IS the HDMI cord needed to just use it as a docking station?

Vague question, If you use it for charging only, then you only need the charger, if you use it to mirror your screen to another device such as a TV, then you will need the HDMI cable.

No, HDMI cord is needed to connect Motorola device to your television or monitor for watching movie or playing video games.

As far as I know you should be able to use it as a docking station. I can not be certain though as the one that I received did not work.

Yes, you do need the hdmi Cord in addition to this adaptor. The hdmi cords are not costly at all so you should be able to find one very cheap. The adaptor has 2 openings one for the hdmi cord and the other for the charger for your tablet. You take one end of the hdmi cord and plug into your tv, then take the other and plug into the adaptor. The adaptor also has a cord that goes into the charging port of your tablet. Then lastly to keep your tablet charging while your using it you can plug a charger cord into the charging port of the adaptor. I hope this helps.

It doesn't come with an HDMI cord, so yes you have to plug in your own cord into the female HDMI slot on the adapter

You may already have an HDMI. The first thing is to look carefully at your ports, also check the rear of your laptop. Some manufacturers put ports on the rear for docking stations. You will find that HDMI looks very similar to USB ports. DVI ports have a more rounded edge but HDMI is boxy like USB. Push come to Shove, tell me the make and model and I will look it up... One thing that is a decent alternative is gettin a 9 pin D-shell to HDMI or DVI depending what your needs are. Most laptops have a VGA out which is a standard monitor connection that preceded DVI and HDMI. If you also need sound, you will want to get a mini stereo plug (headphone jack), to connect to a speaker system.

no docking station, just a wall cable with two outputs... one for the collar and one for the remote so they charge at the same time

There is a usb cord connection. but I have no idea what to use it for! I use the monitor connection to display documents for students to view as I work out problems. There is also the power cord and some video cords.

Actually, you don't even need the HDMI. It will work fine with a VGA cable and speaker cable. My wife's Windows 7 Inspiron runs it with no problems.

No. Both must be digital connections. DVI and HDMI. You can use converter on either port

It has an hdmi connection port but it does not come with the actual hdmi cord - you would have to purchase that separately. You don't need anything special. Any hdmi cord will work.

Yes, the HDMI port works fine. The only problem most people are reporting with the HDMI functionality is that the driver, as shipped, does not allow the tablet display to be duplicated on the monitor/TV; you can only select "extend" mode or just the monitor/TV screen. A newer driver, available from the Toshiba support site, fixes that. Perhaps you have a defective cable?

No, i obtained this cable mainly to do that with my tv but you must have a video card specific for it. VGA does not go to HDMI with just one cord, I recommend using a VGA to VGA cord instead

the docking station has a dvi connector, you can connect a cable dvi to hdmi and obtains a high resolution image

No, you do not. The monitor speaker (that is the RIGHT speaker that has the docking receptacle on top) has "TV/Audio" input jacks right above the power cord. You can even use it as a PA system! The system rocks!

I used a DisplayPort to a DVI-D cord. Unfortunately, the HDMI only works out, not in. However, the screen resolution is still nice and sharp.

I believe what you need is an HDMI Cable and you can use it only if your computer has an HDMI port.

No. But if your laptop is charged, you don't need the laptop plugged in while you are using the docking station. You can still use the 2nd monitor and other peripherals you have attached to the docking station.
