As is well known, the Samsung Galaxy S4 is known for, among other features, the large size of the screen (too much for my taste). This has allowed the Korean colossus direct their product to an audience preferences for gaming and HD streaming. However, if your 5-inch screen you seems insufficient to run certain applications or simply want to enjoy the experience of playing on your TV and watch movies, we offer a brief guide to connect a Samsung Galaxy S4 to the TV.
We can do it in two ways: wired or wireless. Both options are good but we must take into account both the difference in costs and procedures. I personally recommend the wiring for being the cheapest and easiest, however, will detail both.
What do we need?
Basically we need, plus a TV with HDMI input, an MHL adapter - HDMI, HDMI cable and a wireless adapter, preferably Samsung or Netgear. It goes without saying that the more original Samsung device involved in the connection, the better.
How to install wiring mode
Wiring mode offers a number of advantages that highlight it as the best option. For starters, it is much simpler and cheaper than the wireless mode, will not suffer any lag, or desfasaje- and has better audio quality (works up to a hometheater 7.1). It is ideal for watching movies.
To install the connection must, as a first step, connect the battery charger (energy intensive screening), then we connect our MHL-HDMI adapter into the upper port of the device.
Then we proceed to set the phone. We go to Settings> My Device> Accesory> Audio output and tickeamos "surround". Once this step we connect the mobile phone with the HDMI adapter cable to the HDMI input of the TV. Now what appears on the mobile screen should appear on the TV.
How to install the wireless mode
The wireless connection is more complicated but it is the best option to play. Even some games are configured for this mode turning the phone into a remote with second screen, as if it were the Wii U Gamepad
For this mode we need to use our wireless adapter. This device allows the TV recognizes the mobile signal, clear that in a not too distant future this technology will be replaced as televisions recognize the mobile signal themselves, but so far we recommend that you install the adapter.
Connect the adapter to the HDTV input from configuration and change the font to "HDTV" mode. Once you see the light flashes red device reset press and notice that changes to blue.
Then on your phone go to Settings> Connections and from there you activate the Screen Mirroring. After a few seconds the TV should show what appears on your phone.
