• Why MHL?

A tremendous amount of multimedia content, from high-resolution images and short videos to feature length Hollywood films, is downloaded, captured and/or stored on portable personal entertainment devices. Unfortunately, when consumers connect these portable devices to an HDTV via standard analog connections, the picture is often displayed with image quality below standard definition.

Before MHL it was not possible to mirror your phone's screen to any HDTV or displays, where you can view galleries, photos and videos exactly as you would on your smartphone, but on the big screen.

Now, by MHL all these issues have been solved. MHL technology enabled devices, however, can connect to HDTVs via a standard HDMI port found on most televisions sold today, allowing users to watch and listen to multimedia content on a large screen in high definition.

All you need to do is connect your smartphone to your TV and you should see your smartphone's screen on your TV. It completely Mirrors the smartphone screen on to the HDTV.

Now you can use your smartphone or TV remote (if applicable) to navigate around your phone and play media, or even better, get gaming!

Photos and video

Since MHL mirrors your phone's screen on the HDTV, now you can experience the view of galleries, photos and videos exactly as you would on your smartphone, but on the big screen.

Music

Now you can tunes your audio content to stream to your HDTV via MHL. If you have a speaker system set up with your TV, crank up the volume and listen to them exactly as they were meant to be heard with a digital high quality audio experience.

Games

Now MHL will give you this experience. Just hook up your phone and away you go. You can also add a keyboard or game controller to your phone to make gameplay much easier (only some games support this feature).
