBay you can get everything pretty cheap (around 7 bucks) if you dont mind waiting
Edit: i think asus sells something that converts micro hdmi to vga

Thanks for info. I had a HDMI to DVI cable so I Ordered a Micro HDMI to HDMI Cable and also a Female to Female HDMI adapter. If I am think correctly this would give me a way to Attach to Prime to a Projector if it has a HDMI or a DVI input. I might need to get VGA adapter but I am hoping this is a Newer Projector she will be using so it will have HDMI or DVI.
ASUS Eee Pad Transformer Prime TF201 - Micro HDMI to VGA Adapter @ Ebay
With a micro hdmi to hdmi cable, you will just need the female hdmi to dvi cable. Only need a standard hdmi cable if you're using a micro hdmi to hdmi adaptor.
Cullenmq1, you can go from 3 accessories to 2 by replacing your micro hdmi to hdmi adaptor with a micro hdmi to hdmi cable. Just saying....
I bought a 15ft micro hdmi to hdmi cable on ebay for $10. I already had a 6ft version of that cable left over from my Evo 4G (as my Evo 3D uses a MHL adaptor for hdmi output) but wanted one that was longer to use with Prime.

I knew the minute I hit Buy that I had screwed up. I received my Cable today I had indeed ordered a "Mini" not "Micro" HDMI to HDMI cable. I have ordered the Correct one now. I will just keep the other one because I only paid $3.99 for it and it cost me a few dollars to return it....
