video output for Samsung Stratosphere?

I'm looking to possibly upgrade and get a Samsung Stratosphere phone for my Verizon account. There is one feature/question about this phone I am trying to find out about though.

Can a cable/adapter of some kind be connected to it to allow it's video to be played back on a standard TV? I'd like to be able to watch video records and/or Netflix on a TV if desired. I'm not seeing any kind of mention of this ability in the manual & can't seem to find a video cable for a "Stratospher". Now, the Verizon website does mention that this phone seems to essentially be a "Galaxy S" phone and I was able to find video cables for Galaxy S phones. Could I simply use the same cable for this Stratosphere phone? Or is there no video out capability on the Stratosphere?





 
A cable for HDMI via microUSB needs a litle MHL device on it.
So you should look in the phone's specs for MHL.

These MHL cables aren't a problem, I use a Galaxy's for my HTC :)

so even if there isn't an HDMI output plug you can use this adapter cable to transfer the image to the tv? I take it you just don't get the images in HD then?

My phone has only its microUSB connector as HDMI output, but it need an adapter -this MHL cable- to connect to the TV's HDMI input.
The phone's screen is 1:1 on the TV's screen, so it can't be HD :(

Note, in the phone's specs you have to see 'microUSB for MHL', a standard microUSB hasn't this MHL to HDMI feature.

So far, I'm not seeing 'microUSB for MHL' in the Samsung Stratosphere specs so I'm assuming it can't be output to any kind of monitor/TV. Or can anybody else confirm this phone has the MHL feature?
