Cell Replaces Computer

Skyl4rk,
The bluetooth and chromecast options take way to much specialized/expensive equipment and even more fiddling to get them to even kind of work.  I've been looking for a cheap, solid, reliable setup for awhile now, and this hardware gives you that in a way that I feel comfortable posting it for anybody to look at.

Jim,
Yes, no, maybe!!!!!!

MHL is a standard that lets you hook the video from cells that support it to HDMI or DVI-D.  Not all cellphones support MHL, so you have some checking to do.

I'm hooked up to a 32" TV with multiple HDMI inputs, getting 1280x1080 res.

I received and hooked up the MHL adapter today and it works as advertised. Actually it is wonderful. I can put the phone display on a 24 inch HDMI monitor and it fills the screen with a beautifully sharp display AND I can use a USB keyboard to type with. A few more test and i can shut off the $100+ cable bill forever.

Thank you , Thank you, Thank you.
