As a general rule, HDMI connectors can roughly be broken down like this. full size HDMI - Displays, Set-top boxes (cable, blue-ray, etc), full-size desktops and laptops. mini HDMI - Digital camcorders (there are some other oddball hardware but very rare) micro HDMI - smart phones, tablets, laptops Then if your monitor or TV supports 720p, 1080p, or another CEA standard resolution then things should just work. Note: If you have a B1 XO4 then you will need to cut back the jacket on the micro-hdmi end of the cable so it can plug further into the chassis. Hope that helps. Jon
