HDMI video INPUT??? - Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III

Just curious if it's possible or anyone has tried to use the phone to accept video input via HDMI and view fullscreen. It would be great to utilize this awesome screen as a preview screen from my cameras vs their smaller LCD screens.

Second
I too am very interested in this subject, imagine the possibilities! For cameras I recommend DSLR Controller by Chainfire, works 100% with the t3i & tf700 but still not HD... Well I think it'd be pretty cool to play xbox on a tablet still.

Have you tried an OTG cable?

I'll try and will report back.

Netflix through HDMI

The Netflix apparently works great on my g2x,so I tried using HDMI to my 720p TV and it comes out crappy video quality. Dual video on the phone and TV, phone looks great. The TV looks pixelated and stretched.
Anyone have a solution?

Will the HDMI port work in Cyanogen 7.1?

I dont want to buy a cable unless im sure i can use it
no if you need to use hdmi then you need a stock rom
You can use different ones they work...cyanoger is the only one that didn't work for me

The hdmi port works for me. Of course, the scaling options from the stock rom were not available, but I played a few games like Riptide and Nova 2 on my television. I also watched a video I had recorded. The cable was cheap on Amazon. Worth it.
It kinda works for me. when i play hd content or hd videos, like the tegra video, it cut off and restarted every few seconds

Will HDMI work on CyanogenMod 7?

Will it work on the latest CyanogenMod 7? i am very intrested in installing it on my wind g2x, and need to know its good sometimes to put a movie on the phone and watch it on my 1080p t.v. with family, please let me know ! thanks
Works fine for me, in 1080p along with audio

The only caveat IIRC is that you can't manually change the resolution in the phone. It just defaults to Automatic so if you have to specify a resolution to make things work, then you can't.
Actually for me it works better than weapon or other stock roms. I have a 1080p Sony LCD and with stock based roms I get overscaling. With CM7 it fits perfect on my screen!

Hdmi mirroring

I have a DROID x and um thinking on buying the hdmi cable and u wanted to know how to do hdmi mirroring
Sent from my DROIDX using XDA App
I have done HDMI mirroring on my galaxy tab 10.1. The quality is OK at best. Videos will load and look good, but apps, and the homescreen look pretty mediocre. I would suggest it if you want to show videos, but using it to run twitter on your tv is going to look pretty bad.

Recommendations

Just looking for some suggestions.
I have a pc hooked up to my tv now and it's really quite overkill. All we do with it is stream videos from other computers in the house and watch Netflix.
I'm sure these little android stick things are powerful enough to do this.
Can anyone recommend a good one to replace my puter? Just need to be able to stream HD Netflix and play videos.
Thanks!

If it's just videos, probably any of the dual-core devices will do fine. You may need to use an Android 4.1 rom, as the Netflix app is broken on 4.2 for most or all of these sticks.
The mk808 and mk808b are both around $45; the former has slightly better support while the latter has Bluetooth. I have the b model, and it is great for Netflix. (I also use it with Debian in the background to run my IRC connection; it's got plenty of excess power for that plus videos.)
