1080p Vs. 720p on a Tiny Screen

Randy wants know if he'll be able to tell the difference between 720P and 1080P on a small screen. THX has a good chart on viewing distance, and this graphic is great for figuring out if you'll be able to see the difference between resolutions. But go with 1080p anyway.

MHL Followup

Paul was wondering what the "other" connection on the MHL cable was when we showed it off. Basically, for any non-MHL enabled tv sets you need a separate USB cable to power the adapter. We show off what a straight MHL passive cable looks like to give a comparison between the two.
