When I search if Samsung Galaxy S8 supports MHL or not, I am getting crazy.

50% of online articles say S8 does not support MHL including mhltech.org link and technipages

Another 50% of online articles say S8 supports MHL.

It obviously supports USB-C to HDMI Adapter which is only one side with Type-C port and another side with HDMI port cable.

If S8 does NOT support MHL, what is the difference between "USB-C to HDMI Adapter" and "MHL"?

Does "USB-C to HDMI Adapter" have worse video output than "MHL"?

Thanks a lot.

    AFAIK MHL uses a passive cable, which means the used display has to support MHL. Where as HDMI is a common standard, so the converter is active: it has a chip which generates the HDMI signal from the signal it gets via USB (not sure what protocol is used on USB level).

It seems to me that Samsung in all their infinite wisdom decided people needed a DEX Station to put their S8 into to achieve this purpose, to push their own devices/accessories instead of someone else's.
