Is there any way to get an Android phone screen on a tv?

Something similar to mirroring an iphone/ipad screen on an Apple TV2?

MHL adapter if your phone supports it.

That isn't like iphone to apple tv functionality though, that is a wired adapter

HDMI mirror, WiFi Direct, if the TV supports it.

I doubt it, it is a Samsung plasma that is about 3 years old, maybe 4

I thought about getting an MHL adapter so I could hook up my Galaxy Nexus to my TV, but I decided not to because controlling it would be a pain. As in I'd have to get up and walk over to the phone to do anything.

But now I'm thinking, hey, Android supports USB input devices, right? So maybe I could just get something like this and hook that up as well, and use it to control my phone.

Other options seem to be much more expensive - you could buy something like this and instead of using your own Android phone you'd just have a different Android device hooked up. You could make an HTPC and then control it through your Android phone using Gmote.

That looks pretty nifty! Actually I'm hoping the new Sony Google TV remote will work on other android devices since it's bluetooth and comes with a build in touchpad and microphone which should work great with google now, voice search etc.
