Those HDMI settings may not appear unless physically connected. How are you connecting to the TV?

Micro HDMI port (Page 6) - E.g.:

Acer Tablet [micro HDMI port] <=== Micro HDMI plug ------HDMI cable ----HDMI plug==>[HDMI port] Phillips TV

Have you tried that along with the Display settings mentioned on Page 42?

Casting (Page 14, 43) may be another option.

Does the following link match your tablet?

https://www.gsmarena.com/acer_iconia_tab_10_a3_a40-8080.php

What converter are you using? What model Phillips TV?

Have you tried another known working HDMI cable?

Line diagram:

Acer Tablet [port ?] <--- converter [HDMI port] <----HDMI cable ---->[HDMI port] Phillips TV

Is the line diagram correct? If not, please revise as necessary to show how you are making the connections.
