LG G5 - Is it slimport compatible?

[AC Question]

LG G5 and slimport

No reviewer site said that G5 is slimport compatible neither phonearena or gsmearena or any others...

So i searched on google and found no info

So i asked LG USA and analogix-slimportconnect ( slimport creator) about that ..

Analogix answered me: YES, its Slimport enable and compatible

LG USA, answered me: we still try to figure it, we are not sure, we will ask superior departement and come back to you. ( i even said to LG USA that LG deutch web site have slimport in Specification, but all others country doesnt say anything about slimport, but even with that they are still not sure if its truth or its a specification listing error...

i dont know why, but i doubt the analogix answer..

Can someone here CONFIRM at 100% that LG G5 have slimport compatibility ? Than ks for help, this question is very important for me i used Slimport with my lg g4 for my work and presentation and to play games too.

YES (shouting with joy), LG G5 is listed on slimport web site.
Soon as its rooted, I will be updating my LG G2 to the new G5.

SlimPort supported devices

I would like if #LG fully supported support baby a few extra options in their software.

1) Option to have phone screen turn off when slimport is used. ( I currently use 'Screen Standby' for this)
2) DPI election (When phone connected to Monito HDMI/DVI), DPI 220 and when disconnected, back to 440DPI for phone screen. ( I use Tasker for this)

I also use a BT mouse and keyboard. Some games support mouse control i.e. Clash of clans.

Registered my interest in LG G5 with my mobile carrier (Three.co.uk).

I wanted to root it and install cyanogenmod to make the upgrade to android 6.0 to my lg g2 but i have read that slimport doesn't work anymore with cyanogenmod, did you root your lg g2 and installed cyanogenmod ?
thanks

Hi

CM13 works fine with slimport on LGG2, using it right now .
But what you have to do, is reboot the phone once slimport is all connect before it activates (on majority of occasions). Plus I always reboot phone to do DPI 220 when using slimport .

Here a screen shot of CM13: https://photos.google.com/share/AF1...?key=Wi1RUktfaGIydnllaHZVX291My1HUVFlMExwckVR
Screen Standby works on CM13 as well

Still using G2 as Moto Z One compute is very interesting to me: https://youtu.be/eDzoxcpu8Es

I'd just like add a little detail to this. I had a Delock slimport adapter for my LG G3, with microusb plug. Now that will not work with LG G5 using a microusb-typec adapter, because, as slimportconnect support confirmed, those microusb-typec adapters don't support "PD negotiation". So you'll need a slimport adapter specifically designed for usb type-c (and it's actually hard to buy any in europe), you can't reuse your old microusb slimport adapter.
