Windows Phone connecting to a TV - there are other ways?
- HDMI: Unfortunately, the Windows Phones are currently not yet HDMI compatible. Future models could be equipped with such a system.
- Chromecast support for Chromecast, unfortunately, is not offered. Chromecast is (currently) only compatible with iOS and Android.
- HD-10: Currently Microsoft is developing its own HDMI Stick for TV. This receives via WLAN the data from your Windows Phone and forwards it via HDMI to the TV. The Stick, however, is presented only in the autumn of 2014. More information can be found in this article.
