ok i now that you can connect the HDMI cable to a tv with a rooted atrix, but what i would want to know is that can you connect the hdmi cable to a computer tower or laptop that has hdmi??
will it work?
If you want to use your Atrix as a computer monitor, it won't work because the Atrix's HDMI port is an output.
If you want to use your laptop as a Webtop monitor, it won't work because your laptop's HDMI port is an output.
I don't know what you'd gain from connecting it to your computer tower, but it won't do anything.
You can, however, connect your Atrix to a computer monitor that has a HDMI port.
if you looked there was a thread about this yesterday

I was wondering how do you go around to surf the internet on your big screen tv and also use an external usb mouse/keyboard?
I would need a "Micro USB Host Mode Cable" to hook the mouse/keyboard to the phone AND I also have to use a "MHL Adapter Micro USB To HDMI Converter" to see the phone in the tv and both use the one and only usb micro from the phone... Is anyone using a usb hub with usb micro to usb micro connections? Has anyone tried to use a regular usb hub to connect more than one usb device? Do you need to be rooted to do this?
I guess one option is to find a bluetooth keyboard/mouse but that seems to be expensive...
Thanks!
I know that most people us the MHL adapter for hdmi and bluetooth for keyboard and mouse.
Is there a list anywhere as far as which bluetooth mouse/keyboard works fine? I hate to go that route since I will be using the phone this way at both home and work. I dont really want to be hauling the keyboard/mouse back and forth. At least if I could connect using the usb I could use bluetooth on one place and usb in the other....
Anyway, if you can point me out to where there is a list I will appreciate it...
I still like to hear if anyone is doing this just using usb...
Anyone knows a list of proven bluetooth keyboards/mouse?
Guess not.

I bought this keyboard and mouse and it works great. You can buy it for $44 shipped (they will accept your offer).
Multi-touch is a no go, but it is still pretty slick.

Hello all,
Today my micro HDMI to HDMI cable and HDMI to DVI adapter arrived. I put the lot together and attached it to my monitor, but it doesn't work... The Prime says that micro HDMI is connected when the cable with adapter is attached to the screen, but the screen doesn't pick up the signal.
I haven't tried putting the HDMI cable into a TV or so, because I have none...
btw. I'm on the latest update (.15?)
My panasonic tv didn't recognize the connection until i plugged it in to the extra hdmi port on the side of the tv. I don't know what the deal was, but I am glad it worked eventually.
Try another tv or monitor, it could be a compatibility issue.
Hey there. So I Lapdock and modded to work with Photon. Problem is that i have Defender case and to use ot, I have to remove it everytime. Bought extention cables: micro usb & hdmi. Now after i connect to lapdock, it does not see the phone, and phone only see hdmi cable connected, and Lapdock works as the monitor only, and notlike it supposed to. If I plug phone without cable, Lapdock sees it and work as designed. So not sure if that problem with cables or something else. Phone is completely stock and unmodded.....thanks.
Is it possible to connect an unrooted S3 to a TV via MHL and also plug in a PS3 gamepad via a USB OTG cable at the same time?
Maybe there's a cable on the market which allows this?
There is docking station made by Samsung, EDD-S20EWEGSTD that allows HDMI and OTG and charging simultaneously
