MHL Adapters & HDMI Screen Mirroring Explained: Passive, Active, Samsung's 11-pin, DVI
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 2 июн 2024
- In this updated video, I go through both types of MHL (active, passive) and show how to use MHL to mirror your smartphone (or tablet) content onto both an HDTV and a computer monitor.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mobile_H...
MHL adapters are available online through MonoPrice, eBay and others for ~$10: www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_from=...
Devices that support MHL: www.mhltech.org/devices.aspx
MHL is typically connected via a device's 5-pin micro-USB port. However, Samsung uses a proprietary 11-pin interface so if you're purchasing an MHL adapter/cable, you'll need to purchase the 11-pin to 5-pin adapter: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mobile_H... / www.amazon.com/Monoprice-11-Pi...
My original post on Sympatico: www.sync-blog.com/sync/2011/09...
MHL allows for MIRRORING of the screen, not an extension or 2nd display. As such, there is NO performance difference from the phone to the connected display.
(Some people have asked if video playback is different on MHL than on the phone. It is IDENTICAL. The images are MIRRORED. If it plays smoothly on the phone, it will be smooth on the LCD/HDTV.)
MHL outputs up to 1080p (through as of yet, no device have 1080p screens for mirroring) as well as full 7.1 channel surround sound.
Currently, MHL-capable phones and tablets include devices from HTC, Samsung, LG, and others.

What sucks quite a bit is that only few smartphones support MHL... It's quite strange that we still struggle to connect phones with TVs through cable in 2019...😵
I was missing the 5 pin to 11 pin adapter. This video explained very clearly. Thank you for an amazing video. I subscribed to your channel
This was so well explained. I will try this before sending my mhl black box with hdmi back.
I think this might be the best MHL video on RUclips. In the case of the MHL equipped TV, it appears you're using a 5 pin to 11 pin conversion adapter. I beleve an 11 pin passive MHL cable was also made available?
The BEST VIDEO about this topic. Thank you.
Thank you for your video!!!!
which one cable you would recommend for samsung galaxy pro 12.2?
Thank you for your answer in andvance!!!
Thanks for the helpful video. could you pls explain how to you use your TV remote control to control the connected phone? I have Panasonic LED.
Thanks for the video, I was missing the 5 pin to 11 pin adapter.
Within the first minute, you gave me the answer I had been searching for! Thank you!
Very neat and professional advice and demonstration. thank you
Jeremy I was very impressed with video I was looking for this info 2 years ago and never say this video. I came across it randomly last night. The video was so precise I liked a subscribed thank you
I have a question will this work on a LG K20 plus also will this setup, can i hook it up to my HD PVR 60 to record games on my phone.
Hi Jeremy, thanks for one of the few comprehensive videos on the subject. I have a LeTV X800, which is USB 3.0 Type C, MHL 3.0 and I intend to use with an HDTV without native MHL. What would be the combination of adapter / cable recommended? Adapters from Samsung and Sony, for example, work with any device compatible with mhl?
Hi Jeremy, I own a Samsung galaxy J5 2016, and have trouble on finding what cable works for me.
Have you any idea on what cable my phone is comparable with, or will I just get a Chromecast?
Thanks.
great video dude! thanks for the help.
Your video was very informative and helpful, thank you. I used a generic mhl adapter to connect my samsung galaxy s4 to a 3m sr1000 projector and needed info on mhl/hdmi adapters, worked out great.
5 Stars⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐!!!!! --- Superb video! Excellent job. Very detailed and perfectly complete! In fact, you even included a set of handy links for us to use. Love and Blessings to you and a THANKS! 🏁🏁🏁🏁🏁🏁🏁🏁🏁🏁🏁🏁
can I use my audio headphone jack to connect to speakers while screen being mirrored ? #audioOUTPUT
Thank you for the video, it was very helpful for me!
This works w/my HTC one m8, but when I put it in full screen on RUclips there's a huge lag in video compared to audio, and video quality decreases. Any idea why?
Hey, nice video, but i need some help. I am trying to mirror my Galaxy S5 on to my Dell laptop. How would this method work?
thank you,this really helped me.I was under the impression that ONLY the galaxy s3 needed the adapter,this clarified things for me
I have a LG.
4g and my TV is about two years old and its a TCP smart TV and has 3 HDMI I need to know where I can get the jack to hook it of my phone and but keep my phone on charge at the same time. Thanks. Like to hear back from you. I seen go response to you.
Well explained .....thanks a lot ..this answered all my questions !!!
Hi Jeremy, thanks for the video. Can something like this work to connect two phone screens? I want to show one phone's screen onto another. Any help is very greatly appreciated.
Will the sound come out of the TV? Or do you need to plug the phone into separate speakers ??
Thank you. I read a lot of information about what I needed but still couldn't figure it out. I guess I'm a visual learner because after watching this I get it!
This video was extremely helpful. Thank you very much!
Hello I am having an HDMI flat screen TV with analog input and output with a slimport phone how can I mirror my phone to the TV also what type of HDMI cable I would have to use for this
Jeremy - I am trying to connect my Amazon Fire 7 (9th Gen) to HDMI monitor (not TV). Have MHL adapter (micro USB to HDMI - powered) but monitor will not pick signal? I am doing this to turn the Fire 7 into a PC/Browser etc (using a BT keyboard/mouse combo)
Really need some help here iv tried to actually do all the steps with an mhl adapter close to the one your using but still havent been able to make this work. I bought this new off of wish and it does charge my phone also bought a new hdmi just to make sure it works and havent gotten it to work. I'm using a Samsung j3 and and not sure if this differs with TVs on the input for mhl to hdmi mirroring. What are your thoughts??
ok, I got a Rankie for MHL to HDMI adapter cable set for my Samsung Galaxy S5 Active. I noticed that you use a small adapter between the Rankie and phone. The Rankie I thought was an 11 pin. Is that not correct? Right now when I attempt to hook everything up nothing happens. Yours is the only site that states the small adapter is needed. All other sites state you just plug in and done. I cannot find the small adapter nor anything on the package that states the usb/Mhl is a 5 pin. Help. I really don't want to spend more money on another cable set if it will not work.
Hi, Thanks for your video....I want to mirror my tablet to my TV....TV is a Samsung Smart TV...Now since the aspect ratio of the tablet is 16:10 and TV is 16:9...I will see black bars on both sides....Will the MHL Adaprter resolve the issue and still project the full screen....In your video you have mirrored a phone which has a 16:9 aspect ratio...Ca n you please show how will we mirror a tablet with 16:10 aspect ratio....Tablet could be a Nexus 7 or Samsung Tab 4...Please suggest...Also can you give the exact name of the MHL Adapter...
Thank you for explaining the difference between active and passive MHL cables. I have a Samsung galaxy A71 which has the MHL capability but after trying so many HDMI to USBC cables I have been unsuccessful to connect my phone to my smart tv. All those cables worked with Galaxy S8 and up but none with my A71. Would you please tell me what brand or kind of HDMI to USBC cable I need to get to work with my galaxy A71. Many thanks, emilio
Same here
thanks for the help
Will this work for watching movies, tv shows though and app with out using WiFi? Only the internet that the phone provides?
If my phone, a Alcatel Flint, is not MHL compatible, what adapter do I get to make it compatible? On the pin adapter, do I need the 5? Any help is appreciated.
Help! I just connected to power source and it shut down my phone resulting in a hard reset. What could be my issue? Im worried I'll fry my phone or TV.
You got a new subscriber and thumbs up fr me tonight.
Great video. Thanks. This is to display on TV or pc-monitor from what is on your phone, phone/tablet - > monitor/TV. Am looking for a way to display on tablet what is on the pc-monitor (or TV). PC graphics cards having HDMI out port available.
I did as was explained in the video but my phone shuts down and says something went wrong and a blank screen pops us. apart from the connections do I have to download something for it to work?
Hi,
I have a question for the wire version. Can you turn off your phone and still able to cast it to the TV? I'm curious because I don't want my phone to overheat (emulation and having the screen on at the same time). Cheers
no, once you turn off ur phone, the tv will also
Hi, Im looking for something like Input will be my smart phone's LCD connector out and other end should be HDMI so that I can connect my smart phone to TV directly without having to cast etc. Basically, I want my Smart phone as CPU to my 55inch TV without casting/MHL cable(My phone won't support MHL out)
good video , thank you for taking the time , thumbs up
Do I need the otg adapter for my Samsung Galaxy s7? Or can I just buy the mhl adapter with the three connections?
How do u make it work after u plug everything up
Very helpful video showing how things work. Thanks.
By the way the number of pins in microUSB port depends... so some Samsung devices also use 5 pin and this even depends on region. I.e. Samsung SM-T311 devices for GB uses 11-pins ports and for the rest of the world use 5 pins.
Hello question I have a wire it is MHL and hdmi. When I connect all wire from my phone a note 5, to my tv, it is not working. I have the same wire you are talking about with pin 5 and 11.
Is there a way to only display parts of your mobile display to your screen?
How do I tell the difference between an 11 pin and 5 pin? I bought the mhl adapter but not the other small adapter so I'm basically stuck with telling the difference between the pins? Help plz
Hey Jeremy, i bought one similar to the black one, i plugged it into a power source and into my Note 3. i know you said i need a 5 pin to 11 pin converter, but the head fit perfectly into my phone which even started charging, but it didnt work. Do i need a converter in this converter? Is that why it didnt work?
ali fares Of course it'll fit. It's all micro-USB but as stated in the (both) videos, Samsung uses an 11-pin setup. Get the adapter.
does it also show the boot screen or when does it switch to hdmi? so it could be possible to troubleshoot a black screen issue on the phone
Nope. Only initializes once the system is up.
Thank you for your video
Would you please help me Wich adapter I need for my Coolpad legacy phone
It says it does not supports MHL thanks
will the active cable or adapter still work if my phone is not MHL?
Ok, so I've got a note 10+ and a note 8 spare , both with their factory included OTG adapter. I've got a pioneer avh-2330nex head unit in my truck. It doesnt support the mirrorlink in my phone or miracast or any of that. So it says. It also doesn't support android auto wireless. Question is , how do I mirror my phone to my pioneer, is there any way to take the required wired usb connection for android auto and make it wireless with some sort of wireless dongle? And would either or both jeopardize sound quality. Right now just running basic android auto wired with the music on my phone is basically flawless. Going just straight bluetooth even is impeccable, although I feel it is slightly lower quality than running through AA. So just curious what my options are. Surely theres a way to pull all this off. I'm just not as sharp in these areas as I'd like to be. If u got any tips I'd appreciate it
I just bought a cord like your red one that is powered I have a J3 Samsung Galaxy but I couldn't get any picture.Do you have any suggestions Thank you
@Tim A true. Not all devices will work. The device has to be MHL enabled.
Hi there, I have an huawei Medea t8 which is not Mhl compatible, is there anyway of connecting it to a HDMI socket, regards Paul.
very useful video. thanks a lot!
please let me know if the Blackberry Q10 is able or not to be connected via MHL
Thanks, will that red mhl cable work on a galaxy J7 Samsung?
Hey. I need your help.
If you can...
Have an LG V20 w/ unlimited data & laptop that i want to watch hulu & RUclips on.
Don't have Wi-Fi or house internet.
I see an mhl adapter will send it to a tv.... But. Will it also work for a laptop?
If that's right... how do i charge the phone and cast/mirror the screen while in use? I just can't figure out what to buy.
Out of the hundreds of pages read and videos watched, you explain things so that folks can understand them.
Or is there another solution you know of to make it easy?
Either way, Thanks for the time. Have a nice day.
I have an android lg stylus 6 , whats the name of the little piece that can get on ebay for 5$ dollars?
i would like to ask where did you purchase the hdmi to micro 5 pin cable. Because my samsung is using 5 pin instead of 11 pin. Or where can i find a 5 pin to 11 pin adapter.
Read the description.
Thanks. Great video.
i tried this on a still working 2007 Panasonic viera plasma TV, that after all these years still works fine...it didn't work. . Either tv is too old or adapter is rubbish?
Can we do this with projector 📽???
Good video, but I am uncertain which cable I need. Do ALL Samsung devices use 11 pin or does it vary? The device I'm looking to use is the Note 8.0 tablet, but I can't find any information on how to find out which one I need.
Lauriic54 The Note 8 uses MHL v3.0, 11 pin.
I have a TCL roku tv
and a ZTE Max pro phone. I bought the usb-c to HDMI adapter. Do how do I get it to work on my TV to watch movies from my pH? Plz plz help.
I also heard that i could control my phone hooked up the the MHL adapter using my other phone. Do you know how that can be done. BTW i have a LG G3 the S3 is hooked up the MHL adapter
Beast of Bmore Have never heard of that.
Ok so I know the Galaxy J3 isn't MHL but do you know what adapter you would need to connect to an HDMI adapter?
I keep seeing online that the J3 is MHL compatible. So I'm really confused.
Anyone can connect samsung j3 thru mhl adapter and success?
Thank you this was is a good video, really helped :)
LG v10, which cords do I use, hml or no hml, please help
What about a 11pin to 5pin adapter do they have those cause I bought the wrong adapter for my phone. I need 5 the cord I bought is 11
can you tell me the way how to connect my samsung galaxy tab s3 to projector? I have tried many usb type c to hdmi converters. that doesn't work. do you know a way ?
can I use some cable that will works without mhl support? (via wire, no cast wireless)
ok I visited the mhl website. I have a galaxy s3 sch-968c (straight talk) the "note" says needs a 5 pin to 11 pin adapter. so does that mean that if I have an mhl to hdmi adapter and its not working, it could be because of this 5 to 11 pin adaptee?
+Colt Denny Yes.
Hello
The 11-pin converter does not enter my phone
It is a samsung grand prime
How can I fix this please?
My MHL Adapter is not working
Do I need to purchase an HDMI converter as well?
Thanks for the explanation in detail
WoW, that explains a lot.............THX

is mhl adaptor supports samsung galaxy j3 2016?
hi there thanks for the video. but i have a question. I damaged my phone to the point where my lcd does not work (note 3). so i cant see anything on my phone but i know it is functional cause i still hear things when i press on the damaged screen or when i adjust the volume etc. i cant do screen mirroring because obviously i cant navigate anything on my phone. my question is if i get this adapter will it automatically show up on TV or will i have to still choose options that require me to navigate through my phone? which i am unable to because again its broke i cant see anything on my phone. As soon as i plug everything in will it just show up on the TV? in your video it seems to just automatically show up on TV but im not sure if you had to do anything on your phone the first time you connected to a TV. please let me know. thanks
+MJ Sibayan it just shows up not sure if you got a response..once connected properly it shows up
Very informative thanks
Will the Active MHL adapter works with phone that is not MHL supported ??or is there any way that the phone would become MHL supported? Thanks..
Hi. I tried but its not working on my samsung tab a 2016 and sony tv . I even plugged in battery charger as well but i dont have the little square that goes first into my tablet because i could not catch the name of it and my mhl adapter went straig to my tablet with no problems. Also i got a cable sign on my mhl 2 plug on the tv but no pics or screen was mirrored. Really dont know what else to do. Pleas help. Zoe
Uau. Valeu mesmo. Curti muito seu vídeo.
Thanks, very enjoyable and under standing . My problem is my TV is LG, how to connect to my andnold smart phone please help, thanks
Jeremy, thank you for the useful information. My device, however (Motorola Droid Razor M), is not supported by MHL. Do you know of any alternatives for projecting from this phone or screen mirroring?
+Kevin Love Chromecast, screen mirror apps like "Screen Stream".
+Jeremy Phan
Thanks. I'll try that.
Could use it with out ur tv use ur phone screen to play video games
So I’m a little confused! Lol can I use a regular hdmi cord or do I need an hml ?
Lot of people get confused. Ok so back of your tv..if it has logos for MHL , all you need to do is plug your small "charger/micro " end to your phone anx the other end,should be HDMI ,plug straight up and ready. If you don't have a cord with you're phone connector on one side and HDMI on the other... Walmart and best buy sells them . Also Amazon. ... but
If your tv doesn't have MHL logo by the HDMI port, the you'll have to get the MHL adaptor. Which is almost the same except it has the little box that contains the tech that your tv doesn't...BUTTTT
If your phone doesn't have the MHL compatible technology ,then neither of those will work.
Website MeetMHL will have a list of phones that carry it. You can check that or Google your phone info. If it has it then you're good.Just find out which ports your tv has.
hey! nice video... but I have a monitor without audio output.
how use it for watching videos on RUclips ?
I get it ,we can mirror it but how to get audio ??
my phone ISNT listed on the website, but i know it supports this MHL HDMI. i have an huawei honor 6.
does the TV need to have this MHL support too, or can u just plug to any HDMI port on the TV
As stated, it works with any HDMI display.
+Jeremy Phan
