If you have a smart phone or tablet, chances are you have content or media on those devices that you would love to be able to view on your television. The Accell MHL adapter allows you to do this without any apps or software needed.

MHL = Mobile High Definition Link

I recently received the Accell MHL to HMDI Adapter to review with my Samsung Galaxy s2. I was excited to see if this product was as simple to use than it sounded. I’ve learned if it sounds too good to be true, than it probably is. To my surprise, using the Accell MHL Adapter was not only easy to use but it was great to finally see my media on my phone displayed on my large screen TV.

MHL Adapter Easy Set Up

Connect your Accell MHL Adapter to the HDMI cable and your smart phone/tablet. Connect your HDMI cable to the television and you are ready to go. This process only took a few minutes and the best part about it, no software or apps needed.

Connect Your Phone to Your TV

Once you set up your Accell MHL Adapter, you are able to watch any media from your phone/tablet on your TV. Watch your favorite You Tube videos, listen to Pandora, or view pictures in your gallery.

Continue to Use Device While Connected to TV

Even when your cell phone or tablet is connected to the TV, you are still able to receive phone calls, text or use the device as you would while not connected. If you’re like me, you always wanted to be connected and never want to miss a text or email. This feature allows you to have the best of both worlds.

Charge Your Phone While in MHL Mode

I live on my phone and tablet. It may be an obsession, but because of this my phone’s battery is always low. It never fails, a few hours into my day my phone battery is drained. The idea of my phone being charged while in MHL mode, makes me happy. It’s like killing two birds with one stone.

The Accell MHL Adapter has proven to be easy and fun to play with. I’ve enjoyed being able to watch videos on my big screen TV and share pictures with my friends easily. If you’re looking for a simple way to turn your TV into a Media Player, then check out the Accell MHL Adapter.
