HDMI/USB Adapters?

[skeeve]

Anybody found adapters for HDMI or to full USB for a reasonable price that they can confirm works? The MHL adapter for HDMI on Samsung's site seems much too expensive.

(I'm also eagerly awaiting their car dock!)

Amazon.com: USB 2.0 A to Micro B Female / Male Adaptor: Electronics

I can't confirm. According to the reviews, they're hit and miss, but they're so cheap you could buy several and hope you get one that works. You could also check monoprice.com.

Micro USB to HDMI MHL at monoprice:

For only $11.90 each when QTY 50+ purchased - Micro USB to HDMI MHL Adapter - Black | MHL Adapters

Ordered late last week; have got it yet, but should today/tomorrow.

Also, have to get a male-male HDMI cable. I have one laying around, but I think they're only a couple bucks at Monoprice.

Got it working. Mono price adapter that is.

so how much is just one if you're not buying 50+ bulk?

It gives you the price for single purchases and bulk purchases. Right now its $14.02 (shipping is extra). I might have to order one of these.

I bought one of those MLH Adapters from Monoprice too. I got it to work but the charger cable won't stay in the slot on the adapter. The slightest move and it falls out! It works fine anywhere else I plug it in, just not in this adapter. Anybody else have that problem?

I just received this in the mail. Seems to work very well!

I have bought 2 cables from different companies on Ebay, neither fit the plug. Both companies have given me refunds. They were advertised to fit Sprint Epic 4g Touch. One $6.50 and the other $3.50. Don't think the 10' cable version is going to work, not sure what phone they are made for, maybe the earlier Epic?

I got the Samsung cable through Amazon for $18.30 (odd price) and it works phenominally well.

I never used the HDMI function on my EVO and never felt compelled to, is it really all that ground breaking?
And what are some good uses? Pictures on my tv I guess? *shrugs*

I figured I would get some answers from people that have used it and how awesome it is.

What about netflix/youtube/vimeo or games on the tv?

youtube quality is meh at best mobile and my tv is already streaming all that out of box
I guess if i was in a hotel that actually had hdmi it would be a score, but then again I would have my laptop.

Well it's not for everybody but it's a nice feature to have. My girlfriend doesn't have a "smart" tv (or netflix), but I can serve it up from my phone.

and wanted to show them to coworkers, if I had the cable it would have been a big win.
