Use an MHL Adapter for HDMI Mirroring Benefits
Benefits of MHL to HDMI Mirroring
The big benefit of using MHL rather than a straight HDMI to HDMI connection is that unlike HDMI, MHL is a bi-directional connection. Data flows one way, and power flows the other. MHL Cable uses the portable device's micro-USB connector rather than its HDMI out so that it can charge the device while playing video. This makes it a much more viable solution for those looking for something they can just use without worrying about battery levels.
Using an MHL Adapter for HDMI Mirroring
Using an MHL adapter is staggeringly simple. The user just plugs one end of the MHL cable into an MHL TV and the other into the portable device's USB port and waits for the connection to initialize. Unfortunately, there are a few compatibility and technology issues that users need to take into consideration before hooking everything up.
Choosing the Right Kind of MHL Adapter
There are two main kinds of MHL adapter: powered and unpowered. The unpowered connector, which is often described as passive, or sometimes called just an MHL connector, looks like a simple cable with a USB connector on one end and HDMI on the other. It is the simplest choice but requires a TV with MHL support.
The other option is to use a powered adapter. A powered MHL adapter provides a pass-through for an Buy HDMI Cable from the portable device to the TV while feeding power back to the portable device. This has the advantage of working with any HDMI-equipped TV although it does need to be plugged into the wall to work. For most users, a powered MHL adapter is the better choice.

Why Use an HDMI Switcher for Entertainment Systems?
HDMI Splitter allows set-top boxes, DVD players, D-VHS players and other HDTV devices with HDMI outputs to be connected to two or more HDTV displays. HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface) is the newest kind of digital audio and video connector used by DVD players, TV sets and video monitors. The High-Definition Multimedia Interface (HDMI) is a compact audio/video connector interface for transmitting uncompressed digital streams. The advantage of HDMI connector is that it uses a single cable instead of several cables when connecting your device with HDMI output to your HDTV display. HDMI video splitter format is compatible with DVI. You can use HDMI to DVI converter and vice-versa for various applications. HDMI Splitter supports 720i, 720p and 1080p resolutions. HDMI Video Splitter unit supports HDCP compliant devices and has simple plug and play functionality.
HDMI cables have become the standard for all home entertainment systems. However, HDMI is a fairly recent development in home entertainment. It is not uncommon to have a large, flat-screen plasma TV that only has one HDMI port. But with all the different HDMI media source possibilities, including Blu-ray players, DVD players, Apple TV, Roku and satellite connections, you will need several HDMI ports. Rather than dropping thousands of dollars on a new TV just to get more HDMI ports, an HDMI switcher will expand the number of ports and automatically switch between the media sources.
The HDMI hubs function much like a power strip, except for HDMI cables. You simply connect the media sources to the HDMI box with an HDMI cable, and then connect the box to the TV or projector. The optimum sound and visual quality on either side of the HDMI switch box is up to 25 feet. After all the media sources are connected to the TV, the switch box with detect any changes in the power and adjust the display accordingly. For example, if you are playing XBOX and turn on your DVD player, the HDMI switching selector will automatically change the display on the TV and show the movie. However, some media sources do not completely power down and are constantly running. The HDMI Switcher does not recognize the power changes when this is the case. Most media sources have factory settings that can be changed to make the automatic switch compatible.
Which Type HDMI Switcher We Need Look For
Because most of the HDMI switchers have very similar feature sets and construction, it can be difficult to determine which one is going to work best for you. After testing and reviewing a large variety of different HDMI hubs, we compiled a list of the best features offered to compare best HDMI Splitter hubs.
Features
Most of the HDMI switchers are compatible with all types of HDMI cables, including high-speed and even the latest 1.4 versions. However, some of the HDMI hubs do not have infrared (IR) receivers and do not come with remotes. These switchers aren't compatible with universal remotes. Some HDMI switchers don't come with a power supply; they use the HDMI cable for power. However, when using some high-powered devices, like certain Blu-ray players, these switchers did not work as well. We suggest purchasing an HDMI hub with both a power supply and a remote. Some of the most full-featured HDMI switchers are the Monoprice, Cmple and Masscool models.
Ease of Use
In this section we review how simple it is to set up and use each HDMI switch box. We look at how simple it is to switch between the different media sources. We also review the construction and aesthetics of each different device.
Help & Support
We review all the different customer service options offered by the manufacturers. We test each support option including email, chats and telephone support. We also evaluate the manufacturer’s warranty. When purchasing an HDMI Switcher, it is important to have avenues of customer support to help with installation and other issues.

HDMI vs. DVI: Differences and Similarities
Before continuing further with our discussion on HDMI Cables wholesale, it would be appropriate at this point to bring out the main similarities and differences between these two digital standards. Both are very closely related in that HDMI uses the same digital encoding scheme used by DVI-D in the transport of digital video.
This explains why all that is required to interconnect a DVI device with HDMI-enabled equipment, is a simple DVI-to-HDMI cable adaptor with a DVI-D plug on one end and an HDMI connector on the other. In this case however, digital audio will have to be carried separately since DVI does not support audio over the same interconnect. This would not be the case in an 'all' HDMI-to-HDMI cable, where the digital audio signal is carried along with the digital video over the same cable.
However, out of the different DVI flavors, HDMI is only compatible with DVI-D format. In other words, there's no way to adapt an analog VGA signal to go in through an HDMI connection as is possible with a DVI-I interface.
Other important differences include:
HDMI cable connectors are substantially smaller than the 37.0 mm wide DVI plug.
The DVI standard was originally developed to be used by PCs, while Mini HDMI Adapter was developed by some of the major electronics manufacturers for use in consumer electronic products such as DVD players and digital televisions.

Tall you about HDMI cable buying guide
Which store has the best deals on HDMI cables? Which Web site has the best selection? Which HDMI cable is right for your TV?
Answers to these questions, and more, in the definitive (if I do say so myself) HDMI cable buyers guide:
First off, cheap cables will produce the exact same picture and sound quality as expensive cables. Check out our HDMI Cables wholesale trilogy: " Why all HDMI cables are the same ," " Why all HDMI cables are the same, Part 2 ," " Still more reasons why all HDMI cables are the same " and " 4K HDMI cables are nonsense ." These articles go into extensive detail about how HDMI cables work, and why by their very nature, you're either getting a perfect image, or no image at all.
Type
When it comes to TVs, there are four kinds of HDMI cables:
High speed with Ethernet
High speed without Ethernet
Standard speed with Ethernet
Standard speed without Ethernet
Standard speed cables can handle up to 1080i. High speed can handle definition far beyond 1080p. Here's the thing: the price difference is negligible, so only buy high-speed cables. Most HDMI cables you'll find in a store are high-speed cables.
Very few products have Ethernet-over-HDMI compatibility, so it's not likely you need to pay extra for the feature in the cable. If you want to "future proof" your system slightly, then that's your call. For most people, though, I don't see the point. Again, the price difference is marginal, so it's not a big deal either way. If you're sure your equipment has Ethernet-over-HDMI compatibility, then of course check out those HDMI cables. That likelihood is small, though.
The short version: Buy high speed without Ethernet and don't worry about the other types.
Keep in mind a few things: There is no such thing as an "HDMI 1.4" cable , nor do you need a special cable for 3D , 120 or 240Hz , or Audio Return Channel (ARC).
There is no loss in picture quality over long distances. However, there will be a point where you just don't get a picture anymore. So if you're not sure if 6 feet is long enough, go for 10 feet. It shouldn't cost that much more money.
Although HDMI 2.0 is coming, there aren't many products that support it yet . More importantly, current HDMI cables will work with HDMI 2.0. This ties in to the article mentioned above, but it's worth repeating: 4K HDMI cables are nonsense .
One thing to consider, regardless of length, is an active cable. RedMere technology and other active cables allow for thinner cables, or really long cables. These can be more expensive, but depending on how or where you're installing them, sometimes a tiny flexible cable works better even if it costs a little more.

Why we should use HDMI Cable?
Simply, because it's the best and most convenient audio/video connection
you can buy. For practical purposes, HDMI is also the only way you can
experience 1080p "full HD" video in your home.* This means that if you
want to enjoy the full video potential of sources like Blu-ray players,
HD set-top boxes and upconverting DVD players, you must connect each of
them with an HDMI Cable.
There are a host of reasons why HDMI is superior to other connections:
All-digital signal transfer
Unlike older kinds of video interconnect cables such as component video, S-video and composite video, HDMI carries an uncompressed, all-digital representation of the data transmitted between components. Since the vast majority of this information originates in digital form and is displayed digitally on today's HDTVs, the HDMI interface eliminates the need for complex digital-to-analog and analog-to-digital processing stages before and after the cable connection, so the information remains in its purest form throughout the signal chain. The end result is an essentially perfect transference of all picture information for consistently dazzling image quality.
One-cable convenience
HDMI offers the same all-digital signal transfer for audio signals — up to eight simultaneous channels of high-resolution audio, that is — and it does so within the same single cable/connector configuration. Before HDMI, you'd need as many as three individual video cables, plus at least one individual audio cable, just to hook up a single audio/video component to your TV. With HDMI, all that information travels flawlessly through a single, reliable Best HDMI Cable. In today's typical home theater, with its multiple source devices (cable and satellite boxes, Blu-ray and DVD players, gaming consoles, etc.), this translates to a much cleaner, less confusing system of wires behind the scenes.
Near-universal implementation
The surging popularity of HDTV and other high-definition technologies has made the HDMI connection a de facto standard on wide array of consumer electronics products. Today, virtually every HDTV, projector, receiver, DVR, Blu-ray player and cable or satellite box sold comes standard with at least one HDMI connection. You'll also find HDMI on multimedia PCs, laptops, gaming consoles, camcorders and digital still cameras, to name a few.
