Show phone screen on DLNA HDTV

I want to show my entire EVO 3D phone screen on a DLNA capable HDTV. Basically anything I'm doing on the phone I want to display on the large screen. Can somebody point me in the right direction?
 
I think, for this you'll need a HDMI connection to your TV.
For my Sensation there is a MHL cable (microUSB to HDMI).
The EVO 3D should have the same.

DLNA transfer only files to the TV. The TV does the video decoding.

Thanks Harry. I don't want a long cable draped across the room. I'd prefer the connection be wireless.

As I said, DLNA transfers only the video files, the decoding does the TV.

For your demand (showing the whole phone display on TV) the video signal itself (decoded with the phone) has to transfered to the TV.

I play videos using a DLNA server app, like Skifta on the phone.
The phone is the source for media files (videos, music, photos) and the output is the TV (connected to my network). No cables on the way.

This isn't possible wirelessly. It may be possible with an hdmi cable, but you would need to be rooted, running a custom rom and custom hdmi kernal, and someone needs to develop an hdmi mirroring app for the evo 3d. And I'm almost positive if all of this were to happen, there would be no way to mirror the whole phone in 3d, just 2d.
