Tethering

Resuming this thread. I would like to see the photos I take on a bigger screen in a studio. Using my laptop is surely an option, but logistically is annoying. I have an amazon fire tablet, which doesn't have google services, but I can root if there is something that works for sure.
Image sync is too slow, so I need something that works with a cable. On the PC Lightroom needs few seconds to show the image. Is there something like this for Android as well that can show images via cable automatically after shooting? PK_Tether needs root so I didn't try.
Is there a lightroom mobile that tethers?
Thanks for the help. BTW I don't really want to shoot with the tablet, so tether is not the right word, I want just to see the image after it has been taken, but without clicking anywhere, the sw should recognize the new photo automatically and show it.

Like was said earlier, if you just want to see the image in a bigger format then a field monitor is ideal. I can't peer through the viewfinder for long and so I use one for macro shooting. It takes the place of the camera screen in live view.

thanks, what's the difference between a tablet and a field monitor?
I was hoping to do something like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8uKQENIQWEs
are you saying that I can exploit the HDMI connection? That would be awesome, I need to try!

Monitor will mirror the LCD screen on the camera, but no controls.
Tablet running appropriate software will mirror camera LCD, and give controls.
Could consider a Flucard in the camera, plus tablet or phone.
Some £50 monitors on Amazon, eBay, etc.

thanks but what is the "appropriate software" for android? I wouldn't invest on a flucard, although Image Sync is quite awful due to the speed. Can Image Sync be used with usb cable?

Do you have LIVE VIEW on your PC with this set up? I need to have live view so I can compose since my camera will be placed up far away!
