Can a Galaxy Tab A 8.0 connect to TV via HDMI?

If it had USB-C then yes.

But Micro USB 🤔. I'd say no.

[QUESTION] Is it possible to connect a Android tablet or phone to a monitor or TV using HDMI?
Does the Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 "Lite" 10.4inch support "Samsung DeX" ?... Google results seem to indicate it does. That may be the best option. (go into Settings and search for "Dex") Wait,. sorry,. No. it appears it does not support external Dex: https://www.reddit.com/r/SamsungDex/comments/nlxnu6/questions_about_dex_on_tab_s6_lite/ More on reddit.com

r/GalaxyTab on Reddit: Connecting to TV?
June 13, 2022 -

My apologies if this has been answered before. I did try to search first but this is all a bit confusing to me.

I'm trying to find a tablet that I can connect to my TV. At first I read that I would need something "HDMI alt mode" compatible. Now I'm reading about something called Dex mode and I don't know if that's the same thing or which one I need if they are different. I'm also struggling to determine what device would do what I am wanting.

I'm hoping for something that will mirror whatever content I am playing on the tablet to my TV when connected by a USB - C to HDMI cable. The content would consist of streaming apps (Netflix, Amazon Prime, etc.) and YouTube.

I'm considering a Samsung S7 (or variation of that) or S8 (or variations).

Is it possible to get a device that does what I want? If so, am I on the right track with my choices?
