Insignia NS-28E200NA14 @ 28" diagonal at Best Buy for clearance price of $179.99 is probably the smallest. As Roku is producing a new streaming stick which uses regular HDMI port and the USB port for power, I doubt that a manufacturer will produce a 19" TV with MHL.

Honestly...this product is not going to do anything for your TV. You need something like the "Mini MK802 Android 4.0 Google TV Box HD IPTV Player PC Allwinner A10 1G DDR3" if your goal is to make your TV a "smart" TV. I have not bought one, but it is on my to buy list as my TV has a USB port, but does not have an ethernet port. This will allow me to get the Android Netflix app etc.Amazon won't let me include a link but you can buy that device here at Amazon.com

One of the posters talks about the picture quality while using non-HDTV. I think he said he has it in a trailer, so no HDTV. Also, this unit doesn't have an S-Video connection, which is what is needed to get the best quality standard def. picture (at least that's my understanding). Which tells me that this unit is really not intended mainly for standard def viewing. Vizio, Sharp, and Philips make some units still with S-video connections. Maybe some others do, too, but so far I've found only those three brands. And if I had to guess, I would guess that eventually they'll all stop putting in S-Video connections, as more and more people start subscribing to HDTV.

MHL ports were nonexistent on TV's before 2012. Only recently have they come down to $200 for 32" screen. It is doubtful that most hotel TVs would have this feature. Bestbuy's house brand, Insignia, seems to be making the widest use of the MHL port.

Hi, We own a 42 inch TV, it does not specifically state "TrueMotion"..... but where possible, via their menus, I've turned of any extra processing, and picture mode is "standard". We don't own an Xbox or play other games.... strictly used as a TV display for live, dvd (HD -no Blu-ray yet), and streaming video. I feel this TV has one of the best displays for the price.... better than most other TVs with the exception of (Panasonic ) plasma. Clear picture, little - if any- picture 'smear' or blurring, display of motion/ action - better than most. Easy to set up and use. We are extremely pleased.Hope that helps Hi, We own a 42 inch TV, it does not specifically state "TrueMotion"..... but where possible, via their menus, I've turned of any extra processing, and picture mode is "standard".

I'm not sure how the remote would know what kind of TV it is controlling, but I can tell you that my ROKU replacement remote is not used in an HD application. My understanding was that if I upgraded to an HD TV everything would work the same as long as I used the proper HDMI cable instead of the coax that was included with the original unit. I guess I would trust what ROKU says even though my understanding is not complete. Hope I didn't make it more confusing.

According to Samsung tech support only the MHL port and ARC hdmi port supports HDMI 2.0 and HDCP 2.2 and it has built in support for HEVC H.265 as well as a oneconnect port for future upgradeability which Samsung guarantees for 4 yrs. FYI other external 4K devices also need to support HDMI 2.0 and HDCP 2.2 to view 4k, if not you get downgraded to 1080p. Oneconnect box not included. As of now you need to make sure when shopping for 4k whether it is a tv, receiver, or any other UHD/4k device that all of the hdmi ports support hdmi 2.0 and hdcp 2.2 or if not at least the ARC port supports it and/or there is an upgrade path. It also needs to support 4k at 24/30/60hz (60 right now is primarily being used by online streaming companies like netflix and amazon) and has HEVC H.265 supoort. Also while most people will tell you that current 10.2 gbps High speed hdmi cables will be good for everything meaning no need to upgrade be aware that current HDMI 10.2gbps high speed cables do not support 4k at 60hz also refered to as 60fps. They max out at 4k@24hz with some managing 4k@30hz. The hdmi.org has raised the the speed to 18gbps for the new hdmi spec. So i recommend getting HDMI cables that is rated at least 18 gbps and supports 4k@60Hz. Don't over pay. Monoprice is just starting to get the 18gbps cables now and others will be too. Keep in mind you only will need new cables just for devices that use 4k@30hz/fps and above which there none right now except for a $299 streaming device that is coming out soon. As of now 4K Blu-ray specs have not been finalized yet so it will be a while before we devices. Cable/sat devices also will take a long while to make the change. So most of your 4k content niw will come from the built in tv apos like netflix and 4k proprietary media players or hard drives with 4k contentent like the samsung one. This tech is really 1 to 2 years at the earliest from fully taking off.

I assume it does, I get netflix and other things from my blu-ray player but I see no reason why not. Though I don't know what a roku stick is, I'm assuming you mean their box. That's the best I can do.

I just returned the roku 2 xs and purchased the original xs. I noticed the roku hd in my living room buffering after I added the roku 2 to my tv in the tv room. Never had that problem before. The roku2 also buffered or dropped movies. Roku 2 didnt play PlayOn channels that I watch a lot. The Angry Birds game didnt work well on my roku2. My daughter has the roku hd for a 55 in. projection type tv and has no problem at all with hers. IMO, no need to upgrade to roku2. I did like the fact you can add a micro sd card to the roku2 for more channels but the negatives for me outweighted that. Love my roku though!

Roku has only one HDMI plug. So it can only connect one HDMI cable to TV. I suggested you connect one TV to roku and another to XBOX :-P

No hdmi input but it has apps, such as Netflix, hulu, crackle. Not all you would get from a roku. I got an hdmi splitter through amazon for my game consoles. Works pretty good. Comes with a remote but I don't need to use it. It switches automatically. Cost about $15.

If you don't already own the Streaming stick, Roku is coming out with a new one that goes in a regular HDMI port. You can "pre-order" one right now. If you do already have the streaming stick, this might help you identify the Roku Ready TVs. http://www.roku.com/roku-ready/devices#!/tv

I'm not sure - I only tested the Roku scenario. I can tell you that the 'box' has rca output [only] jacks the the HDMI is input [only]. In other words your source has to be feeding you something from hdmi and your destination has to be able to receive rca inputs. So, for me I have the new Roku that had only an HDMI on the back of the Roku. But my old tv only had rca input jacks in the back. This special box allowed me to bridge that gap. Hope this info helped. Kevin

Yes, however...make sure any "stick" device like the ROKU stick or FIRE stick has an extension cable for the HDMI so the devicecan fit. The HDMI jacks are re-set into the rear of the set, and some "longer" devices will need a short HDMI cable extension (most times they come with them anyway,so this is not an issue.) As far as using the "boxes" themselves via standard HDMI, NO problem!!

We haven't actually be able to use it, as shortly after buying it, we bought a smart TV with 4 HDMI switches, enough for all we needed, since it eliminated the need to the Roku to be hooked up anymore. Sorry I can't be more helpful. I'm pretty certain my husband has the antenna hooked to something different, not HDMI.

Make sure the HDMI port you plugged the stick into supports MHL. On my TV only one port supported MHL.
