Does anyone know any possible way to connect the Lg Stylo 6 to a tv with an hdmi cable?

[Android Central Question]

Maybe with a converter of some sort

That video describes how to cast to a chrome cast.

Ahh darn it , let me check .

Searching Google gives me the impression the LG Stylo line doesn't support video over USB C so there would be no way to connect an HDMI cord directly to the phone. You've got to do wireless casting.

What about usb-c to hdmi , wouldn't work ?

I can't find anything directly saying it will

The phone has to have video at the USB port - this phone doesn't. (I've noticed that phones with Mediatek SoCs usually don't.)

I don't know all the technicalities behind it but not all USB C ports are created equal, while USB C supports video out many USB C ports found on phones/tablets/laptops do not. I think it requires additional hardware and circuitry inside the device to support it.

Higher end Samsung devices are the only phones I know for sure do support it and that's because DeX uses it.

Yeah , that's what we trying figure out!

Yeah looks like it, I don't think even pixel phones can do this .

No va

In the case of the Stylo 6, here's really nothing complicated to figure out. It has USB-C using USB 2.0 protocol, so it can't use the port to output video.

USB-C is just a port shape that supports both USB 3.1 and up, Thunderbolt, and PD charging in one design because the design allows more connectors. The difference is in the hardware behind the USB port. Stylo 6 is using USB 2.0 behind that USB-C port. Meaning it's impossible. A converter won't do anything if the source isn't outputting video at all. You need USB 3.0 and higher to be able to output video. Whether or not the manufacturer will allow their USB 3.0 to output video is another question (like what Pixels do), but since we're talking about 2.0, the answer is literally only "No it can't".

Check out the USB section in this comparison. The Stylo 6 is listed as "USB-C 2.0", while the S20, which supports HDMI out is using a "USB-C 3.2"

It's like asking for wine to come out of your tap. If the water company isn't putting wine in the pipes, putting a wine bottle at the tap won't fill it up with wine.

There's some good casting apps out there that work well. Allcast works great for me, although I'm using an older version. Then there's Allscreen, X-Cast and Web video caster. They're all available in the play store ;-)

Yeah we kinda knew this while researching, was just explaining to rukbat that did the research and didn't look like it supported it.

As for the whine coming out the tap , you gotta know the right people for that to happen

I said it didn't.

Yes , I'm explaining we already knew that from looking up
