what cable should i be looking to buy for the MHL to HDMI converter. As in is there a specific brand that is going to be better quality then another? Being that the one offered through verizon is Ibolt and not a OEM product.

I purchased the Samsung HDMI/MHL adapter and it works, I don't know if the quality is any better then other brands (no ground for comparison).
I've been using the one from Monoprice. I haven't had any problems with it.

High Speed Micro HDMI to HDMI adapter for HTC EVO 4G - eBay (item 130412880785 end time Aug-21-10 04:28:52 PDT)
anybody buy one of these? thoughts? if not where did you buy from for a similar price?
I haven't tried any micro hdmi adaptors but a trusted source for cheap but quality cables is monoprice. It won't let me link directly but they have one for $4 before shipping. I bought a mini displayport to hdmi adaptor from them and it works great.
Not bad...
Micro HDMI To HDMI
I'd go with the cable for the same price rather than an adapter, any day.
Got mine cable off ebay for $4 with shipping. 6 foot cable

Yup. I bought two of them. I watched movies for 5 1/2 hours on my 82" Mitsubishi DLP TV and still had about a 1/4 charge on the battery. The adapter performed flawlessly!

That quality degradation is either the codec used in the phone to decode it or just a bad quality movie. The hdmi cable has no effect on quality of the movie. Its digital.
Here is where I buy ALL of my cables for my phones and accesories.
I got 3 gold plated 6ft usb cables and 2 10ft hdmi cables for my droid x for about $20. Shipping included.
+1 for monoprice.com
i just got my cable from them too
+2, 2 usb's and 1 hdmi 10 bucks with tax and shipping
+1 for Monoprice.
They have the best deals on any cable you might need.
as the title says, i'm looking for a cheap MHL cable recommendation
Looks like more adapters hitting the market. Noticed the price at Amazon for official Samsung adapter is £16.99, bizlink £10.99 and one or two other options...
I bought this (18$):

Here's another one 18$:

Has anyont tried out HDMI/ USB adapter on this yet? Is it full mirroring?
Using an MHL adapter does give you mirror display output. There is not enough power from the phone to power the MHL adapter, so you must use a power adapter.
I used an HTC MHL adapter. Check with Monoprice, they just started carrying generic MHL's.
Did u guys gets an adapter with your phone? Wirefly said I wasn't supposed to get one.
Uhhhhh... Last time I looked, Samsung wasn't buying HTC branded accessories and including them with their products! LOL!!
No MHL included.

Was only sent to certain reviewers u r missing nothing..... U must now purchase one..... Theres a couple links going around for cheap ones

Nope. They are cheaping out on us. Just the phone and charger.
The European version at least got some decent looking headphones, and I have seen one set actually have a basic leather case. The case might have been a reviewers special or something.
Best place I would recommend getting an MHL would be Monoprice. You can get them cheaper at Amazon or Ebay, but you get what you pay for from those places.

That would be an MHL (Mobile High-Definition Link)
Usb to HDMI with another USB port for power. I have an HTC version. Works great, must use power to usb port next to HDMI output. Some devices have enough power to drive the adapter. Unfortuntely, the E4GT does not.
What, not even headphones.

Correct.
Phone, charger, usb cable, weak looking manual and paperwork.

in the review he mentions that the mhl adapter did not come with the phone.
got my mhl adapter and mirroring is working good.
However wondering if there is any way to make the video quality playback better?
should one adjsut the screen density or any other settings?I have you tube and netflix playing well but not in that high of quality IMO
I noticed a lot of people are looking for a HDMI adapter but is boycotting Samsung's $40 adapter . I don't need an MHL adapter but for those looking for a cheaper alternative.

i want a cheap wireless one if you find any? i think that htc one runs also for s3:
http://www.amazon.de/HTC-H200-Wirel...HH70/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1342512147&sr=8-1
but 65 € is pretty much for using just for a few times...
Wow never heard of a wireless one before. I think that is a little over kill for me. I will stick to the wire one for now if anything. Thanks though.
no Chinese cheaper adapter yet??
I don't want to pay more than $10-12 for this

Even Chinese adapters cost $30 now.
I found one for $22 on ebay, but don't know how good he is.

I seriously doubt it will work, the connector is different for S2 (5 pins) and S3 (11 pins), so if it says it works for both...
Maybe the 11 pins also work for 5 pins, but not vice versa

Won't work, unless you buy the $10 adapter from Samsung.

Yes, there is an adapter that will go from the 11 pin micro-USB on the SGS3, to 5 pin micro-USB, so you can plug in the micro-USB from an "old" MHL adapter.

"Yo dawg! I heard that you like adapters, so we put an adapter in your adapter so you can watch HD video while you watch HD video!"
Then I think it's better to buy this for $29.88
anyone brave enough to try this one out?

I got the adapter for $10 with free shipping:
http://www.amazon.com/Original-Sams...id=1343326078&sr=8-1&keywords=mhl+adapter+tip
It lets you connect your old MHL cable (or a $5 one from ebay) to a galaxy s3 and still work. I'm using it and it works perfect.
Even if you don't have an old cable, this is still the best deal since it's $5 for a 5-pin cable and $10 for the adapter.

This is damn smart. I might go this route. Functional and it save a couple bucks. Thanks
Sorry guys, new to this stuff. So let me see if I go this right. Does it go:
SGS3 >> MicroUSB-HDMI Cable >> HDTV Adapter Tip (http://www.amazon.com/Original-Samsung-Adapter-Converter-EPL-FU10BEBSTD/dp/B0083FYL0O/) >> TV?
found a S3 ONLY MHL cable.
So this likely means that's designed with the correct pins and it'll work

Hello, does it matter which Slimport adapter I buy? Can I just go for the cheapest?
I bought 2 different ones on amazon. Both work just fine. I like this one a bit better. Better quality and it just looks better.

The adapter shouldn't matter, just make sure you have a cable and TV that support HDMI 1.4a. While HDMI 1.4a is a bit old now, if you haven't upgraded your TV and cables recently you may find yourself in an incompatible situation, regardless of the slimport adapter.
Buy the Analogix SlimPort SP1003 on Amazon for $29.00. Don't waste your time with those cheap ass Chinese made "SlimPorts". This is the official. I bought 2 cheap ones on Amazon and they didn't work at all. Trust me.
