Connectivity

With the increasing use of smart devices, from smartphones to tablets to TVs and cameras, Samsung is leading the way in connectivity between devices.

MHL technology enables users to connect MHL-enabled smartphones, such as the Galaxy S II and Galaxy Note, to the monitor, to view content on a bigger screen and in a higher resolution. MHL allows users to enjoy games, videos, pictures and other content on the move and then easily connect their mobile device to a monitor with the convenient MHL cable included with the monitor. Therefore, users can start watching a movie on their mobile device while on their way home from work then finish watching the movie in stunning Full HD when they reach the comfort of their home, by simply plugging in the cable and continuing where they left off. The MHL cable which connects the micro USB output of the mobile to HDMI input in the monitor also supports 1080p HD video and digital audio while simultaneously provides power to the mobile device.
