Apparently mhl it's finicky on the M8 though some people at xda seemed to have luck with the Samsung and Rocketfish cables though it appears gassy the connection if not reliable. I'm using Miracast over a PTV-3000 with mine and its very good to excellent which is no surprise. HTC doesn't seem to make their own MHL cable but they do push their version of a Miracast dongle.
