The PC article I read said I'd need 2 cables to stream video from my S4 to HDTV: 1) MHL-HDMI Adapter &amp; 2) HDMI cable. Is this an all-in-1 deal?

Yes usually they sell them separate but someone was smart enough to put them together, I wish I would ve seen this one before I bought mine, but this one it's all you'll need for your s4 to stream to your HDTV.

Nope, not necessary. You will probably want a 1.3 spec Cat 2 cable. That will set you back about $5 plus shipping. The cable people are at monoprice.com. Most HDMI cables are 6 feet. If that works for you this is what you should buy...http://www.monoprice.com/products/product.asp?c_id=102&cp;_id=10240&cs;_id=1024008&p;_id=3992&seq;=1&format;=2.

Any adapter should work. No need to pay a premium to Samsung. What you're looking for is micro-HDMI to HDMI though, not mini-HDMI. Using that to search should make it easy to find a good selection of adapters and cables.

Yes. But, if it is your intention to stream movies from ur S 3 to ur TV, as I understand that I'll not work. There is a different cable for that. I looked it up once and I as I remember, it was a few dollars more than I wanted to spend. As I already have several other options for doing that, it did not seem like the extra money was worth the expense!

I've tried all ways to get my phone to play through the tv with this mhl and nothing has happened. I'm not sure if I need a different hdmi cord or not, but imma just wait for my samsung mhl adapter to come in since I have a Samsung S4.

My view is that the S4 in all versions doesn't have an mini HDMI output port as far as I know looking at the specs. The only port is a mini UBS port which is used for charger and other devices. This doesn't work in such a port. Check your manual, and you'll find the charging port is a mini USB. This is a mini HDMI connector that will not work. The S4 can't output HDMI. It can record in HD, but that goes on the SD card you can use, not for pumping out HD externally.

The Galaxy S2 has MHL for video output not micro hdmi. Just search for "mhl adapter" in amazon. You plug the adapter into your micro usb port on your phone then a regular hdmi cable into both the adapter and tv.

The HDMI (ARC) cable takes the input/output from the blueray player to your TV HDMI (ARC)input/output. The one cable does everything. The cable rating should be "high speed." I got RCA Digital plus cable. My Samsung TV says with the Audio Return Chanel (ARC) enabled, optical input is disabled.If you do not have ARC available on your TV, you have HDMI but not HDMI (ARC), then you would need both types cable, the HDMI and optical. Only the ARC type sends and receives from both units. That's the way I see it!

yes, you need an hdmi cable to connect the adapter to and then the other end of the hdmi cable connects to the tv. order the hdmi cable from amazon. they are much less expensive than a store.

I have an S4 and to be truthful, the CD-AH200 kit did me absolutely no good. With Samsung products, all you need is a HDMI cable, charging cable, and the 2.0 MHL adapter from Samsung. The MHL adapter included in the kit does nothing for Samsungs. In other words, this kit a waste of money for Samsungs. Cheaper to get your own HDMI cable, charging cable, and the Samsung 2.0 MHL adapter ( Samsung Open Box MHL 2.0 HDTV Adapter )

Thanks! That makes sense. I did get a message that said something about HDCP. Can you recommend any HDMI cables that are HDCP compatible? I was trying to avoid spending a ton of money on one, but maybe I just have to. I also read on avsforum about firmware updates, etc. I guess I'll try a new cable before contacting Samsung.

The HDMI Cable is for direct connection to High Definition TV. What you want is a All-in-one High-Speed Memory Card Reader wich is included in the kit. Good luck deciding! I love it

It just depends on what kind of jack you have. Many laptops these days come standard with HDMI jacks. In that case, you can just easily plug in this cable and the screen will pop up on your TV. Easy as that. If the laptop has some other monitor connection such as DVI, then you would need a separate HDMI adapter to use this cable. As for the S4, you will definitely need an HDMI adapter to use these cables with it. Samsung makes one that you can buy separately, but I'm sure there are plenty of knock offs out there. Hope this helps.

According to Samsung tech support only the MHL port and ARC hdmi port supports HDMI 2.0 and HDCP 2.2 and it has built in support for HEVC H.265 as well as a oneconnect port for future upgradeability which Samsung guarantees for 4 yrs. FYI other external 4K devices also need to support HDMI 2.0 and HDCP 2.2 to view 4k, if not you get downgraded to 1080p. Oneconnect box not included. As of now you need to make sure when shopping for 4k whether it is a tv, receiver, or any other UHD/4k device that all of the hdmi ports support hdmi 2.0 and hdcp 2.2 or if not at least the ARC port supports it and/or there is an upgrade path. It also needs to support 4k at 24/30/60hz (60 right now is primarily being used by online streaming companies like netflix and amazon) and has HEVC H.265 supoort. Also while most people will tell you that current 10.2 gbps High speed hdmi cables will be good for everything meaning no need to upgrade be aware that current HDMI 10.2gbps high speed cables do not support 4k at 60hz also refered to as 60fps. They max out at 4k@24hz with some managing 4k@30hz. The hdmi.org has raised the the speed to 18gbps for the new hdmi spec. So i recommend getting HDMI cables that is rated at least 18 gbps and supports 4k@60Hz. Don't over pay. Monoprice is just starting to get the 18gbps cables now and others will be too. Keep in mind you only will need new cables just for devices that use 4k@30hz/fps and above which there none right now except for a $299 streaming device that is coming out soon. As of now 4K Blu-ray specs have not been finalized yet so it will be a while before we devices. Cable/sat devices also will take a long while to make the change. So most of your 4k content niw will come from the built in tv apos like netflix and 4k proprietary media players or hard drives with 4k contentent like the samsung one. This tech is really 1 to 2 years at the earliest from fully taking off.

Dear Pete,The Samsung Galaxy S3 does not have a Micro HDMI port so it will not be compatible with our cable. You will want to use an MHL to HDMI adapter cable for your device. We recommend contacting Samsung as they make 2 types of adapters to ensure you purchase the correct one. Pleas contact us at service@bluerigger.com if you have any additional questions.Thank you,BlueRigger LLCservice@bluerigger.com

I just bought an HP Pavilion dv7-4270us which has an hdmi port. I want to hook it up to watch stream Netflix to a Toshiba 40RV525R which also has an hdmi port. What else do I need to do or be concerned about? How much should I spend on this cable - there are some really cheap ones out there.
