This allows the phone to output full 1080P resolution via the standard Micro-Usb connector. All you need is the Micro-Usb to HDMI cable. You could also stream HD content from the phone wirelessly to a TV that supports DNLA, which most new televisions do support. For more information about MHL have a look here http://armdevices.net/2011/02/15/mobile-high-definition-link-mhl/ Hope that helps

skblakee Joined: May 07, 2007 Posts: > 500 From: St.Kitts, West Indies PM	Posted: 2011-02-18 12:27 After looking at the entire video about MHL I am firmly in the corner of the Galaxy S II. HDMI through the mini USB port is a great leap forward instead of having a separate port.

Only newer model phones from this year onwards have the ability to do high Definition content through USB.

Agreed that it's quite annoying having no TV-out on the 3.5mm jack! [ This Message was edited by: laffen on 2011-05-26 16:34 ]
