If so, what device would you recommend? I tried a dock meant for Galaxy devices, but it wouldn't fit in the microUSB port properly.

Hello Everyone,
So I've been seeking ways to do video out on the Thunderbolt besides DLNA. I came across a device called "Sewell HDdeck USB to HDMI Converter". I would post a link but I cannot do so yet.
It's an adapter that has a port for standard USB and the other port is HDMI. Does anyone know if something like this would work?

Think this would work
I don't believe this will work - If you notice it indicates it only works with the Samsung Galaxy S, which has a special multi function port - it is an enhanced USB that has additional connectors for the HDMI.
I just found a MHL cable for the SGS2 on Amazon with Micro-USB to HDMI.
I have a Samsung HDTV bought about a year ago. Now i know that MHL means you can charge as well as view the phone stuff on the screen but MHL TVs have not released yet (i think, and even if they have i wont be getting one anytime soon).
So my question is can i still see the TV out if i use the MHL cable on my older TV? I know it definitely wont charge.
Anyone?? :S
yes you can.
all you need is the adapter from MHL (micro-USB) to HDMI, connect the HDMI to the TV and you are good to go.
the advantage of the original samsung adapter is the ability to connect a power cable to the adaptor and charge the phone while it transmits the picture to the TV.
hope i helped
Thanks mate
For anyone confused, an MHL cable is a Micro USB to HDMI cable - no ifs, no buts, this will transmit HDMI from a compatible MHL port. Nothing else needed (except I believe it must also be connected to power)
Your micro USB port on the bottom of your SGS2 is an MHL/USB port, and will therefore work.
Important to note is that not all micro USB ports are also MHL ports, therefore will not necessarily work on some other micro USB port on a different phone.
In preparation for getting my Verizon Galaxy S3, I have went through all the features I need for a phone, and realized that the most important one features is not documented anywhere. MobileFun's "Mobile Fun Connection Kit," has connects via MicroUSB and uses USB on the go to process attached USB devices on the USB port. Is it possible to use the MicroUSB in the adapter with Samsungs official MHL adapter, or Adapter Tip (Meaning I plugin the the Connection Kit via microUSB, then attach a device(Keyboard, mouse, etc.) via USB port, then use the connectors microUSB port to attach the MHL adapter, transmit the video signal to the TV, and then use the MHL's microUSB adapter to power the device)to the Connector. If not, (Do to bandwidth issues, or generally insanity of the question), are their any alternative implantation's I can use? Are their any other on-the-go adapter with MHL and a USB port?

Specifically, MHL through USB on-the-go, or the galaxy S3's proprietary MHL implantation prevents it from working?
Im buying new monitor, there are some models with MHL support, so what do i get with MHL? my question is how i will benefit from that? what is advantage of monitor with native MHL support?
Both monitors in my final choice have FullHD 1920*1080 resolution and HDMI ports.
LG IPS237L => MHL, HDMI, 1920*1080

LG IPS236V => HDMI, 1920*1080

There is no such thing as "MHL support" for a monitor. That is purely marketing stuff. Every monitor that has HDMI will work with MHL devices as long as the MHL device has the proper cable.
The devices that must be MHL-enabled are the source devices, the one generating the images, not the display.
If you have the adequate MHL adapter for your S III, any monitor or TV with HDMI inputs will work.
I have my S III work with several models of TVs, and none of them state they are "MHL-enabled": they just have HDMI ports.

I think the MHL-enabled monitor mean you don't need a MHL cable. However do note that SIII went out of the MHL specification with S3. Make sure that S3 is supported before your purchase one.Otherwise you will still need a S3/Note2 specific MHL cable.
i have already ordered MHL cable for my GS3, indeed cheep one from ebay but it should work fine.
i think that MHL support is option to charge your phone directly over HDMI=> mUSB cable, so there is no need for extra power. but think is new 11pin and changed specification of Galaxy S3, so i still need extra power connection
this MHL support is pure marketing, thanks for answers
Just what the title says.
Since mhl 3 is connector agnostic, it should theoretically work right?
i am using a samsung mhl adaptor like this one on my z2 with no problems:
http://www.amazon.com/Samsung-MHL-HDMI-Adapter-Packaging/dp/B005LGUDKK
it's an older version mhl but i guess the new one should work fine too.
If it's micro USB then it should do. The z2 supports mhl 3.0 so if the cable is correct it should work, beware of fakes which only support 2.0, found out the I hard way!
I believe 3.0 supports 4k but I may be wrong. On a side note my Z2 didn't come with the nice headphones or the cheap ones but some decent in ear sony ones (not DNC).
