If you are tired of watching TV on small
screen of the mobile devices, there are two solutions to sending video from
your small screen to your big screen. One way is by wireless devices, such as Apple
TV, Google Chromecast. However, it obviously will cost a lot. Plus, if your
wireless network doesn’t offer a strong signal, the wireless streaming will
never be the best option. The other way to streaming video from your phone to
TV is by an HDMI cable, and in some cases, an adapter.
How
to connect an Android smartphone or tablet to TV?
Most Android mobile devices support streaming
videos to an HDTV through Mobile High Definition Link, or MHL. In this case, if
your HDTV happened to have MHL built in, all you need is a micro USB-to-HDMI cable.
The MHL Consortium publishes a partial listof MHL-supported devices on its website. If you don't see your mobile
device listed, check with the manufacturer. Older TV HDMI ports don't
include MHL, so you'll need an MHL-to-HDMI adapter to supply the power, such as
Koopower’s $8.98 microUSB-to-HDMI MHL adapter. You may need to plug your
device's charger into the adapter to provide extra power.
How
to connect an Apple mobile device to TV?
Apple sells its Lightning Digital AV
Adapter that can help you do that. Actually, it just likes any other HDMI
adapter: on one end, there is a lightning plug and on the other end is an HDMI
port. Then you only need an HDMI cable to go from the adapter to your TV’s HDMI
port and the TV doesn’t even need to support MHL. However, Apple doesn’t sell
an adapter for its older devices like iPhone 4/4S. As The $49 Lightning
adapters work with all iPhones, iPads and iPod touches with
the Lightning port. If you want to stream the video in your iPhone 4/4S
to TV, Koopower’s $16.99 30-pin digital AV adapter will meet your demand.
