martini_guy Posted January 11, 2016 #1 Share Posted January 11, 2016 On my last cruise I tried a few different things and the USB seemed disabled. Has anyone been able to connect their phone/tablet/laptop to show something that they've downloaded? Would be nice to have some movies on standby.

I know the kindle can connect via an HDMI, and most laptops have an HDMI out too. I assume the cabin LCD has an HDMI connection, but maybe not.

wickedhangover Posted January 11, 2016 #3 Share Posted January 11, 2016 most ships use a view sonic model, not too far from this one http://www.viewsonic.com/us/commercial-displays/commercial-tvs/vt2406-l.html I'd bring a universal remote and start with that since their remote won't let you change the input device. I'm also pretty sure that the signal coming in from the coax cable needs to get cut off, so you may want to bring pliers in case it's screwed on really tight. Last resort might be to jam a paper clip into the factory reset switch, assuming the model has one. I'd start by downloading a couple PDF manuals to your tablet from the view sonic support site. Even if you don't have the exact same model, it won't be so far off you can't figure out the options. If I went that far, I'd probably bring some extra tools so I could move it from above the desk/vanity, if you have that sort of room. I'd be half tempted to ask customer service if they have larger screen TVs that can be delivered because you have vision problems. I doubt they do but would be interested in hearing their response.

SeaScout Posted January 11, 2016 #4 Share Posted January 11, 2016 I believe those functions are essentially disabled on the ships TV's. If anyone knows a work around I'd appreciate knowing what it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lizardhowson Posted January 11, 2016 #5 Share Posted January 11, 2016 Unless you have a suite, the inputs are all disabled. https://help.carnival.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/2789 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Star1 Posted January 11, 2016 #6 Share Posted January 11, 2016 We just bring a small DVD player. We use it at the airport, on the plane, in our cabin, under the stars and is great to entertain the little one in the dining room.

Nic6318 Posted January 11, 2016 #7 Share Posted January 11, 2016 We just watch on the laptop. On planes, trains, and cruise ships. It's easier not having to bring extra wires. have a great cruise Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
