You can connect Samsung Galaxy S4 to TV in two ways, one is through hard-wired connections and the other way is through wireless connection. Connecting your Samsung Galaxy S4 to your TV could really come in handy if you want to mirror what you have on your smartphone to your tv.

In 5-easy steps you can successfully connect your Smartphone to TV.
1. Obtain an MHL adapter that is compatible with the Samsung Galaxy S4.

3. Connect the adapter to a power source.
4. Use a standard HDMI cable to connect the adapter to the HDMI port on your television.
5. Set the TV to display video from the HDMI port you are using. Once done, the TV will mirror your phone.

Hello Mitch, I don't know why you are doing this or why you think you have the sole knowledge of technology.
I will appreciate if you stop what you are doing, I am just going through your blog now and I can't seem to find exclusive similarities between both of us.
This isn't an article or a paper, neither is it an ip that one can lay total claim to, perhaps, you can ask Apple, they know better..
This is "How-To" of technology and we all solve problems the same way. I watched alot of videos and read lots of articles and never was there a time when I decided to copy "word for word" from you.
I have been a tech blogger for 6-years, I have my dignity and I respect your motives but they are better ways to achieve a goal.
I have just seen that you have alot of tutorials on Samsung Galaxy S4 and they are not here, that should explain that I don't sit on your blog day after day waiting to completely have all your contents here.
I equally have the rights to delete your comment but I have to send this reply to you because I am fundamentally honest.
Thanks for stopping by friend.

You are absolutely correct. Wired always the edge over wire-less. Just that most times we don't like to see wires.. 😀

That hard wired connection is much better than the Allshare solution!

Hi, Is there any way to mirror the sg4 to a PC that doesn’t have an HDMI input?

Unfortunately, I don’t think so Caro.
Do have a nice day 🙂

will this work with projectors? I have the new Orealo C1 Slim Projector and the MHL cable that came with it which works great but can i use it wireless too?

hi i have an analog tv but i have a digital converter box so can i just use a hdmi cable through the converter or do i still need the hdmi composite adapter

Hello Alex,
I guess you will need the HDMI composite adapter. You can try out and it doesn’t work, then you definitely will need it. Do have a nice day.

I have a Samsung galaxy s4 tablet and a tv that is not a smart tv. I contacted Samsung and they said the only way to connect the tablet to the tv is to buy a smart tv?? Is there another option available? Can I purchase something so that my existing tv will have mirror capabilities??
