Samsung MHL Cable. Where to buy?

Hi,
Am after a Samsung MHL cable.

Have looked around on the internet, but haven't had any luck finding one. They don't even come up in eBay

If someone knows a site that stocks them & posts internationally, that would be great.

Thanks
 
I got one on Amazon for £19.99 - genuine Samsung product - works great tho you do have to plug things in in a certain order for the tv to recognise the phone.
 
I've got one and yes, it's fine and feels perfectly well made.

It looks a bit smaller than the Samsung one too. I've only seen photos of that though.

I clearly can't comment on its longevity as I've only had it a week.
 
This is probably a stupid question, but can you play videos and bring up photos recorded on the phone on your TV with an MHL cable? :confused:

I've not tried it, but no, I don't believe you can.

The micro USB socket on the side of the MHL adapter is just for power. I do not believe that it is possible for the USB/MHL port to act as both at the same time.
 
You need to connect the mhl adapter to the tv with a hdmi cable but once thats done you have full mirroring - anythying you can see on the phone's screen will appear on the tv. The only thing I've noticed though is that it slightly crops the top and bottom edges of the screen.
