Samsung HDTV converters

[Zero Hunter]

Anyone have experience with these converters?

I want one that is preferably not too big. Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated.

Sorry, I'm not even sure what you're talking about. This is not the 'Let's discuss anything made by Samsung' forum - this is the Samsung Galaxy S III forum. If you're asking about a connector that will allow your S3 to connect via HDMI to a TV/monitor, then you're in the right place. If you're looking for information about Samsung HDTVs then this is the wrong place to look for that information.
If I've totally misunderstood what you're asking then I apologize in advance - how about providing a bit more information about what you're looking for?

is that micro-usb to full sise HDMI mate?
i think its disgusting how sammy have made it non universal. are there any cheaper 3rd party alternatives?
i miss my S/E Xperia Arc with the micro HDMI output. id just bought a quality adaptor and 4m extension when it got stolen lol. at least i can still use the male-female HDMI extension i suppose

It's full size, as far as i can see from the pics, description and reviews. Too bad it's so dang expensive...

 

[GSDer]

The Samsung one is definitely full size. It works really well, although you may have to use an HDMI cable that's no longer than 6' - at least, when I tried the 12' cables that I had on my TV, it wouldn't work at all.
It you happen to have a PS/3, you can steal one of the dual-shock controllers, which are bluetooth, and use it to control games (and probably navigate around the device) - that's pretty cool.

thats strange about the cable length. my extension is 4m (about 12ft?)
youd think length wouldnt matter with a digital signal eh

[trucky]

I think it's definitely quality over length... I use 25' with no problems, but it's a heavy duty HDMI cable, about as thick as my pinky. You get what you pay for.

If you don't know about this site.....then you've never owned an HDTV.

They are called MHL Adapters. I currently use the one made by Samsung.
Works great, have never had any problems with any cable Size, also used a few different generic one that worked just fine.
Don't spend a fortune and grab a cheap one online, seen them for over 40 bucks at radio shack.
this is the one i currently use http://www.google.com/shopping/prod...a=X&ei=jId9UI6FDoHDygHe2IGQCw&ved=0CFgQ8wIwAA

Would you be able to play any video on your phone directly to your TV with this adapter? Because if you can, I will pick this up right now!! I'm ready to dump my PS3 as my movie player!

 

[bakerbert]

For the most part...yes
There are a few that do not let you use HDMI out.
HBO to Go, Samsung media hub are a couple that will not work.....But You Tube, Netflix, Comcast and videos in your gallery work just fine with it.

I have a small Projector that is suppose to be for work , a set of small computer speakers..... and wallah instant portable movie theater

 

[funkylogik]

wow now thats cheap!!
ill be checkin that out


think my HDMI extension is a quality one but its not thick... id always thought thickness only mattered with like pure analogue voltages like speaker cables...

I was looking into getting WD TV Live to replace my PS3 as my media hub. Since I'm looking to get my Sammy smart TV, I won't be needing the WD Hub since I can directly connect my external HDD and play my movie files straight to the TV. Now, if I can play my movie files directly from my phone with this adapter....I can essentially take it (adapter) with me wherever I go and play movies at any ones home on their HDTV's without the need of a hub (WD TV Live, Apple TV, PS3, etc..)!!! Freakin AWESOME!!

 

[GrooveRite]

Bekerbert, one more question for you before I buy this adapter....

...does the phone charge with this adapter when plugged in?? Not sure if the HDMI cable would provide voltage to charge the phone through the adapter.

 

[funkylogik]

i thought it would just show whatever is on the phones screen like the hdmi out on my old xperia and older symbian nokia?
actualy i think the nokia did it thru scart..

It should, I hope! If not, I'm going to be angry with Bakerbert! lol

 

[funkylogik]

lol

theres too much confusion with the s3 because the MHL to HDMI is wired differently from everything else apple-style

actualy id be wary of that s2 adaptor. is it proven to work on the s3?

This is my concern as well! Before I get my panties in a bunch, I'm going to do some research, lol!
