Mobile High-Definition Link is an industry standard that allows portable devices to transmit 1080p video and surround sound to external monitors or televisions. It typically routes through a standard micro-USB or USB-C connector on the device side and terminates in an HDMI plug. The connection also delivers DC power back to the mobile device, charging it while it drives the display.
We need to verify if the new tablet's USB port supports MHL so users can mirror their screens on the conference room TV.
