This is awesome! My only suggestion would be that for selections that are incompatible, you should offer an explanation about why they are incompatible. Just having the options greyed out and disabled is really frustrating for non-technical users.

For example: "I want to connect my tablet to the TV". As a techie, I know this is possible, but the solution is probably too complicated. It might be helpful to let the user make this choice, but then say "You can't do this with a cable". Even for stupid ones like "I want to connect my Printer to the TV", just say "This is not possible, you can't connect X to Y".

Micro-HDMI is harder to find, but lets me connect my tablet to my TV quite nicely. The problem is distinguishing it from micro-USB.

(Is there a visual/ML tool that users can use on their phones to identify cable plugs and sockets?)

What do you mean? I've plugged in my mother's tablet to the TV on numerous occasions with a mini-HDMI to HDMI cable. Is that uncommon on newer tablets?

Well that depends on the tablet you have, so the next question when you select tablet-to-tv would be "Which tablet do you have"? Because a Nexus 7 doesn't have any HDMI ports, so you'd have to get a Chromecast or something (too technical).

When you select computer to TV, it asks whether your computer has a port like this (this being a picture of a HDMI port.) I see no reason why they couldn't do the same for a tablet.

The HDMI on the nexus 7 2013 works with a MHL cable trough the microUSB port. The 2012 model doesn't have MHL.

My parents TVs have RCA plugs.

Maybe point in the right direction: "you might consider a chromecast <short explanation goes here>"
