Welcome to a Laptop Ac Adapter specialist of the Sony Ac Adapter
Thus far I'm fairly impressed with SlimPort. I enjoyed discrete microHDMI connections on devices when that was the norm, though finding a microHDMI to HDMI cable was always the challenge. Later MHL seemed a step in the right direction, but requiring three cables to do display mirroring seemed like a bit much. With SlimPort I think we've finally arrived at something close to ideal with the standard not requiring external power to function. It will be interesting to see how SlimPort, MHL, and Miracast adoption fare in the coming year as mirroring to a larger display is in the cards as a convergence trend for smartphones and tablets.

Brian KlugReplyUhh.. by techdawg667 on Wednesday, December 05, 2012 Looking at the diagrams how is this any different than a regular multiplexer that you can buy for a few dollars?
techdawg667ReplyRE: Uhh.. by Brian Klug on Wednesday, December 05, 2012 DisplayPort is 7 pins, USB is 5 pins maximum, MHL and SlimPort are basically SerDes + communication logic.
DerPuppyReplyinteresting by Impulses on Thursday, December 06, 2012 It's nothinnoting that MHL was positioned as a single cable charging + video solution, but it requires the TV to be MHL equipped. I haven't run across any myself but I do think that's the optional forward-looking solution... They just threw it out there before there were any MHL equipped TVs in the market, chicken and egg thing I guess.
I'm not sure what benefit Slim Port provides over the old micro HDMI + USB discrete ports, other than eliminating one port... You still need either one or two cables depending on whether you wanna charge, and micro HDMI to HDMI adapters were cheap and plentiful (and easy to carry if you wanted to use existing HDMI cables anywhere).
It almost seems like Slimport would've been ideal had it come as an interim solution BEFORE MHL, but if it slows down MHL adoption I feel like we're going backwards. Thanks for shedding some light on this tho.
