Many of the newer devices that have been released have some amazing technology built right into them. With new tech comes the need to purchase a new accessory to fully take advantage of it. One of the newest additions to our devices is the use of MHL to give us the best possible picture and sound from our beloved Android device right on our HD TVs. We were able to
get our hands on Kanex latest addition to their accessory line up and gave it a test using an
HTC Sensation a while back. It worked perfectly.I played a few games, watched some Sons of Anarchy, browsed the web and watched a YouTube video.
The unit offers full 1080p mirroring of your device at 60fps and 192 kHz 7.1 Digital surround sound audio. It makes watching videos, playing games and doing anything else you can image on your HD TV at an affordable price.The unit is stupid easy to use. Simply hook it to your device add a power source and connect your HDMI cable and you are off to the races. The power source is simply your phones charger, no need to worry about buying anything special.
We currently have two of these amazing little accessories at our disposal to offer to two lucky readers of our site. Now the only question is how should we give them away? Since I know many of you are extremely busy planning your Halloween parties, we want to make it easy on you. In order to enter, simply leave a comment below telling us what you would use the adapter for and why you should win it. Pretty simple right? This will be a one day only give away. From the time this post goes live till 10pm tonight (PST) is all the time you have to enter.
Also, even if you don’t have a supported MHL device, I bet your friend does. Let them know. They will be forever grateful if they win. Be sure to take a look at the device at Kanexlive for more information and get your comment in now!

Time for an update. I am the proud father of three, 2, 8, and 11. I finally just moved up from the Samsung Vibrant to the Samsung Galaxy S III...... Let me tell you, it is mind blowing. I love Android, I love tech and I love my family. Not in that order though. I work to hard, play even harder and take care of all that are around me when I can.

I would use it for sharing photos of my Daughter with friends and family (instead of on my phone screen). It’d also be handy for playing games like GTHD+ and other fun games that would be better on a large screen.
I’d love this adapter for my EVO 3D. So I can stream MLB and NFL to my 50″ plasma at home.
Thanks for the chance Stormy.
I would use it with my HTC Sensation so that when my family visits me here at College I can simply plug my phone in and show them everything that has happened while I’ve been away. Plus in my off time I can rent movies from the market and stream them to the TV! I hope I win because well, being a college student means living cheap, and I wouldn’t ever be able to purchase one of these. Even if I don’t win, thanks for the give away!
This would come in handily
I’d use this in place of my slow laptop that I connect to our TV. We would use it for Hulu+, youtube, playing some games, listening to music and sharing pictures and video from my phone. Thanks and keep up the pretty good work.
This is very cool of you! It would be terrific to use it for recorded videos and movies and games. Thx for the contest!
I would use it to play Mario Cart 64 on my Galaxy S2, Play internet TV on my TV and show videos+photos to my friends which i can`t do now because my TV doesn´t have DLNA
I would use it to play the awesome game diversion devoured follower
I’d use it so I can load up media on my SD card, pop it in my phone/tablet, then play media on my 55″ TV directly from there. My TV supports DLNA, but it’s a very buggy and non-intuitive system that almost never works…
I would use it for playing back the videos of my son to my parents (who can’t see well so would love to see it on the tv) and so my wife could play some angry birds in some large HD.
I would use it to force vacation picture slide shows on my parents and grandparents to get them back for years of them making me watch their boring slide shows of every church in Europe!
But in all honesty, I will use the adapter to play Netflix from my Galaxy S2 and a few games on my 50″ Samsung that lacks DLNA.
I really hope I win, I’ve been wanting to get a MHL connector since I got my phone.
Thanks for your generosity!
I would use it for Netflix, Mario Kart, movies, slide shows, and games. Thanks!
I love this! I’ll use this to hook up my android to my tv while camping!
I always thought it was so cool that i can download movies and TV shows on my phone but I don’t wanna watch it on the lil screen so if i had this it would be awesome
I will use it to share family videos with friends. & porn.
I will use it to show my daughters all the videos that I made of them. They love to see themselves dance and sign, and it will be great to be able to show them in the big TV.
I would probably use this adapter to force myself into the apartments of friends and family, plug my tablet into the big screen, and share the mountains of curated horror I’ve accumulated from youtube and various social media. #nutshot
I would use to play my emulators on my brand new HDTV…hahaha. I would use it for obvious reasons like sharing a funny video or pictures from a recent event/trip.
I would love to have the MHL and I would use it to plug my Android and show it off to my iPhone blinded friends and family please pick me!!!
I’ll be honest with you… just to see every picture I snap of my newborn
Angry Birds on my TV to make those iPad playing guys jealous!!!
I’m not gonna lie, I probably would use it to watch pr0n and dance videos. These types of things come in handy at parties Things get a little awkward when you have a bunch of people crowded around your 4.3 inch Sensation 4G screen trying to watch Rachel Starr get railed. I mean, I’m cool, but some of the girls I hang out with don’t want to necessarily feel the guy behind them get excited.
too much info?
Ah well…
I want one too.
I’m a multimedia student who owns an htc sensation, if what you say is true about this adapter then that means rather then watch tutorials on my phone screen via youtube, I can connect this to my TV and watch it on a bigger screen? I should win because this can help my productivity and besides school work I’d also use this for entertainment purposes like angry birds on the tv screen lol
I would mainly play Genesis and SNES ROMs on the big screen, watch some video, and play music!
I’d use it during my Halloween party to stream some great horror flixs from my phone!
I would use it for slideshows on my HDTV when family comes to visit for the Holidays
i would love to have one of these for my son i have a bunch of learning apps and him being 3 it would be easier to be able to see it on the tv and alot easier for him to interact with!
I would love to win this! netflix all day! Breaking bad
Brand new hdmi out and no way to play my new bionic movies
Awesome
Single Lady here with only my droid & my netflix to keep me company
I NEED to win this!
This would be perfectly paired with my shiny SGSII. I haven’t thrown down the cash on one yet so winning would be nice!
I’d love to win it so my son and I can play our favorite android games on the big screen TV we just received as a gift. My son is 4 and he’d be in awe of playing Angry Birds on a 55″ TV! Not to mention watching YouTube ‘talking orange’ videos ; )
Oh and I’d really enjoy it too!
Me like new tech. Me want thing. You give tech thing for me to use. Me happy then with tech thing. Tech thing happy with my TV. TV happy with new friend.
Pleae, thank you, I am welcome.
The Kanex MHL is an exceptional bridge between accessibility presentation. My Android is a critical component complimenting my lifestyle, career, social interaction, college, and entertainment. The abilities of the Android platform allows me to connect remotely to work, earn a higher education, keep in touch with others, perform research, watch movies, play online chess, and read my favorite Android news on AndroidSPIN. If I won the MHL, many of these activities would become much more pleasant and productive without restriction or exclusion.
i would use to play game like 9mm, shadowgun,gta 3 or modern combat or watch youtube,netflix or giant bomb video on my nice 32 hdtv
I would use it with my new Xiaomi phone to share pictures, video, songs with my friends; And playing games with friends; watching movies, Drawing Pictures with some software……
; For the pary to share everyone’favourite music, comic story and so on” from their phones!
I’d love the MHL to be able to share those hilarious moments I’ve caught on my S2 with friends at parties, whenever and wherever I am, in full HD! I can imagine the laughter and hilarity that will ensue – plus, I’d get bonus geek points!
I would like to use the device to show my daughter her pre-birth pictures and ultrasounds that were taken on a bigger screen than the tiny display on the phone.
