Does allshare supports only Samsung TVs?
AllShare is based on the DLNA standard, so it should support any other TVs which are DLNA certified.
I didn't try with TVs, but Windows Media Player 12 (Windows 7) can detect my phone over the local WiFi network and stream 720p videos.

I think Allshare just activates DLNA on phone. My Smart TV's media library can able to sync with the phone perfectly however I couldn't able to detect my TV on app like Samsung TVs .
Is your TV DLNA certified? Does it have the DLNA logo in the manual or somewhere? Even if it is DLNA capable, you need to enable it.
Also try this: download and install AllShare app for PC (yes, the same as on phone). Make sure TV and PC are connected to the same network, and see if it works then.

DLNA is cool. I can even watch movies on my phone. But I don’t have a DLNA-certified TV. My TV is a normal one. Can I still watch movies from the computer on my TV?
To access DLNA streaming, if your TV is not certified dlna one, then use a media player hardware as a bridge. Of course, this media player must be dlna certified one like the popular ones: WD TV, Popcorn Hour, TVIX, Dune Player, PS3...
Use the cable to connect your hardware media player to your non-DLNA certified TV set. Thus your TV set is only used as a HD monitor.
Also the supported codecs of these players is very important point. MKV file can not be streamed by DLNA directly. Try a video converter app to transcode mkv to compatible one. Seaching on Google, you will find one. I find one via searching dlna mkv video converter.
Good luck. ^-^
And don't forget you lose subtitles since there is no standart for in in DLNA specs.
Guys I own a SGS2 and a LG LED TV.
Is there a way that I can connect my phone to LG LED TV (which is dlna certified) like the Samsung Allshare application?
What I want is to play games or browse the phone on the TV without HDMI.
Don't know about playing games, but you can browser several sites with imediashare free through dlna devices.
Thanks mate
My Panasonic Plasma has DLNA in the Viera tools... is there any way to share my note screen onto the tv without an accessory for the Note?
Not possible at the moment. Hdmi adapter or allshare cast dongle still needed.

AllShare is Samsung's branding for everything related to media sharing. You can output media to any DLNA device from within the stock video and audio player. An icon with what looks like a TV in motion appears when a device is available. It's how I connect to my HTC dongle. You can mirror the Note with Samsung's dongle but it's not necessary just for DLNA media output.

I think you can, depening on what you want to share.
I have the latest Samsung ES8000 TV but I almost never use Allshare. Instead I use the iMediaShare app (paied version)on the Note and S3.
With iMediaShare I can show albums, videos, play music to the tv.
But what I use most is submitting movies from a DLNA-disk connected to my router. When, with iMediaShare on the Note, I choose a movie on the DLNA-disk I want to see. IMediaShare lists up DLNA-devices including Local Android(The Note) and I can choose where I want to view the movie. If I choose the TV the movie will play, without showing the picture on the screen on the Note. But I can control start/stop, wind/rewind and sound volume from the Note.
For some reason, unknown to me, playing movies on the TV plays more formats than using Allshare on the TV. Serveral times I have experienced that Allshare on the TV says it can't play the format. But with iMediaShare most of them works fine.
And the funny thing is that I can power off the Note after starting playing a movie. The movie still plays on the TV.
So for people with a DNLA-enabled tv and the Note I would highly recommend you to try out iMediaShare (unpaied) from Google Play,
PS. My TV has 5Ghz WIFI and I have no lag or buffering problems playing BR-movies form the DLNA.disk.
I want to stream the image of the screen of my Galaxy S3 to my PC via DLNA. It's possible to stream screen to the TV with DLNA. Can I use some DLNA emulator on PC to receive screen video from my smartphone? I want to play games on the big screen.

It might be possible, if your TV/PC supports DLNA. e.g. SmartTV or OS with DLNA Support. BUT:
DLNA is imho just for playback. Playing games maybe laggy because screen-playback is buffered.

The latest version of MX Player already supports basic chromecast support through official Google's cast framework. It will automatically show a Cast symbol when there is a Chromecast or Chromecast built-in device in the same network. Please make sure that you have the latest version of the app, and using a Chromecast or Chromecast built-in device. Also, make sure that both the device and the receiver are connected to the same network. If it still not shows up for you, there might be some issues with the Google Play Services on the device or it could be due to a network issue. Request you restart mobile, cast receiver and router and check again. If the problem persists, try the basic troubleshooting steps mentioned in chromecast official documentation. It may fix your issues.

DLNA
My device only support DLNA protocol, MX player seems don't support.
Supporting DLNA would be much better than supporting Chromecast, because most smart tvs support DLNA only.
