Have you tried it on a hdmi device? I have done it on my hd tv. It works and well. I believe you must have hdmi output to do it. Or the laptop dock is the main option.

Well it pulled up on my TV. Isn't there a way to use it on a desktop without the dock?

If you have a HDMI input on your desktop monitor, you can connect the Atrix via HDMI to your monitor. If you have the Webtop hack, you will be able to use it this way. If not, you should still be able to use the entertainment center. You won't however be able to use Webtop on a laptop, as video on a laptop is out only. Similarily, you won't be able to connect your phone through the video card on a desktop, as this is video out only also. You could possible do this with an elaborate setup using firewire, serial ports, etc., but why would you go to those lengths?
Hope I understood your question and my response answers that question.
Cheers!
<edit> I should also add that the limiting factor with a laptop and desktop is not the connection itself, but rather the drivers. The ports are capable of video in, but you will not find drivers to accommodate this.
The laptop dock is not a "laptop" as such, and you shouldn't confuse the laptop dock with a laptop.

Has anyone used this adapter to get their bolt to TV?
http://www.expansys-usa.com/expansys-mhl-microusb-to-hdmi-adapter-black-221378/
saw a review that it worked for the sensation.
To the best of my knowledge, the tbolt does not have any programming or chip to send the video out through the micro usb port. So the piece would not work as it would get no signal from the phone

totally agree with the logic of its native programming to not have such a feature but is it possible for a application to be downloaded that could make one? maybe if its rooted anyways there might be a app.
I know you said no DLNA, bit I've been using skifta and it works great. Check it out. https://market.android.com/details?id=com.skifta.android.app

I don't think my TV has dlna or wifi capabilities. What other options are there to play rented movies from Google videos on my bolt to the television. Don't have an Xbox or PS. Just phone, laptop, TV.
Stumped on this one. Last resort is checking to see if your digital cable provider (if you have one) has an app that will allow
media sharing via their DVR or cable box. I have Verizon FiOS and their app let's me share pics and video through my DVR into my TV. Limited, but it works.

Dear Xperia S users,
Here are somevery cheap HDMI connectors that will work on our Xperia S
It's handy for those that don't have an HDMI cable in the box like me.
Here are some that should be working:
== Dealextreme.com ==
- Right Angle Adapter
- Right Angle Adapter
- Straight Adapter
- Straight Adapter
- Right Angle Adapter
You have to be sure it's connected good otherwise the signal between your phone and HDMI cable won't be ok
Feel free to post some more so I can add them to the thread
Those are really cheap ;-)

Since HDMI utilizes digital signal, there won't be signal loss.
Unless you are using a very long HDMI cable.

I am using the Cable in the box, I can get 1080p on my tv, and also use my TV remote to control the phone. PLUS, 3D as well, when viewing 3D photos.
I don't know if those cheap adoptor can do all those though. but I am lucky to have one in the box.
U sure 1080p ?
Look again of you want.
Pres on page info or something and it will show 720p 1080i etc

Pretty sure. But your tv need to support movie mode 1080 p 24,
I'll try to upload a pic on my tv screen for ya.
Just got my mhl adapter and plugged into the tv. It works but the framerate is terrible. My phone gets a really good pic and the tv one is poor.
Is this normal or have I missed some thing?

You sure it's even S3 compatible? Because I think only the genuine Samsung ones have the 11 pins.
Mines the genuine one. It works but disappointing on video.
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
itsa samsung adaptor, just from the infuse.
it worked on my skyrocket and Galaxy Note. i figured it would work on the S3
I have same issue, videos that I recorded using S3 cam plays really bad on tv with the genuine Samsung 11pin adapter. Its very choppy/stutters but YouTube or any other videos that I downloaded plays fine though... only the videos I recorded have issues. All the videos are recorded in 1080p. Any ideas what could be causing this?

If it works on any other phone then it's not S3 compatible because the new S3 cables have an 11 pin layout so works on S3 and nothing else.
Have you tried different televisions? . I'm gonna try another tv and then log with Samsung. It's not really watchable. Regretting not buying a dlna adapter instead at the minute

Will a DNLA adapter work with the S3 and any TV?
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
My understanding is the dlna adapter just plugs into a tv's hdmi port.

If you open WMPlayer and under streaming enable. Allow devices to remote.
Then launch video on s3 and you should get icon in top left. Press and watch dlna . Only vids I have trouble with is mkv. I believe that is dlna adapter dependent and my media player doesn't have codecs.
Not managed to try another television yet though.

How to use MHL
Buy the OFFICIAL cable, power it with your Samsung adapter, pop it into a working TV. Turn the TV to that channel on HD. Plug in your phone.
I experience a slight latency slowdown, but nothing that would make it unsusable.
I'm probably being just picky, put it this way I've completed mariokart 64 on 150 on it.

I have no problem but you have me confused with your instructions.....
You say "pop it into a working TV" ~ Pop what into a working TV?
You say "Turn the TV to that channel on HD" ~ You are going to have to run that one by me again?
You say "Plug in your phone" ~ Surely in order for the TV to pick up the S3, the phone needs to be connected and powered BEFORE you connect it and the HDMI cable to the TV, not after?
I Have official adapter.
I use the charger that came with phone.
Plugged into telly the framerate is poor.
The quality isn't great either.
Not sure what's going on but it's pants !!!

Just tried this in iiyama monitor.
Framerate issue gone. Colours a very dull instead, but exceptable.
Maybe this is an edid issue. My tv is an LG.

Hi,
I'm a CATV engineer, and i want to stream from my Galaxy S3 to my encoders using RCA cable. So, is there any possibilities to do that? i know i can use HDMI cable, but i want RCA ones, they are compatible with all equipments.
Regards,
I read you can use this:

Sorry I would like to contribute something positive but I can't. Why would you think that this is a good idea at all, the resolution would make anything you try display unreadable. If you don't have hdmi on all your Tv's and you're a CATV guy well... Anyway it would be better value of your time and equipment costs, to just go buy a new 32" LCD and carry that around in your work van.

Sir, thank you for your reply,
It's not about TV-s, it's about the other equipments like encoders, decoders, IRD etc. They are all with RCA or BNC.
HDMI ports are much more for homes, than for server rooms.
