- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 18 มิ.ย. 2024
- In this video, we test out this 2-in-1 USB Type C/Micro USB to HDMI Cable adapter that actually works with any android phone or tablet!
I was very skeptical about this device but after a lot of testing, I can say that this works very well and it even supports Audio. So if you’ve been looking to add HDMI to your Android device to play Games, Emulators and Movies on a big screen TV this might be for you.
I test out the Moto G Fast, Samsung A01, and the Alldocube iplay40 in this video.

Wow! That is bloody impressive! There hasn't been a lower end phone or tablet with hdmi support for ages, in fact, I've had issues even with older devices with mhl supported. This probably isn't a game changer, but for the power users from poorer countries who wanted this for years, you've hit the nail on the head with this video!
I'm from one of those poor countries (Peru) and I been always looking for something like this.... so aweosme!!
I remember using MHL on my Nexus 5 and it was pretty alright, but things got messy when you tried to change resolutions. Not only that, but you needed to have a powerful enough 5V source to prevent your battery from depleting while plugged in.
@@mastersplinter6683 might wanna clean off all the bodily fluids you've got building up on your keyboard because your caps lock is clearly stuck
@@clebbington Wow, I also remembered the time when I used MHL on the Galaxy S4. When I seitched to the J6 2016 (Yeah, I know, It's a downgrade), I couldn't figure why the MHL adapter wasn't working. Now I know. And sadly, the phone doesn't even support screen casting...
My OnePlus 6 was a High End Phone from 2018 and they did not include it :(
This is EXACTLY what I was looking for! Thank you so much ETA! You never dissapoint!
Dekuuuu
@@bWWd0 so I can screencast my screen from my Android without usbc 3.0? Because my phone does not support the usb c to hdmi adapter like the one that I used on my oneplus, because my phone does not have usbc 3.0
Bluetooth has delay, i don't know
@@electrocat9 for my use case, I'll be sending the audio over aux line in port on my PC and playing audio through the pc speakers
@@HoloScope Yes. Might be better. Just assure phone chargers itself.
Of course ETA prime has this video. This is exactly what I was looking for. Display out should be standard for phones .
Great video, and you really showed the main points of this great technology. Very useful as a complement of phone usage.
And you're a great tech communicator and a natural to it, so you know by intuition what points to include and to explain. Keep up the good work. Cheers
This has been the main thing I have looked for when buying a phone, to be able to play games thru hdmi without the lag that exist on wireless solutions, this has always lead me to few choices left and expensive ones, glad to see something like this happening
In the old days, HDMI-out was a common feature in many Android phones. It's unfortunate that manufacturers only include that capability in their high end phones now.
@@uncaringbear o know they all follow the trends to remove things, like swappable batteries
@@uncaringbear
I miss back when large companies threw everything on the wall to see what sticks
@@Sr.D trend to mimic stupid apple, like remove jack port, microsd, wall charger, earphone, and ect. but hey is innovation as they claim lol
atleast you have usb 3.0, it will more bandwidth to make them not too lagging and high resolution.
@@bWWd0 - Displaylink doesn't need power because it's using the phone's CPU to render the graphics. Not great on a low spec. device & doesn't charge the phone while in use. But it does have the advantage of allowing other USB devices to connect.
So this HDMI adapter is 200mhz faster and has 2x more RAM than the PC I had in 1996.
We live in increasingly exciting times.
@@moviemania1137 PUTINN
@@moviemania1137 try going wide
Yeah that’s pretty insane isn’t it, these day’s chips can be made 500 times smaller then 25 years ago.
Not to mention probably costs about 1/100th of the price.
A trick I use to add power is connecting an unpowered USB C hub then plugging a charger into one one of the USB ports. While I use a hub designed for MHL phones it works without its own HDMI out on non-MHL phones (my backup phone is non-MHL). That give USB storage and a place to connect wireless keyboard and mouse adapters like Logitech while leaving Bluetooth connections free. With a bit of thought you can make a surprisingly useful mobile desktop from a phone.
I just ordered mine yesterday and it will be here Tuesday and I can't wait! Got to love that Amazon prime 2day shipping.
Looks pretty solid. What impressed me is that for some reason the games showed little to no lag where the videos had a constant but small latency. Definitely works for your gaming on a budget phone use case. Good find.
I was hoping that with usb-c becoming more as a standard thing, hdmi through usb would be a reality in every phone but even to this date is poorly used, like c'mom, every people could have a computer in their hands.
USB--C as a port is fairly expensive to make, and not every company complies to all of the USB-C standards or makes modifications of it in terms of how it interacts with devices.
I kind of makes sense when you think about the BOM for these inexpensive handsets - USB-C 2.0 can support data transfer and decent charging rates while being priced cheaper than a full USB-C implementation. It's not just about the physical port, either - the USB controller circuitry is also more expensive for true USB-C.
@@Dudewitbow Very true- the Nintendo Switch is a perfect example of that.
The whole "USB-C 2.0 can't support video out is because it's not 3" is BS. I remember a time when many micro USB 2. phones supported video out through MHL. And MHL Alt Mode for USB Type-C does supoort USB2.0. Companies just refuse to put it so if you want that feature you have to buy their flagships.
Kinda like how Samsung won't put DeX mode on their lower end Galaxy S Tabs like the 6 Lite or 5e. Even though we know they do have the power to run on DeX. Might not be able to multi task as well as the high end. But the layout change alone would help. Many Android apps aren't really good for tablets, so running it on a window inside might be better. Even if they limit the number of apps running simultaneously. Like only 2, like pretty much any phone on split screen mode.
Yep, I use my DEX desktop pretty often, it and Samsung Pay (the magstrip spoofing part) are what are keeping me with Samsung right now. Would love to have more options for desktop / useful phones.
I've just transitioned from big tvs to monitors for alot of gaming and I wanted to use my phone for TH-cam vids for walkthroughs etc. Been looking for this sort of cable never knew one existed. Will deffo be picking one up.
Great review man thank you! I also got some extra info i didnt even know I was looking for. Emuilators and bluetooth controllers?? like whht. thank you!
Amazing coverage as usual. I'd say your tablet was performing even better in terms of latency than the Moto G Fast - pausing the video and using the comma and period key to jump frames. Great adapter.
now _this_ is useful !
I was so disappointed when I found out that my last phone wouldn't connect to a PC screen for lack of HDMI over USB-C (my bad, I should have checked rather than assume it did so).
for me, a connector like this enables me to use my phone as a fully portable computer to write down articles with a bluetooth keyboard wherever I am and then, rather than transfering the file to my PC back at home, still use the phone to finish my work. Brilliant !
many thanks for the review !
That's what I'm thinking. So you could buy a portable monitor and work off your phone using a Bluetooth keyboard and mouse and power the monitor off a power bank. No need for a laptop and can use the monitor as a second screen.. Is this setup possible using this adapter.
This works great and easy setup. I am gad I found it before I spent more $$ of crap devices that don't do what this one does. Worked on both micro USB and C-type. Thanks ETS Prime
You have made my month I've been searching for something like this I have no cable TV just Internet on my phone and now internet on my TV with my phone thank you
Thank you very much for this video. I have a Samsung Galaxy Tab A7 without MHL (so no HDMI support) and it could potentially allow me to play on my TV anyway!
Thanks for the examples with the emulators, that's also the kind of use I want to do, so it speaks to me a lot!
I hope I'll have as little latency as you do! (I mainly play Kart Rider Rush +, with an Xbox One Elite controller using Mantis for touchpress emulation ^^ it's so great... all I need is the ability to play on a big screen!).
Did it work on a non MHL device?
This is amazing! Hey ETA you know android has a hidden desktop mode. You'd think you can setup a ghetto samsung dex on the iplay 40 with this setup? That'll be the most epic video you'll ever do!
thanks alot , tried everything and even bought 2 different modules to see mirror casting thru non 4k monitors like my computer monitor/ emulation games while out of town launching my Xbox one games thru Xbox Beta,, Truly thankful.
Dont know how I'm just seeing this video.
I'm a bit cheap and have a A01 so I just ordered this where I can cast to my TV.
Thank you sir!!!
This is exactly why I'm suscribed here !!! Just bought it and played my android copy of Simphony of the night through my Fire HD 10 , with audio and wireless controller way more than decent enough, thank you so much for this
That was surprisingly impressive! Miracasting over wifi has always been dreadful, so it was eye-opening seeing how well this device performed. I was expecting to see a ton of lag and horrible compression artifacts but it looks almost flawless. It's stupid that manufacturers don't include HDMI-out by default in all Android devices, but this device certainly seems like a viable option. One thing, though: does this work with Netflix or other streaming apps that rely on DRM?
The amazon listing says that it does not support Netflix, Amazon Video, Direct TV, hulu, and "...." implying that no, it does not work with Netflix or other apps that rely on DRM. I didn't even know this was an issue until I looked at the listing.
@@CollinWootan well DRM supported content isn't also supported by miracast, screen mirror on any device that's just the way its built.
@@fhinpus wait really? I never had this issue.
@ETA PRIME: Just ordered mine from Amazon. Thanks for the links and keep up the good work!
Just happy tht i can now have the option to play emulation at a bigger screen and on the go with my old gaming phone. 😊
Thanks for the tip ETA!
I'm actually getting quite awesome performance while casting from my PC to a TV screen. The lag being within 10-20 ms or less judging by my gaming feel - which is barely noticeable. It is important that one of the devices is connected via cable. Then depending on the distance to the router your minimal one way lag is 2-4ms and two way will be double that. Cable is pretty fast so you will also get the awesome experience. Also the TV monitor hardware is important. If you are pushing higher resolution the CPU needs to be stronger.
broo i literally searching for this cable and your video really helped 😭😭 thank you for the video
😂 same bro i was looking for this yestarday.
@@bWWd0 on developers option they say i can use desktop mode and i realize this is just screen mirror.
Same here
Thank you so much for this Information!
It is exactly, what i was looking forward to buy.
Thank you TH-cam. I was exactly looking for this.
Great find!
Seen you had Genshin Impact on the tablet, love that game!
I NEED one of these. I have literally been searching for years for an adapter that does all of that. My Galaxy tab A is about to get a new use.
You can use any pc mouse on every tab and android phone with usb to usb c adapter using a hub and with hdmi adapter have a pc.
Amazing I have always wanted this. I tried other adapters but they all need true HDMI to be present in the phone which is only for very expensive phones.
I made sure I subscribed after the help I got from this video, God bless you bro.
Works on Google Pixel 3XL, which natively does not have HDMI capabilities. I'll test Pixel 4 XL later, again no HDMI. I can't tell if there's any lag, though I haven't done any close examination. Casting to a Chromecast you can definitely see a difference, pixelation and lag.
I was waiting for this day !
I finally got one, I was surprised and amazed. Thank you for the video.
Hi. What is the name of this adapter. I trying to find on allexpres store
THANK YOU for this vid. Exactly what I wanted to see. I wanted a cable that would use micro usb and charge while outputing to hdmi from my samsung galaxy note 10.1. This is the perfect soln.
As soon as i read that description, I clicked that link an bought it before I finished watching. NEEDED
same here :)
crazy, the delay ingame is much smaller than on the phone menu
Thats awesome, I just realized I can buy the cable here from México, I just bought it a week ago and waiting upon for Arrival, I wanna test My cellphone and conect into a portable touch screen
Thanks for the informative upload. The one I purchased has a small hole where you can push a button and default the unit to plug n play. I haven't tried the P&P but the casting function works well.
What exactly is the plug and play option? I just got mine in today and was curious about it.
@@jrtishner I'm assuming plug n play is just plug it in and it's ready to go but I have not tried it to be honest. It's been working since I set it up so I haven't changed any settings or tried any other options. It updates regularly so now has an additional live TV feature but I didn't think much of the channels.
This is awesome! I've been looking for something like this because I can't afford a high end phone that can display on tv/monitor. Thank you. Now I'm off to Amazon. Oh, btw, can I run it off a powerbank? Thank you so much in advance
Some TVs have USB outputs on the back and it can work perfectly with that.
My Xperia 1 has Type-C port, it's nice to have lag-free casting via HDMI, but for some videos I notice some artifacts compared to the raw video when playing on VLC. It must not be enough data going through the cable.
Do you have any tips re: aspect ratio? The Xperia 1 is a 21:9 device, isn't it?
Since it's using the built in cast function in Android, my guess is that it's using ethernet over USB 2.0, which would require compression to avoid bandwidth issues.
@@ugh.idontwanna You can install ADB app on another phone and connect it with your Xperia 1.( Dont worry even if you enter somthing wrong it wont damage your phone.) Then you can watch the vide called Get 5x gaming performance on Android by Grabster. You can now set your screen resolution to 1920×1080 and it will work fine
That screen has a very high resolution so its probably causing bandwidth issues
The problem is that you're using VLC.
These were around for micro SD years ago. I have one that I used with my Galaxy Note. II. It is much less complicated. It is basically a multi-function hub with HDMI, micro SD & full SD card slots, a full size USB port and a micro USB port for charging. It didn't need any apps. You just attached it to an HDMI port but I don't think that it worked with all Android phones. It needed a protocol that only the higher end phones like Samsung had. I used it at home and took it to friend's houses to watch movies. That was long before smart TVs, Chromecast and before Android boxes were cheap and easy to get. I didn't play games with it but it worked very well for movies. I just pulled it out. Now I have to see what I can still use it for, maybe with a USB C converter.
Yup, those don't work with Xiaomi phones which dont have the MHL protocol.
Thank you, needed to see this!
I would definitely recommend plugging it in to at least a 2A / 10W power supply. Considering the dongle itself requires power, your current setup would be delivering less than 5W to the phone which could cause the battery to deplete on some devices.
It would be handy to show the power draw in future videos. Some apps can estimate it so it would only take a few seconds to show how much it's using before and after the device is running.
Makes sense! 👍🏻
Great review. Picked one of these up and use it with my Google pixel 4a 5g. Wouldn't recommend it for gaming to much latency. Played some Horizon Chase with a Bluetooth controller and found it really noticeable. Not awful and maybe I'd adjust to it, but definitely noticeable. Still worth getting for watching videos on a bigger screen.
Can you show Amazon prime or HBO max on the TV screen?
Would be cool if you could do more of a desktop mode/productivity, test/review with a mouse and keyboard.
I might need this. I used an S5 which supports MHL for retro gaming but it barely supports N64 and PSP.
DS, PS1 and GBA is fine but sucks that the MHL cable took the power from the phone significantly.
The fact that this converter has a built in CPU and RAM seem promising, i would assume the converting work is all handled in the built in cpu without using any of my phone juices.
How about that?! All of the Arcades and games combined from basically the 80s and 90s all fit in your pocket today. F███in mindblowing. I love this era.
Very impressive.
Did any of the devices tested use Micro USB connectivity as it would be useful to see if things are as reliable using that as it is for USB-C?
The lack of HDMI over USB-C has stopped me purchasing any a device that you have reviewed and in the end I purchased a screen damaged Mate 20 Pro and type C hub to provide connectivity to my TV as use it as a TV box/gaming setup.
Would still be useful to be able to hook up other devices that o not support MHL etc from time to time.
I'm learning a lot with your videos man you and Taki are the best teacher in this matters, for emulation and technology in general. I wanted your advice in two things. For Android boxes installs would you advise using retro arch or stand alone emulators? Which will it be quicker and easier in terms of UI? Is there a easy way to install stuff on through SD card in the Android 11 getting lot of bugs and "can't access SD card" in tanix w2 s905w2
Thanks for the video! When you connect a bluetooth controller to the phone, does the connection from the phone to the adapter still work? Thanks
I have a different version of this with a 3.5mm input for audio. It worked great for a while, but after a few updates it now keeps dropping the connection after just a minute or two, and sometimes as soon as I launch whatever app I want to use on my TV. It's like my phone is super-aggressively shutting down the casting app, even though I haven't updated the OS or changed any settings.
Looks nice! Is it sold anywhere besides amazon? I try not to shop at amazon anymore.
Awesome video! waiting for this! What's the difference of the two devices linked? one has Bluetooth for the sound and the other one has sound included?
Was very excited to learn about this product.. rushed over to buy one and sadly the seller doesn't ship to my country..😭😭... Great video anyway.. thank you...
Mine arrived today!
Quick review:
1. Latency is great. Small notable lag, but way better in comparison to wireless
2. Sadly sound only over bluetooth. For me this introduces siginficant lag to the sound. Have to find another solution for this
3. Ease of use? 100%. Got that thing running in under 5 minutes.
I am so happy. Now my Samsung galaxy s10 lite can also be displayed over hdmi.
Bro does it work with Netflix?
@@syajarundadameah6442 no
Did you ever figure out a solution for the audio lag?
@@bokobokomachine sadly not
@@Seroth969 Maybe you could try setting up sndcpy and see if the latency is better than the Bluetooth connection. From my experience, there's still some latency of around a quarter to half a second.
Btw, around how bad is the Bluetooth lag?
Cool Video, I might buy this if I can find a good deal.
I've actually bought this adapter and it's really awesome. It doesn't work well if I had my device refresh rate set to 144hz so I had to take it down to 60hz but I can't notice or sense any lag with it
With this device is there a way to use the monitor as a second screen versus just casting the same screen again?
Fantastic! Im happy I found this video. I have a Moto G Fast... Wish it was direct HDMI not cast to chip but this is a great option if you don't want to use chrome cast because of delay. I wish there was no delay. I really wanna see what it will do with call of duty game. That's why I'm buying it.
How did it work for you?? I just got the same setup
I couldn't tell if the audio is too much behind the video though... the video wasn't loud enough for me to tell if the Bluetooth connectivity matches the screen or not, in my case BT is typically half a second behind when playing games

Love this and actually have one for my OnePlus 7 pro. Sucks tho cause I can't use it on my current phone due to what I assume to be an android 12 bug. But the 7 pro is still very capable for emulation so I can't complain too much. I have a OnePlus 8t atm if you were wondering.

@@unliving_ball_of_gas Stadia does not lag if you have a fiber connection
I'm wondering if it would be a good option for the Tab S6 lite since it doent have DEX or TV output?
I was researching that before looking to get a S6 lite, but it seems like Samsung dropped the DEX except S6 and above, or if you can find S5e, that would work but S5e is priced between S6 and S6 Lite and its benchmark just barely above S6 Lite. I checked iPlay 40 and it supports MHL. So anything that says it support MHL will work, but not S6 lite.
ETA you are a genius thanks for the video now I can play my game from my phone

I haven't seen it used in Poco M3. I'm curious how it worked and if it has delay with MI UI
Feels like half sec input lag on Poco x3 pro for call of duty mobile. Also feels hot
My biggest complaint with these things is the different aspect ratio. I wish they would just cut the the edges, so the screen could be fitted to the whole instead just partly.
Install SecondScreen app and set the HDMI resolution & dpi.
I love this man.Thank you sir. I tried so hard to find a solution and you gave me one. Sincerely praying to God to bless you.
Can you please clarify two things for me? @ETA Prime
1. Can we use Android 10 desktop mode with connecting via HDMI like this? Will it work?
2. If I connect the USB C end from a hub, rather than directly from the phone (I want to connect other devices too like keyboard, mouse, pendrive), will that work too?
It's not available anymore on Amazon. Please make a follow up
Please make an update :'((
The worst thing is that thing still requires wireless networks and authorizations. MHL was free of that crap
Yup
@@PaulCotton but does my tv need mira cast app ?
still requires wireless networks? means that simple pc monitor unable to run it?
Is affordable getting a 60 MHz transmissor, which connects direct and wirelessly with no Internet. Sadly I have never found it and webs from Tech Channels are expired.
That main issue is this uses micro usb for backwards compatibility but that's only USB 2.0 bandwidth. That would explain why the quality isn't as good. Can u maybe do a comparison with a native USB C 3.0 version and see if it's any better quality?
I almost for got to keep your phone charge turn your brightness down a little and your phone will stay charge unplug unit from phone charger when not in use Love you ETA
Any idea if it will work on a Fire tablet (with the play store installed?)
I asked the same thing and didn’t get an answer yet...any updates?
You should have played a video with people talking to show the audio latency. It's not really bad, but it's definitely noticeable when you're playing games.
Oh yea. Bluetooth audio have latency except for aptx ll, right?
@@unmeaninglessly143 Yes. But it only matters if you're trying to watch video. And with the steering wheel controls I mentioned, you can use those controls while having audio going through an auxiliary input, FM transmitter, tape adapter etc.
@@SquishySenpai i mainly want to watch videos with. I thought of the same thing; using wired audio output. I read that bluetooth 5.0 almost unnoticeable latency. Anyway, I'll try to make a slimport setup instead. Both a/v goes directly into the external display so no lag.
Very informative video, straight to the point!

That's sucks. I'm glad you mention that.
Unable? Why?
@@elfedorausado due to DRM. It's common.
@@aaronlee7991 mmm. I fail to understand how would that infringe anything, if all I would be doing is proyecting the service I already pay for into a larger screen for mere convenience. If I were to cast said service to show to a larger audience, say, a backyard screening of a copyrighted film,, I would understand
@@elfedorausado My guess is a marketing tactic. They force us to buy streaming device like ps4/5, roku stick, etc. just to watch on your tv. Otherwise no point buying them when your phone does almost everything.
Wonder if it works with FireOS as it's just modified Android.
The FireOS also has the Wireless Cast option that is just hidden lol, BUT you CAN access it, but yea this should also work for Fire Tablets
I like this one. I appreciate you filmed this!!
I just have a question, does this AOC Monitor the only Monitor can connect to any phones or tablets?
Or can I try to use other Monitors?
For example some affordable or cheap ones? Do I need to be sure that they have HDMI port so I can do that?
I'm thinking to have and try Monitor lately... Just for my gaming experience as well as to share more contents here in my YT Channel with that Monitor connected with my Phone or Tablet....
I hope you'll respond. Thanks in advance. 😊
Finally someone gets it right! Thank you so much!
Did you tested Netflix? AFAIK this screen-capturing solutions don't play nicely with DRM.
Netflix would work if the device has Widevine L3 instead of L1.
But it would be limited to SD Quality.
For Netflix HD Widevine L1 is a must have and that's were get a black screen because of DRM protection (L1). unless the whole thing can do proper HDCP over HDMI.
I was wondering about the same thing.
So i asked ETA Prime 2 questions here in the comment section. Let's see if he will read it and also has the time to check if any of those devices (that he tested) has Widevine L1 🤓
Mmmm. I have read a review at Amazon of the "optional" and it looks that it doesn't work. It had attached one picture where you see that the film was being played at the phone, but no film was on the TV screen.
I guess that the DRM has a mechanism to prevent this.
The product on Amazon says that Netflix won't work and any other paid app like Amazon prime
@@JiSiN3000 No mate this devise works by screen recording and sending the live feed compressed over USB, so Netflix and other streaming services detect the screen recording and disable it on software level, it's not the L1 L3 or L420 level it's the way that this device works, I have displaylink adapter which works the same way but for using your phone as Gamecube, Wii, PSP, PS2 or N64 to a TV from your phone is a good option
@@Thorin88 thanks for this comment. I was reading the second listed as "optical" instead of "optional" and I was very confused.
I think it only work on devices with MHL Support.
The company behind this tech are EzCast. They have a channel here with a number of related products. They seem to have started doing dongles which stream over WiFi to hdmi so I guess they took all that software r&d and bundle it up in a form factor that pushes data over usb instead of WiFi.
Awesome!!! Thank you sir!👍🏾
