You cannot find, or you forgot to google ?
The note hs HDMI over MHL.
So you need to buy the cable

Yes I know it has hdmi out as I have found that on Google and eBay I'm talking about standard old Samsung TV out via 3.5mm so I can use it with my vuzix wrap

Yes it supports TV out. You need to buy an MHL adapter though. That said, it works like a charm. However, it does bog down the performance of the device (except when playing movies) because it's having to do the processing for two displays instead of one. Playing games, or web browsing, etc will be noticeably slower. However, if all you're using it is for media output, you should have no problems.
You can usually get your hands on an MHL adapter for about $20 or less.

I'm thinking about buying a HDMI MHL "cable", but have anyone here tried this one or this one? Do we need a specific MHL cable, or can we use all of them?
Edit: Found the original Samsung MHL cable for 20 Euros, so i think i'll go with that instead. It says its for SII and Galaxy Nexus, so i guess it'll work with the Note too.

Either of the one that you listed should work just fine. There's really little/no difference between those and the official Samsung one because MHL is an open standard, and hence will be compatible across many different platforms and vendors.

OK! Thanks

Now, here's a tip for possibly getting your official Samsung MHL adapter for free: Go to your local AT&T store and ask the rep if they still have the accessories for their Infuse 4G display unit. Normally they send those all back to corporate, but if you're lucky, they may still have theirs, and since corporate just throws them away anyhow, the store had no issues with just giving me their spare MHL adapter for free

I set it up with external power but couldn't get it to work. The phone switched to CLOCK.

Would a cheap $11 eBay MHL adapter work well or do we have to fork out $40 for the Samsung one?

I bought a (what would be about) $9usd cable in a small store in Hong Kong, and it works perfectly.
You have to plug the power part in first (I have a power bank thing which works well), then the micro usb into the phone, and then the phone will start outputting. Don't just plug in the microusb->hdmi and then the power, that didn't work for me and I spent a while trying to figure it out. I haven't noticed any additional lag at all.
Everything is displayed. When the phone is in portrait mode (e.g. launcher) the TV will have lots of black on either side. When playing videos landscape, it takes up the full tv screen. Sound is also output.

my tv does not have hdmi and only have the traditional red/yellow/white input. Is there any cable to connect my note to my old fashioned tv?

You can probably get some kind of HDMI to component converter, but with hdmi being digital the signal will need to be converted to analog so it will be expensive.

the price you will pay for that best you buy a new tv because the convertor sucks trust me when i say so..... a proper convertor will run 100 bucks plus even then the tv can handle the HD res so it will flicker and blank in and out or dont shows at all... spend 129 and get a nice 27" or higher native hdmi monitor...

Well, now you have one more reason. Also, a 15" CRT (ie. the old-style tube) TV consumes several times more electricity than even a 40" LCD/LED one so you're only doing a disservice to yourself by using it.

How to turn off screen using hdmi out? as battery consumption is so high even the charger cant keep up when streaming video.

I'm also having problems with my MHL adapter.
I bought this one http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B005KJYMSC/ref=oh_o00_s02_i00_details
from amazon, as it was cheap says specifically it is compatible with the Note.
But it doesn't work, my TV just says no signal. I have the charger plugged into it, I have my 3g turned off. Everything seems right, but it wont work. I'm rather annoyed.
I have a feeling, that despite it saying so on the listing, it is infact not compatible with the Note. It says on the packaging max resolution 1280x720p... so that could well be the problem.
Moral of the story, buy the official Samsung one and save yourself the bother!

Guys,
I would like to connect my note to my car radio (7 inch screen) which has video in RCA cable.
I bought this:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=261025098138&ssPageName=ADME:X:RTQ:US:1123
However, it does not work when I try it on my TV. It says 'no signal'. I was told by the seller that the Note does not have the TV out option as opposed to the S2 for example. I've checked the specs on the samsung galaxy website (TV out for S2, no TV out for Note in the connectivity list).
So, is there a specific cable like MHL to RCA that I could use?
Thanks

I got the original samsung mhl adapter from a very nice fellow here on xda for $10 shipped, he had a bunch of them he was giving away, I tried it on my S2 (Note on CM9 doesn't do MHL) and other note was broken.
Once I get both my notes back I can update the thread with more info.

MHL cable anywhere?

Has anyone found a compatible mhl cable to order?
Sent from my LG-P880

I've tried Samsung and HTC cable but the quality is not top notch. The television says the signal is 720p but it looks kind of blurry... anyone have any information on the video quality outputted from the phone?

This one works over here.

I tryed my old MHL cable adaptor (bought some months ago for my old SGS2) and the video quality it's great but no digital audio from device. :'(
Some other people tryed other adaptor?

Samsung works great
I bought the one from Samsung original, amazing 1080p quality, best I ever saw on my 40 inch television.
It's the one that samsung offers for S2 and S3 and it works really perfect, no lag, no glitches and it gives amazing high quality.

But Samsung has different cables for S2 and S3... I have MHL adaptor for S2 and it works perfectly with P880. With sound of course...

Is there a way to wirelessly mirror content? I think the SGS3 can do this with a special apparatus or something.

I retried it and great video and audio. Sorry. But only in 720P. My TV it's HD-Ready and not FULL-HD.
My MHL adapter it's a simple model compatible with GS2 and I bought on eBay one year ago. I payed it only 10 euros.

I can see some of you having success in display it on the TV
but I have try two different MHL adapter (I dont know if it is for S2 or S3 but I can;t seem to get it work on a computer monitor with HDMI
are there any sitting I need to change or apps that I need to install???

Maybe some settings in the hidden menu will do the trick for those where it doesn't work (not tested, since I don't own a MHL-Adapter)
Type: 3845#*880# in the phone app and the hidden menu will open. Scroll to the end and choose "HDMI Resolution Test"
There are some Settings, maybe something will make the Adapter work

will try

Hey,
I am occurring the same problem, and its annoying, but credit to Hidden92 in the "resolution" menu under "HDMI Resolution Test" , i have changed resolution to any of them and only once the email on my Samsung TV appeared.
Also i have noticed that the settings that i am selecting doesnt saved and each time i am getting into "HDMI Resolution Test" menu , the settings rolled back to default.
Well...
Anyway , you should try to do this , the less it will work for you
=====EDIT======
I have managed to Play movies using MHL cable.
it has been some connector problem, i have moved the cable abit left to right and it begin to work.

Hey MrWunderbaum,
I own 4X and using Generic MHL cable 1080p that was bough for 15$.
Everything works fine.
You should try.
In Addition, LG owns their own MHL cables , but they are abit more expensive.

I tried and mhl 3M cable that is supposed to charge the cell phone while you project, but the problem is that it must be connected to energy to work. the cable is supposed to be designed for samsung SIII and SII

Sorry for hijacking this thread a little bit and pardon my rant.
Not too long ago i bought a mini HDMI to HDMI cable for my Optimus 3D. But now im using 4X, I can't help but feel i've been f**king trolled by LG somewhat cause that cable i had is now utterly useless. Instead they are using this MHL cable.
i mean, why can't they put a mini HDMI port for the good of saving the planet and our wallets like what they are doing for microUSB?
I've got few questions in mind. Are they going to introduce another cable for their next line-up? Is this MHL port here to stay? Nobody wants to spend 30 bucks buying a cable and to have it put out of the picture by the time he change phone next year.

MHL will stay I guess. Mini-HDMI is actually quite useless, it is necessary to add an additional port to the phone for something that can be done using the already existing one (less places where dust can get into the device). The only problem is the high price for MHL cables (The mini-HDMI adapter for my O2X was about 3€).

Cheap and good
I use this: http://goo.gl/13LEr
Play 1080p and Netflix for HD TV very well.

I have ordered myself S2 mhl adapter that also has seperate charging port. I dont need long wire as i already have long hdmi cable connected to tv, so i just needed smaller adapter to connect to tv hdmi cable. Hope it works - mhl + charging
Check out the 1 i ordered (already shipped ) :

[Q] MHL display low resolution problem

Hi! I am having some problems with my brand new HTC One - I connected it to my 1080p monitor using an MHL -> HDMI adapter(one of the cheap ones from Amazon) and the resolution of the screen is locked at 640x480 60Hz. There is no option on the phone to change it.
I used to use the same adapter with my Galaxy Nexus before, and it would display 720p just fine - and since the HTC One has a full HD screen I expected to use Full HD resolution over MHL as well.
Is that possible? Has anyone done it personally?
Cheers

Doesn't quite work like that m8, the S3 had similar issues, I tried on different TV's and got different results, on my LG 47inch 3D TV i get 1080 at 30hz and on my panasonic viera 32inch 3D TV i get 720 @ 60hz. So not 100% as to why but try a different TV, you may get better results, I personally couldn't find a setting to alter it.
I've been holding off buying an MHL as there was latency issues causing delay on the S3, I didn't want to waste money and get my hopes up if it was going to be the same thing on the One.

I bought the MHL 5 pin adapter few days ago and returned it today because it was simply crap. The micro usb port did not work, however the sound/video did but the battery would get drained fast I could watch 1 full movie with about 30% battery left so I had to charge after that.
I ordered the HTC media link now and will try how that works, from what I have heard and seen it seems 10x better than the MHL adapter and it should since it costs quite a bit more than the MHL adapter

[Q] MHL Lag with official Samsung Adapter

Has anybody tried the official Samsung MHL adapter with the Note 3 yet? I picked one up and it is laggy. The tv displays exactly what is on the phone but when hooked up to MHL the phone seems to lag. As in, if I look at the phone's screen it is lagging behind too. When I unplug the MHL cable, it stops lagging. Tried with some games and even the line that follows your fingers using swype lags. Anybody else try this and have this issue?

Note 3 has MHL?
I plugged it in with my MHL cable that came with my home theater receiver and nothing came up on screen.
On my Optimus G I just plug the cable in to the micro USB and bam it works.
Do we really need a special adapter?

If it is a normal MHL cable you need the 5 pin to 11 pin adapter Samsung sells. I think I may have figured out my issue. Looks like I purchased the universal MHL 1 adapter from Samsung. Last night I ordered the MHL 2.0 adapter which hopefully will work out better as I've seen videos of people playing games without lag.

How'd the new one work out? I am using a Chinese one I used with my gs3 and its perfect for videos but with games there is a fraction of a second lag that makes playing Mario impossible.
If better mhl cable fixed ur issue let us know thanks.

The newer MHL 2.0 adapter has a higher refresh rate so that should resolve your problem.

Samsung DeX Support

I'm wondering what we will see for DeX support on the S10+. I just ordered the 1TB/12G version, I'm hoping it will drive my Dell UltraSharp U3818DW 38" monitor at 3840 X 1600. My current S9+ is driving my Dell U2713HM at 2560 X 1440 through the DeX Doc.
Anyone have experience using DeX at high resolutions? I'd like to know if the limitations come from the the DeX Doc or the DeX Cable. Is there any chance that the S10 Plus will be able to work directly with displays via USB Type-C ?

Some observations on the S9+ after the update to Android 9 Pie.
#1 The S9+ no longer requires the DeX Doc to go into DeX mode, but it won't provide full resolution with just a cable. The display resolutions are limited to 1920X1080 or 1600X900
#2 You can use a USB-C cable (Version 3.1 Thunderbolt type) to go straight from the phone into a USB-C port on your monitor. You don't need any type of HDMI cable.
#3 If you use the Samsung DeX doc over HDMI, I'm able to get 21:9 UWQHD @ 3440X1440. This is really great, but it's still not giving me the native 3840X1600 that my LG38UC99 supports.
I'm really hoping the S10+ will support 3840X1600 over USB-C via a straight through USB-C Thunderbolt cable.

Galaxy S9+ on Android 9 Pie
I have the Samsung DeX Pad (EE-M5100TBEGUS) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B079TL2TGY/
I also have the TOPOINT USB C to HDMI Adapter for Samsung DeX https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07DZYLVKN/
Both of these doc solutions work fine with the S9+. I've tried other USB-C to HDMI cables, as well as a straight through USB-C to USB-C cables. Android 9 has enabled DeX support for pretty much everything I've tried. If you plug the Samsung USB-C power adapter into the DeX Pad or TOPOINT device, you get the larger screen resolutions choices for DeX.
I have 2 large 38" monitors.
Dell U3818DW
LG 38UC99-W
The maximum resolution for these monitors is 21:9 format @ 3840 x 1600 pixels. These are the exact same LCD display, just slightly different packaging between LG and Dell.
When I use the Samsung DeX Pad on the LG 38UC99-W, I get a 3440 x 1440 display resolution on DeX.
If I use the exact same doc and cables with the Dell U3818DW, I only get WQXGA 2560 X 1600. For some reason, the 3440 x 1440 option is greyed out.
#1 Has anyone ever used a DeX device @ 3840 x 1600?
#2 Why the heck would there be a difference between the Dell and LG monitors. It seems very odd that I can't select 3440 X 1440 on the Dell?
#3 Is there any hope that my soon-to-be Galaxy S10+ 1TB/12GB will give me full resolution support of 3840 x 1600 on DeX?
#4 Are there any apps or hacks that will enable the greyed out resolutions or hidden resolutions?
It would be nice if the mods here would start a dedicated DeX area.

I bought this adapter https://www.amazon.fr/dp/B07919ZNB4/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_K7TECb39R1THT hope this will works !!

In order to use the highest resolutions you need to use the pad or the dock station for heat reasons. Both have a fan in order to cool down the device. With my Note 9 I handle 3440x1440 on my Dell monitor.

Which Dell monitor do you have that is giving you 3440x1440?
I have an LG 38UC99-W and a Dell U3818DW. They are the exact same LCD panel. No matter what I try, I can't get 3440x1440 on the Dell. I've used the exact same doc/cable/adapters on both monitors. Both the S9+ and the S10+ will only output WQXGA 2560 X 1600 on the Dell. For some reason, the 3440 x 1440 option is greyed out.
Your advise to use the pad or dock for heat is good, but other adapters work fine. You must provide power to the USB-C port to gain access to the higher resolutions.

I have the Dell U3415W.

Pushing a monitor that does 3840x1600 from a smartphone is rare. Maybe 5%-10% of DEX users even have such an expensive monitor. I'd say more than 50% of DEX users have a 16:9 or 16:10 monitor at least. Also, the screen ratio of a 3840x1600 resolution is 12:5 unlike the more common 21:9.
