Just curious if the G5 supports wired-display-out since the G5 still has features that competitors have dropped. Supposedly the G4 still had it despite competitors giving up on it, but USB Type C supports display, so USB Type-C to HDMI converters and adapters are a thing.
Just curious if G5 kept wired display-out since the G5 also kept the removable battery and IR blaster.
I too am curious about this. I've been hoping that since the G5 is able to send 3D video to the 360 VR that it would also support standard hdmi as well, but that may or may not be the case.
It bugs me that phones seem to be dropping wired video out options in favor of wireless/chromecast. I mean I like the chromecast and all, but I'd still like the option of a wired dock - Windows phones with Continuum sound pretty cool - and I'm still hopeful we'll be able to do something similar with Ubuntu on our phones someday, but the disappearance of wired options for video out concerns me in this regard. I know wireless is the future, but I don't like losing wired as a fallback option.

I don't get mine until Friday (uk) but it seems it does :
( I can't post links )search YouTube for "Coms USB C to HDMI LG G5"
No idea what he is saying though!
I believe the VR unit connects thru it too, so as that is 2 screens, it makes sense.
Can't find many (any?) Usb-c to HDMI adapters. Would a micro-usb adapter do with a cheap microusb-c converter?

Looks like it does, but there's at least some output lag; it's not perfectly in-sync between phone and HDMI tv. That will be a little disappointing.

Yes I have one and it works perfect 4 HDMI out to your TV set the one I bought was the Apple dongle for the HDMI out from their laptops and again it works perfect very pleased with the performance
I tried a slimport adapter/lead, but it only had a microusb connector so I tried a microusb-usb c converter. No luck
Just ordered an apple type lead as suggested above so will see how that goes

I use a device called a netgear ptv 3000. It is used as a Mira cast device. Well, it used to be called Mira cast on phones. Now it's called screen sharing. I think it's actually been called screen sharing since KitKat or lollipop. Either way, I've used this with a Nexus 4, Nexus 5, g2, note 5, and the g5. The latency is bad on the note 5, but almost prefect with the other phones. It will display anything you have on your phone to the TV wirelessly. You just plug it in to the HDMI and a power outlet, activate screen sharing on the G5 and you're good to go. A negative side is that you can't put your phone to sleep so it could kill the battery faster. A way to prolong the battery is by putting the brightness all the way down on the screen of the phone. It won't effect the brightness on the TV. One last thing, when you first get the ptv3000. Be sure to update the device before you try and use it or it won't work. The udate is necessary. There's instructions on how to do update in the box. I got mine for around $40 a couple years back. Hope this helps. Peace.

to be honest.. chromecast is doing extremely well so far on my G5.
this thread is about physical connection to the tv / beamer though.
My bad. Just throwing out an idea.. Nevertheless, the netgear is nice because you don't need Wi-Fi like Chromecast to use it and it mirrors everything..

So I recently purchased this MicroUSB adapter for my Galaxy note. It works perfect most of the time but sometimes have random HDMI signal loss when messing around with the device. Many other people have experienced this with other MHL adapters with other devices, so I figured it could just be the software. Overall the whole experience isnt as smooth as I assumed(lag?).
Does anyone know how to just render graphics through HDMI and not on the Note Display?
I bought one:
A little cheaper and works great, very few issues with the signal drop out...
As far as i know - it only works in mirror mode - whats on the Note is on the TV.
Apparently this HDMI cable charges the phone while it's in use.

Yes, but you must connect a charger/power source to it to work, kinda like a power injector. Still accomplishes the goal, you obviously are getting no juice from your TV or monitor.
I use THIS by Menotec. So far, about 20 movies, no signal drops yet.

TVs that support MHL can power and recharge devices through the HDMI port. It's the best part about Mobile High-definition Link. My guess is that product isn't really MHL.

Then perhaps this is a convience feature for TVs that do not fully support MHL and will accept the HDMI signal but not passing power downstream. One way to find out, someone has to test this theory.
Anyone with a Samsung UN55D8000 or UN55D6300 TV? I know those have MHL support. Unfortunately, I have the prior year's model.

It says here you need adequate power to drive the adapter. Maybe while using your device, you drained some power. Also maybe the AWG on your cable had something to do with it too.

get the media link from HTC. It's around $50-70 but it is wireless and has an hdmi port on it. Supports 1080p and it reflects the phone entirely on the tv.

According to the description on the monoprice site, the adapter has a micro-USB charging port on the side of the adapter.
I bought this one from Amazon since I have prime:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B006V7F380/ref=oh_details_o01_s00_i00
I have to have the regular usb power cable plugged into it for it to work with my TV and that charges my phone.
So it can also function as a 6ft power extender for charging if you don't use the HDMI part.
Happy with it for the price.
I have the HTC MHL adapter and I'm getting CRAZY lag when I play video games. I'm thinking it's sense, but I'm hoping it's the adapter.
Can any of the guys who bought an MHL cable try playing an nes/snes/genesis emulator while plugged in to the TV?

Hi,
Does anyone on this forum use their Z2 over MHL?

I have seen a Sony one, but is is very expensive (£30).
I was wondering what the thoughts on the cheaper ones were.
Thanks

I bought this:
amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00CI42C4S/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i02?ie=UTF8&psc=1
which works perfectly but on my TV requires a separate power source for the MHL.
I've been using a Rocketfish MHL adapter for the appradio in the wifey's car until I can get an adequate mirrorcast dongle.
I haven't had any issues with it. It also comes with a 11 pin adapter for newer Samsung devices.
The Samsung branded 5 pin MHL adapters should also work and be found in stores(they had them at my local Bestbuy along with the Rocketfish I bought).
I'm not sure exactly what you're looking to do, but maybe some sort of cast dongle might be a better option.
For streaming I like using chromecast best(there's 3rd party ones that support chromecast/mirrorcast/DLNA/airplay in one unit). The user experience is much nicer with chromecast but you're limited to using apps with cast icons and a wireless network(mirrorcast/dnla don't require this).
For screen mirroring a straight HDMI cable works best but not even Motorola puts HDMI ports on their devices anymore. MHL adapters work for the most part just as well but can have more failure points and compatibility issues. I haven't tried mirrorlink yet(I do have a new appradio that supports mirrorlink as well as HDMI but it's still in the box) but from what I under stand it's not as fast as HDMI and may give noticeable lag.

Such a disappointed they went with a disappointment (actually the real disappointment is that phones stopped including dedicated microHDMI ports).
Anyways, the cheapest SlimPort adapter I've found on amazon is still $30. Is it as small as the MHL adapter? And why so much more money? I got the official Samsung MHL adapter for $10 on Amazon... and some off-brand SlimPort is $30..... also, why is it not even an option to buy on LG's website or Verizons website? I would think they would list it for like $180 or something but nothing.
SlimPort adapters do work fine. This is the one I tried on my G3 last night, bought it last year for my Nexus 7 2013:

I bought a USB-C to HDMI adapter through the Google Store, as I have a laptop with USB-C (and no HDMI Out or DIsplay Port) that I need to mirror to my 65" TV. Works great for that. (Miracast and Chromecast frequently drop the mirroring connection for me).
Just for sh*ts and giggles, I tried it on the 6P to see if it would work, even though I knew it wasn't supposed to. I can confirm that there is no video out on the 6P through the USB-C port. TV says there is no signal from the 6P.
Nothing earth shattering here. I just figured there are some people out there where in the back of their minds they were still wondering whether it might work. Put your minds at ease, it does not.

Bummer, why does your Chromecast drop signal, that sounds router related.
I know Google is really pushing Chromecast, but limiting people to 720p is just sad. I've tried the experimental 1080p ChromeCast from my laptop Chrome to my Sony KDL65W850C and it just produces a broken picture. The Nexus 5 had fantastic SlimPort that I used! It was amazing for movies or testing TV inputs. Heck, I even used it for VMware Horizon View and loved it! This is a feature that Google should put into all Nexus phones.

It's not really HDMI that's supported. It's DisplayPort. And DisplayPort is already supported in the USB Type-C spec. Google just didn't implement it for whatever insane reason.
Check out this image. It shows that the USB Type-C ALTERNATE MODE uses pins A2, A3 and A10, A11. These can be for either high speed USB3, or for DisplayPort.

It is shocking to me that a 2015 flagship phone does not support video out via dongle to HDMI cable. My old S3 and HTC M7 do. All my iPhones did and still do. I believe the Samsung S6 does not support video out either.

I thought this was a must have at first. As it turns out. I never really used it on my old phone. Loving the chromecast though.

Though I'm sure it won't help, I sent feedback to Google regarding why "Enable Wireless Display" isn't available under the "Cast" display setting. What a crock!
I guess it's Chromecast Dongle or bust. All smartphones today should have wireless display capabilities - smh.

The spec allows for it. However, it's up to the hardware designer to actually implement it. Google decided not to. Bad idea in my opinion.

From what I understand, it's a USB 3.1 feature. Though the device uses a USB C connector, the data path is still USB 2.0.

Its actually not a USB 3.1 feature. It's part of the USB Type C spec called "Alternate Mode". DisplayPort would use the same pins that could be used to enable USB 3.0 to push DisplayPort data instead of USB3.0 data. Its a one or the other deal with USB Type C. Either DisplayPort or USB 3.0/3.1. USB 2.0 is always present.
Crap, wish I saw this post before I purchased an USB-C to HDMI cable from newegg

I tether my phones data, so that I can watch Hulu. I just bought a cable thinking I'd be able to just run Hulu through my phone to my TV w/o tethering, but I guess I wasted my money buying that cable.
