The Dongle is only if you want to charge your phone while outputting HDMI, otherwise you can just use the micro-usb to HDMI cable directly, but it wont charge. So playing back the 1080p video, maybe your phones battery lasts less than 4h.

Yeah 1080p movies can be found below 9GB on the BitTorrents. 720p movies usually below 4.5GB. A phone that supports ext3 MicroSD cards could play that back, or perhaps even better, stream from your multi-terrabyte Upnp/DLNA/Samba local file sharing from your $99 2TB NAS.

Excellent work, Charbax! I hadn’t heard of MHL before now. And it raises several questions:

1) TVs need to have an MHL port? (I see HDMI can be used via a dongle — bah!)
2) If you want 1080 TV output for video, you’d be need to carryu multi-GBs video files — in a phone?!

I love that idea of using the TV remote to control the phone UI for video!

Also, seeing this makes me really wonder if Apple will do a TV for Airplay.
