I just bought this for $18 and it worked with my Pixel 2! Connected my phone to a small usb hub with a charging port and was able to charge my phone while casting as well. Also the device takes sound from the phone and can transmit it through HDMI. Amazing! I bought the Chinese adapter from one of your other videos before this and that one had a noticeable lag. Also, the HDMI part that plugged into the screen got extremely hot after short use. I had to return it on day one.
Hung, what cable did you use to connect the phone to the Targus hub? I bought the hub and connected a USB-C cable from my Samsung to the USB ports on the hub but none of them worked. Did you do what he did? Connect a UsbB to the hub and a Usb C (or Usb A with C adapter) to your phone?

Something that's blowing my mind here is that in your short Asphalt clip, the timer on the top right of the game on the monitor is actually AHEAD of the timer on the phone. For example at 6:57 in the video the timer on the monitor reads 00:28.461, whereas it reads 00:28.378 on the phone. So the monitor is ahead by 83ms. Essentially the monitor is predicting the future.
DUDE!!! YOU ARE AMAzing for thiS! They killed so much mhl support on phones after kitkat and this is stunning! No wifi, no crap. Just mirror and save tons of aggrivation. Serious thank you bro. I will share this with the right people
It's frustrating that you can count on one hand the number of manufacturers that have phones with built-in support for USB C to HDMI. Of course, the other side of the equation is software like Dex to make the most of it, but it's a shame that functionality isn't part of Android in any useful way.
Agreed. It's shameful that Google hasn't made this a feature straight out of the box, or that it's a standard feature for all manufacturers. The more they make phones difficult to connect to screens, the more they become irrelevant.
@@CaptainCaveman1170 Yes, 4 cents to display the MHL logo, and whatever it costs to include the hardware. SlimPort is free and found on some Google and LG devices, but is much less widespread, so while you'll find TVs with built in MHL, you won't find them with SlimPort.
actually since android 10 there's a desktop environment built in but it's still in beta and seems like they never update it so it can became as good as dex or probably like motorola
With a whole lot of average computing needs of budget laptops or similar devices replaced THIS IS Way Environment Friendly than not including 3.5mm jack or even Charging Adaptor n Cable 😂.
Yup. There are also screen rotation apps that can lock displays to landscape mode too. Only a small handful of apps will ignore that app, but they're not worth keeping.
This video really helped a lot. I bought a OnePlus8T for emulation and I found out that Android 12 took away the feature for Type C HDMI output. I was sad af. This video randomly popped a few weeks after I got my phone. I found an inexpensive dock with DisplayLink. Took some time to find the right cords but I was able to find them. Plugged it up and everything worked. I have several Android devices that don't have Usb C video out. This helped tremendously. I was gonna try and install a custom firmware or rom on the phone to get usb c functionality back. This saved me so much trouble. Thank you for your service!
Hello, I just want to point out that resolution can actually be changed without root. All you need is ADB. You can either use PC or just the phone itself (if you have Android 11+). Full HD example: adb shell "wm size 1080x1920; wm density 160" More items can fit on the screen as the density is set to lower. To reset: adb shell "wm size reset; wm density reset" For notched screens, I recommend setting "Simulated display with cutout" to Waterfall cutout. If you're on Android 11 or older, black bars would vanish in landscape. Tested on Samsung ROMS (since Android 7.0). Other ROMs may not play well. Don't go crazy with the values. Try at your own risk!
Wazzuh eta prime. So I got a Targus displaylink on ebay for only 50 dollars and ac adapter included but I bought that separately (I went with a middle priced dock due to not trusting really cheap docks) To play codm on my Samsung Galaxy A32 5G. I was a little confused on how to get it working since my tv wasn't identifying a signal. It started working finally after messing around with the wires after about 2 minutes. There is no latency at all. For the most part it's 1:1 real-time. This is a life saver since my phone is not MHL supported. Thanks bro. :)
@@allfacts19 I messed around with the wiring. I switched the hdmis around. It's been working. Just mess around with the wiring. If that doesn't work then I'm not 100% sure
@@allfacts19 no I switched around the cord. So the hdmi side of the wire that goes into the tv goes into the docking station. And the docking station side of the hdmi wire goes into the tv. Switch it around. Or if your TV has another hdmi port, try that as well

Hi, how well did it work with the Xbox games? I am thinking about trying one of these. I have the Miracast cable he showed a year ago. It works for older games, but lags for newer ones with high graphics, because the cable is just not powerful enough to handle the video.
Hi there, if you remember you posted a video of similar type of hdmi from any phone months ago, which used miraplug, i bought that one but was dissapointed with the quality of video, i mean there was some sort of compression which decreased the image quality, even though it was quite lag free but mostly i wanted to use it for video out and any miracast system even wired one compresses output of the video, unlike a real usb 3.1 alt out phones. So i was wondering about the quality of the displaylink, does it also compresses the output of the video or is it like a real usb 3.1 alt out like hdmi. thanks again, you always post interesting tech videos.
I don't the dock he used in the video, but i do have a monitor that used Displaylink over usb. I noticed that on Android, the Displaylink Presenter app used native casting function on Android. So the result is the image always have some compression in it, i think it's because Android prioritize speed over quality. Also the color isn't as nice, compared to connecting it to a computer through the same USB connection. Over on pc my display seem to have some slight input lag compared to no lag on Android, but it has no compression. So i think it's just how it works on Android
I have lenovo displaylink dock and my phone has only USB 2.0 and everything from phone gallery (videos) works great and it's in my phone's resolution, but yotube resolution drops when in landscape mode, it is little worse than my phone 1080p it scales down to maybe 720p?.
Guys, guys, don't buy this product. I promise you will be disappointed. I once bought a wired casting device featured in an ETA Prime video before. (1) the lag IS bad, you can actually see plainly in the video that it's bad. Unless you are extremely OK with laggy gameplay, don't do it. (2) What you probably won't see in this video is that the video output will look very compressed and not crisp 1080p at all. This setup is squeezing the video signal through USB 2.0 speeds. If you want TV output from a phone, you're much better off buying a used OnePlus 7 Pro or Galaxy S10.
One mans lag is another mans perfectly fine! I've used display link and also native USB 3.0 HDMI out and can't tell the difference in emulation - both are just fine and a lot better than wireless casting
@@jazzyj8850 I'm open to being proved wrong but ETA's footage seems to have both input lag and really obvious dropped frames. Would've been nice if he had run it through an HDMI capture card so we could see the results more directly.
I actually ordered this displaylink after watching this video and it works perfect!! You can even buy a type c splitter to charge your phone while using it. Game changer.
@@charlesreyes8741 No brand, it's Aliexpress :-D The store name was HDmatters Official Store. If I search that purchase, the link now goes to another product, unfortunately. Maybe they still offer it though.
I really wish that pixel would support alt mode, but I really hope this device works out especially since I'm a big pixel fan. Just placed my order, hope it works out
This method is super working but i dont recommended using usb c to a adapter instead use usb c hub with pd to make it safe btw im using wavlink usb 3.0 displaylink adapter for around 7 months now and using it both of my red note 9s and currently my xiaomi pad 5 and works super flawlessly with a little bit of tweak for the miui devices
I wish they'd add 16:9 output option to these apps like when doing wireless casting. My current Galaxy A51 is not only 21:9, but when rotated sideways shrinks a little bit on the left to avoid showing the hole-punch camera, which looks fine on it's own screen, but casts that to the adapter too. So, I end up with not just the bars on top and bottom, but a bar and rounded corners on left. I don't really want to root my phone either.
My Samsung Note 9 (which also supports Dex) but if I shared my screen or mirrored my screen via wireless or HDMI it would give me the option to do the native phone ratio or 16:9 and it would redraw the phone's screen in 16:9 on both devices.
@@djw1091994 Sadly no Dex or native video out on the A series so far, so switching to 16:9 has to be done via the software doing the wired link to the device, unfortunately.
My Note 8 has the same problem. As DEX was broken for the Note 8 (cannot exit any windows with a mouse by clicking the "X" in the corner of the window), I had to use screen mirror, which cannot support 16.9 aspect ratio....
Casting is basically mirroring, so it shows the same exact resolution or aspect ratio as the smartphone screen. Desktop Mode feature is the only way to get custom resolution or aspect ratio.
If you do into the display options the full screen apps or something you can force apps to use the whole display but depending on the app they may or may not be something you can't tap at all
Damn, that's a nice lag free option for devices w/o video out. Shame my mini hub doesn't have Displaylink. I see Wavlink has a smaller USB 3 to HDMI Displaylink device for about 40usd on Amazon. How well does Displaylink handle over USB 2 speeds, many Xiaomi phones still use that spec for their USB C ports?
I think you can still charge your phone if you use a USB hub and then connect to the power and to the displaylink device, thanks for the video I was looking for a good video on theses devices on phones for months
If you have Samsung you can connect to your Tv with Samsung Dex wirelessly. Or just use Smartview and you can also go into settings to make it fullscreen. This way you dont need all the wires and you can still charge.
Just ordered one! I have galaxy a42 5g but it doesn't support hdmi out over usb c so I've been bummed but really looking forward to trying this and for $30 shipped I don't have much to lose if it doesn't work. Thanks for bringing attention to this
This is pretty good for the price point of 30 bucks. A raspberry pi may cost more depending on which one you get but with scrcpy application on the pi it can do most of what that does. It charges while connect too.
Use Blackr from the play store to simulate a locked screen like state over any running app on your phone. Will save battery life while your phone display is running on the monitor.
Is it possible to have a dual port USB C adapter to charge it and utilise the hdmi mirroring? I don't think the wireless charger seems optimal given the heat it outputs.
I believe it can handle video but not video and audio the way that HDMI can. The video alone is sent over the USB cable and the audio is sent to the adapter by Bluetooth. Then the audio and video are recombined and sent HDMI to the TV
You are brilliant! A life saver.....maybe not a life saver but Definitely a Money Saver! I just have one question for you please. I have a Poco F3, and i want to connect it to my Desktop monitor for gaming. I was wondering, what connects from the Display Link to the TV? I see you have a USB B to the phone, which connects to the Display Link, but what would you connect from the Display Link to the Monitor? Kind Regards
if I'm not mistaken, the poco f3 connects to any USB C hub. It doesn't need a display link drive hub! But poco f1 needs display link, it doesn't just connect with USB C!

Just tried a Xiaomi Mi Pad 5 with a Dell D6000 USB C dock, worked perfectly in conjunction with the displaylink app, had HDMI output, working usb and network ports AND it charges the tablet whilst in use
Would be interested in seeing what other launchers for desktop type use are available that you recommend? For a 'dex' type or android pc type experience rather than simply using ATV.
Nice workaround for not having HDMI over USB-C. It's this better than using the cast over USB adapter cable you showed off a few years ago? I believe that charged over USB unlike this DisplayLink adapter.
Whilst this dock is useful, sadly, most of the second user sales do not come with the power cable, which cannot be utilised by a common barrel connector type because Targus used a proprietary connector. And you can already guess that the ac adapter alone can cost as much as the dock.
Nexdock is too expensive I would buy it maybe up to 100$ but price for it is basically same exact price of a brand new phone like Poco f3, Poco X3 pro and redmi note 10 pro.
can charge and use displaylink at the same time if you use a usb-c style dock/hub (with PD!), instead of an A->C adapter. it'd be nice if devices had hdmi alt-mode.
Is this better than the HDMI cable you showed from feb 2 2021? I own that one, and it works. But it definitely isn't native 1080p, even if the final output is. Plus it had some decent lag added
One more ditty! Super important. The cable from feb 2021, as well as older mhl on say my original tab s, DO NOT work with home theater receivers. I have a newer Yamaha, Sony, and jvc HDMI reciever. Even powering through a wall wart, it does not work. Plugging directly to my TV's and projector, worked fine. Then use ARC to send audio to a reciever. Not sure if it's the same with this product
Not sure about gamepass. Does android block video out for that? If not, you should be ok. I know PC streaming on moonlight works Because even on that feb 2021 cable, things like Hulu/Netflix only output audio. Strange.
@@tylerwhitney3443 no this cable worked pretty much like this product does. A program captured video from any Android with otg, compresses it into data. That the actual dongle has a processor that processes the data, outputs the video. But required Bluetooth, to do audio. Worked similar to Miracast, but everything was wired. I'm not sure if it was chip or bandwidth limitations, but it couldn't have been even true 720p. It did output 1080p, but definitely not native. Lots of macro blocking too. So I was curious if this huge box is any better
If you don't want to spend a lot on the adapter, you could use scrcpy and display it on your computer, just make sure to use usb 3.0 port whenever you can to avoid latency and resolution issues
So do you think this is a better option than that $20 adapter you covered last year? Because I bought that and thought the picture output was pretty lackluster lol.
My phone used to show black bars like this but if I pinch my screen and just spread my fingers a bit it resizes the image to the whole screen. I have enabled an option to do so, in the Dev options on my phone .📱😁 Before I had this phone For the last 4 yrs I used an adapter to use my phone on my TV screen(HDMI out) it's just a small box with a USBC connection with HDMI, USB A & Mini USB it was only like 20$ on Amazon and makes it HDMI out. I believe I also used a software called ez cast to get it to work.(obviously I tethered but still needed the software) Now I have Ready For so I no longer need the adapter.
Now if you rocked out with the tab7 lite you have so much more and it's just a little bigger than the a32, plus you have the option to jump to full out windows PC mode on the tab7. I love this tablet I got it for 15$ plus tax at metro on sale brand new along with the A32 5g, IMHO with developers options off and some personal tweaks the 32 holds its own next to most flagship devices which is impressive.. it shows how far samsung surpassed apple!
There are a few other good phones with display out. The upper end of the Motorola series comes with a display adaptor. I'm currently using a G100 that links up to my tv very easily. I hear the G200 and the edge series have this ability as well, although I have not used them to verify the validity of what I had heard.
Since this is in the same price range, would you recommend it over MHL adapters for phones/tablets? Is there any significant difference between the two?
@@primalconvoy Not... Exactly. I mean yes, but no. The phone has to support it, yes, but it's on the software/firmware side, so TECHNICALLY any phone with a high speed enough USB port can use it. It allows lower resolution and frame rates on older devices that couldn't keep up with even 1080p60 and just outputs then in 720p. In the case of a lot Chinese phones in particular, they will support MHL simply because it doesn't cost them anything to do so, and it's another marketable feature. I have a BV9900 myself for the FLIR camera, and it supports MHL, but... Since the cost is about the same, where should I spend my money? And I know I can't be the ONLY ONE here who owns a Chinese phone with that same restriction... 😜 Edit: to clarify, the MHL protocol places the encoding/decoding/decompression chips etc. all in an external device, rather than the phone or tablet itself, so it costs them nothing in hardware or development to choose to support MHL.
@@ArtemisKitty thanks. Ive researched the internet ur comment on TH-cam was the most insightful knowledgeable info on MHL that I've seen. It blows my mind the lack of info on this simple thing
@@DragonPop64 Haha, yeah. I spent so much time looking it up and reading datasheets, and I still only partially understand it myself... Hopefully the info in my post was helpful for you!
Question guys: Is a USB-C to USB B cable necessary to connect the phone to the Targus hub? I bought the hub and connected a USB-C cable from my Samsung to the USB ports on the hub but none of them worked. Wondering if I need to buy a USB B to USB C cable on Amazon.
I've used that particular Target adapter (and its Dell equivalent). They've very unreliable. As in the video output stops working, and you're basically left with a large USB hub. If I was going to try this out, I'd use another adapter. Another tidbit of information - if I remember correctly, this used to work quite well on Samsung phones (without any additional software being required), until they rolled out DEX. Then all of a sudden it stopped working unless the adapter was a DEX-approved device or something like that. It was some time ago, but I remember wanting to demonstrate the feature to management after testing it using our displaylink adapters at the office, only to realise that the feature had suddenly stopped working after the phone s/w was updated, grr. Looks like installing the apps you've listed is a nice workaround for the issue, so I'm definitely going to try it out.
To solve the black border issue, many tv's and monitors now a days have overscan/underscan. Depending on the display, you can zoom/stretch the display. However if you change the display settings, most likely what will happen is that the quality of the image will end up pixelating a bit. So basically it's your choice to get rid of the black border, or suffer a little bit of pixelation.
Hello, Really cool video, was looking for something like this for my Xiaomi phone. Do you know if this HP 3005PR would work to connect the phone to a monitor ? Thanks !
To charge the phone you could and idk if it would work but you could try to split the usb connection to separate ports one for power only and one for the dock but your device may not fast charge but it would be some kind of power it shouldn't be much on Amazon for example
Yes. The Google Pixel 6 ETA tested in this video doesn't have any wired video output abilities from the factory. That omission has been a complaint of Pixel fans for years. It's thought that Google doesn't include it because they want to sell more Chromecast dongles, similar to brands removing the 3.5mm audio jack so they can sell more Bluetooth headphones. I have no clue if there's any truth to that, or not.

I've watched several of your videos, but due to the large number and my limited English, I couldn't quite understand them. I'd like to directly inquire about something related to connecting a phone to a TV. I want to use an emulator on my phone for PS2, Wii, NGC (I'm using Dolphin) and screen mirror it to the TV. Wireless options have too much latency. My phone, POCO F2 Pro, and Huawei Nova 7se don't support Type C to HDMI. Among the various methods you've mentioned, which is the most suitable, considering both cost and minimal latency? I've seen you mention adapters, decks, and cables, but I'm unsure if they work with phones that don't support Type C to HDMI. Also, some people mention that using a non-powered adapter may lead to connection issues due to insufficient phone power, while using cables may cause overheating. Can you provide some advice? Thank you.
It's insane newer can't natively output HDMI video, while my old Xperia SP (2013) does that and I can even turn its screen off while it outputs to the TV.
I still believe that HDMI ALT should be mandatory for all modern smartphones, even if you only have USB-C 2.0.

More items can fit on the screen as the density is set to lower.

I know it's been a long time since your comment but if you read this, can you tell me please if the hub needs the charger? I only plugged the usb b cable and it wasn't recognized on neither my phone or laptop
I just bought one on eBay for 30 dollars with all the cords (most don't have them), I can't wait to play emulation or Xbox Gamepass Cloud using my phone. Awesome video, thanks!
Let me know if this works. I might return my Miracast adapter....the res is rough
What is the brand name ?!
@@TamerEldegwy I bought this one since it looks nearly identical to the one in the video (and if you pause at 2:08 you can see the exact model which is the same), "Targus ACP70USZ Universal USB 3.0 DVI HDMI LAN Docking Station with AC Adapter" the seller was, "CLR Solutions LLC" I'd put a link but It might delete my reply. I hope this helps!
@@tylerwhitney3443 If it all works out ill definitely leave a reply :)
Hi, how well did it work with the Xbox games? I am thinking about trying one of these. I have the Miracast cable he showed a year ago. It works for older games, but lags for newer ones with high graphics, because the cable is just not powerful enough to handle the video.
Hi there, if you remember you posted a video of similar type of hdmi from any phone months ago, which used miraplug, i bought that one but was dissapointed with the quality of video, i mean there was some sort of compression which decreased the image quality, even though it was quite lag free but mostly i wanted to use it for video out and any miracast system even wired one compresses output of the video, unlike a real usb 3.1 alt out phones.
So i was wondering about the quality of the displaylink, does it also compresses the output of the video or is it like a real usb 3.1 alt out like hdmi.
thanks again, you always post interesting tech videos.
I don't the dock he used in the video, but i do have a monitor that used Displaylink over usb. I noticed that on Android, the Displaylink Presenter app used native casting function on Android. So the result is the image always have some compression in it, i think it's because Android prioritize speed over quality. Also the color isn't as nice, compared to connecting it to a computer through the same USB connection. Over on pc my display seem to have some slight input lag compared to no lag on Android, but it has no compression. So i think it's just how it works on Android
I've got the same question. No reply
Depends on the output from the device... Poco f3 for example only supports usb 2.0 so the signal will definitely reflect that
I have lenovo displaylink dock and my phone has only USB 2.0 and everything from phone gallery (videos) works great and it's in my phone's resolution, but yotube resolution drops when in landscape mode, it is little worse than my phone 1080p it scales down to maybe 720p?.
@Maka Paka you're able to mirror your usb2 cell phone to external TV with a Lenovo display link dock?
Guys, guys, don't buy this product. I promise you will be disappointed. I once bought a wired casting device featured in an ETA Prime video before. (1) the lag IS bad, you can actually see plainly in the video that it's bad. Unless you are extremely OK with laggy gameplay, don't do it. (2) What you probably won't see in this video is that the video output will look very compressed and not crisp 1080p at all. This setup is squeezing the video signal through USB 2.0 speeds.
If you want TV output from a phone, you're much better off buying a used OnePlus 7 Pro or Galaxy S10.
One mans lag is another mans perfectly fine! I've used display link and also native USB 3.0 HDMI out and can't tell the difference in emulation - both are just fine and a lot better than wireless casting
Or better yet buy one with a busted screen, get them even cheaper and can be a dedicated TV device
@@jazzyj8850 I'm open to being proved wrong but ETA's footage seems to have both input lag and really obvious dropped frames. Would've been nice if he had run it through an HDMI capture card so we could see the results more directly.
I actually ordered this displaylink after watching this video and it works perfect!! You can even buy a type c splitter to charge your phone while using it. Game changer.
This video comes at a perfect time! I was searching for something like this and you are here to save my life. Thanks alot!
Bought displaylink adapter on AliExpress for like 8 dollars 2 years ago. Worked with my Xiaomi.
Wowza, link nowadays?
What brand of displaylink adapter?
@@charlesreyes8741 No brand, it's Aliexpress :-D The store name was HDmatters Official Store. If I search that purchase, the link now goes to another product, unfortunately. Maybe they still offer it though.
You didn't mention anything about the power supply at all. It just sort of appeared after you spoke about the USB B cable.
Yeah just got mine without any cables was wondering about any other cables I need
Just bought one on eBay excited to see how well it works with a Moto Z3 Play
I really wish that pixel would support alt mode, but I really hope this device works out especially since I'm a big pixel fan. Just placed my order, hope it works out
This method is super working but i dont recommended using usb c to a adapter instead use usb c hub with pd to make it safe btw im using wavlink usb 3.0 displaylink adapter for around 7 months now and using it both of my red note 9s and currently my xiaomi pad 5 and works super flawlessly with a little bit of tweak for the miui devices
hi there can you share your settings in miui device to get this working right?
What do you mean by the " to make it safe" part, what can happen?
I wish they'd add 16:9 output option to these apps like when doing wireless casting. My current Galaxy A51 is not only 21:9, but when rotated sideways shrinks a little bit on the left to avoid showing the hole-punch camera, which looks fine on it's own screen, but casts that to the adapter too. So, I end up with not just the bars on top and bottom, but a bar and rounded corners on left. I don't really want to root my phone either.
My Samsung Note 9 (which also supports Dex) but if I shared my screen or mirrored my screen via wireless or HDMI it would give me the option to do the native phone ratio or 16:9 and it would redraw the phone's screen in 16:9 on both devices.
@@djw1091994 Sadly no Dex or native video out on the A series so far, so switching to 16:9 has to be done via the software doing the wired link to the device, unfortunately.
My Note 8 has the same problem. As DEX was broken for the Note 8 (cannot exit any windows with a mouse by clicking the "X" in the corner of the window), I had to use screen mirror, which cannot support 16.9 aspect ratio....
Casting is basically mirroring, so it shows the same exact resolution or aspect ratio as the smartphone screen. Desktop Mode feature is the only way to get custom resolution or aspect ratio.
If you do into the display options the full screen apps or something you can force apps to use the whole display but depending on the app they may or may not be something you can't tap at all
I just bought a s10 with a broken touch screen and use it, cost me $50. And quite powerful for gaming and streaming
Damn, that's a nice lag free option for devices w/o video out. Shame my mini hub doesn't have Displaylink.
I see Wavlink has a smaller USB 3 to HDMI Displaylink device for about 40usd on Amazon.
How well does Displaylink handle over USB 2 speeds, many Xiaomi phones still use that spec for their USB C ports?
Appreciate the hard work you've done for TH-cam
Agreed he has dropped some good informative content on tech
I think you can still charge your phone if you use a USB hub and then connect to the power and to the displaylink device, thanks for the video I was looking for a good video on theses devices on phones for months
If you have Samsung you can connect to your Tv with Samsung Dex wirelessly. Or just use Smartview and you can also go into settings to make it fullscreen. This way you dont need all the wires and you can still charge.
There will still be the latency problem right?
thanks! amazing! this is like having Samsung DEX. I might consider these solutions if ever I abandon x86 computing
Just ordered one! I have galaxy a42 5g but it doesn't support hdmi out over usb c so I've been bummed but really looking forward to trying this and for $30 shipped I don't have much to lose if it doesn't work. Thanks for bringing attention to this
Did this work on your samsung a52 5g? I would like a hdmi out on my A52 5g as well.
@@cruiseshipdreamer7003 it did work but the display link would freeze from time to time.
This is pretty good for the price point of 30 bucks. A raspberry pi may cost more depending on which one you get but with scrcpy application on the pi it can do most of what that does. It charges while connect too.
Use Blackr from the play store to simulate a locked screen like state over any running app on your phone. Will save battery life while your phone display is running on the monitor.
OneUi on Samsung supports landscape mode on homescreen
Is it possible to have a dual port USB C adapter to charge it and utilise the hdmi mirroring? I don't think the wireless charger seems optimal given the heat it outputs.
Yes, you just need a dual OTG cable.
Interesting that USB 3 B port can mirror displays. Didn't know it could do that.
I believe it can handle video but not video and audio the way that HDMI can. The video alone is sent over the USB cable and the audio is sent to the adapter by Bluetooth. Then the audio and video are recombined and sent HDMI to the TV
I prefer the adapter you showed us last year
Thank u!!! It really works!! I tried with diferents Mobiles and tablets that's no have hml native support, and I could display the screen on my tv
You are brilliant! A life saver.....maybe not a life saver but Definitely a Money Saver! I just have one question for you please. I have a Poco F3, and i want to connect it to my Desktop monitor for gaming. I was wondering, what connects from the Display Link to the TV? I see you have a USB B to the phone, which connects to the Display Link, but what would you connect from the Display Link to the Monitor?
Kind Regards
Bro did you find a solution I also have poco f3 but I cant connect my phone to the monitor help pkease
if I'm not mistaken, the poco f3 connects to any USB C hub.
It doesn't need a display link drive hub!
But poco f1 needs display link, it doesn't just connect with USB C!

Just tried a Xiaomi Mi Pad 5 with a Dell D6000 USB C dock, worked perfectly in conjunction with the displaylink app, had HDMI output, working usb and network ports AND it charges the tablet whilst in use
Do netflix and prime videos also work?
I really need this on my broken samsung s7. Now i can use my phone again even with broken screen. Thanks so much
Would be interested in seeing what other launchers for desktop type use are available that you recommend? For a 'dex' type or android pc type experience rather than simply using ATV.
Nice workaround for not having HDMI over USB-C. It's this better than using the cast over USB adapter cable you showed off a few years ago? I believe that charged over USB unlike this DisplayLink adapter.
Everyone: wish my phone had hdmi out
ETA Prime: hold my CHONK of an adapter
Whilst this dock is useful, sadly, most of the second user sales do not come with the power cable, which cannot be utilised by a common barrel connector type because Targus used a proprietary connector. And you can already guess that the ac adapter alone can cost as much as the dock.
Nexdock is too expensive I would buy it maybe up to 100$ but price for it is basically same exact price of a brand new phone like Poco f3, Poco X3 pro and redmi note 10 pro.
I wonder if there would be a market to make a USB C to HDMI Displaylink adapter dongle with power-in, and to see how small we can make it?
can charge and use displaylink at the same time if you use a usb-c style dock/hub (with PD!), instead of an A->C adapter. it'd be nice if devices had hdmi alt-mode.
Great video, as always! One question. Would this display link work with an Amazon Fire Tablet?
I use my PC for this. If you have usb debug on you can connect your phone through usb a to c and use a PC application to then mirror your phone.
the lack of charging sucks
I ordered one of these and then ordered a type c splitter on ebay and I can charge while using the displaylink
Is this better than the HDMI cable you showed from feb 2 2021?
I own that one, and it works. But it definitely isn't native 1080p, even if the final output is. Plus it had some decent lag added
can u use apps like gamepass with it? I'm looking for something like this that can display gamepass
One more ditty! Super important.
The cable from feb 2021, as well as older mhl on say my original tab s, DO NOT work with home theater receivers. I have a newer Yamaha, Sony, and jvc HDMI reciever. Even powering through a wall wart, it does not work.
Plugging directly to my TV's and projector, worked fine. Then use ARC to send audio to a reciever.
Not sure if it's the same with this product
Not sure about gamepass. Does android block video out for that? If not, you should be ok. I know PC streaming on moonlight works
Because even on that feb 2021 cable, things like Hulu/Netflix only output audio. Strange.
The Miracast adapter? I'm curious too, I'd rather use this for $10 more and HDMI
@@tylerwhitney3443 no this cable worked pretty much like this product does. A program captured video from any Android with otg, compresses it into data. That the actual dongle has a processor that processes the data, outputs the video. But required Bluetooth, to do audio.
Worked similar to Miracast, but everything was wired.
I'm not sure if it was chip or bandwidth limitations, but it couldn't have been even true 720p. It did output 1080p, but definitely not native. Lots of macro blocking too.
So I was curious if this huge box is any better
In Samsung phones you can rotate your home screen by just going into home screen settings and enable home screen rotation
Great video, a really useful option!
Thanks!!
There ya go, making me buy several of these units, I hope i got a compatible model targus unit that will do the same job. well done on the vid.
This is nice to be paired with desktop launchers like Lumina.
Thanks for the fantastic video 😊 if i download the app on my tablet,does it also work if i only connect with a usb-c to hdmi cable? ?
Can't wait to see what the s22 can do
If you don't want to spend a lot on the adapter, you could use scrcpy and display it on your computer, just make sure to use usb 3.0 port whenever you can to avoid latency and resolution issues
This is referring to a TV only
Thanks ETA for the video. This is the solution I needed for my project! Hoot!
Great solution! I missed this way as of yet, and those used docks are really cheap!
So do you think this is a better option than that $20 adapter you covered last year? Because I bought that and thought the picture output was pretty lackluster lol.
Ditto, I'm gonna get this $30 one for better quality.
It'd be great if there's a support without side loading any apk. Would be very very useful in phones/tab whose screen doesn't work.
I'm so thankful for Dex on my Galaxy. And ready for on the Motorola
looks smoother on phone than on screen
Some 3rd party launchers like Microsoft Launcher allow rotation on the home screen without the need for an extra app to control rotation
Can we display smartphone directly to a monitor without the PC?
@@2006carlson been asking the same but no one answers lol
Do you need the Power Adapter 5V 6.5A?
My phone used to show black bars like this but if I pinch my screen and just spread my fingers a bit it resizes the image to the whole screen.
I have enabled an option to do so, in the Dev options on my phone .📱😁
Before I had this phone For the last 4 yrs I used an adapter to use my phone on my TV screen(HDMI out) it's just a small box with a USBC connection with HDMI, USB A & Mini USB it was only like 20$ on Amazon and makes it HDMI out. I believe I also used a software called ez cast to get it to work.(obviously I tethered but still needed the software)
Now I have Ready For so I no longer need the adapter.
Hi!
Excellent review!
Do you know if it'll work with the Xiaomi Pad 5?
Thanks!
1:27 you can actually do this too if unrooted just need to give a permission to an app called second screen.
Now if you rocked out with the tab7 lite you have so much more and it's just a little bigger than the a32, plus you have the option to jump to full out windows PC mode on the tab7. I love this tablet I got it for 15$ plus tax at metro on sale brand new along with the A32 5g, IMHO with developers options off and some personal tweaks the 32 holds its own next to most flagship devices which is impressive.. it shows how far samsung surpassed apple!
There are a few other good phones with display out.
The upper end of the Motorola series comes with a display adaptor. I'm currently using a G100 that links up to my tv very easily. I hear the G200 and the edge series have this ability as well, although I have not used them to verify the validity of what I had heard.
Btw, based on your suggestions, I have spent a fortune buying items you have featured on your page here.
Thanks for being my go-to tech dude.
Since this is in the same price range, would you recommend it over MHL adapters for phones/tablets? Is there any significant difference between the two?
I believe MHL only works for phones that can natively output to external screens?
@@primalconvoy Not... Exactly. I mean yes, but no. The phone has to support it, yes, but it's on the software/firmware side, so TECHNICALLY any phone with a high speed enough USB port can use it. It allows lower resolution and frame rates on older devices that couldn't keep up with even 1080p60 and just outputs then in 720p.
In the case of a lot Chinese phones in particular, they will support MHL simply because it doesn't cost them anything to do so, and it's another marketable feature.
I have a BV9900 myself for the FLIR camera, and it supports MHL, but... Since the cost is about the same, where should I spend my money?
And I know I can't be the ONLY ONE here who owns a Chinese phone with that same restriction... 😜
Edit: to clarify, the MHL protocol places the encoding/decoding/decompression chips etc. all in an external device, rather than the phone or tablet itself, so it costs them nothing in hardware or development to choose to support MHL.
@@ArtemisKitty Im pretty sure that mhl require its own hardware to be built in to the devices, not through its own software
@@ArtemisKitty thanks. Ive researched the internet ur comment on TH-cam was the most insightful knowledgeable info on MHL that I've seen. It blows my mind the lack of info on this simple thing
@@DragonPop64 Haha, yeah. I spent so much time looking it up and reading datasheets, and I still only partially understand it myself... Hopefully the info in my post was helpful for you!
is it just me or is the fps on the monitor very noticeably lower than the phones?
Does the A32 support usbc to hdmi without displaylink? Also didnt u make a video about a usb-c to hdmi cable a while back that supposedly worked?
This work much better than casting.
It does for sure, I've seen some people never have issues with casting but for me I've always run into a lot of lag
@@ETAPRIME I've heard some people can get low latency casting but I can't. Chromecast is on Ethernet, Pixel is on 5ghz wifi, still laggy
The homescreen can be changed to rotate if you hold down on it and tap setting on android phones or at least samsung phones.
Your videos convinced me to by a Poco f3 and I've never looked back.. surely it doesn't need to be usb3 as the phone is only capable of usb2
Question guys: Is a USB-C to USB B cable necessary to connect the phone to the Targus hub? I bought the hub and connected a USB-C cable from my Samsung to the USB ports on the hub but none of them worked.
Wondering if I need to buy a USB B to USB C cable on Amazon.
Any update?
Cheers
I eventually got it to work but I don't recall the answer to my question lol.
I've used that particular Target adapter (and its Dell equivalent). They've very unreliable. As in the video output stops working, and you're basically left with a large USB hub. If I was going to try this out, I'd use another adapter.
Another tidbit of information - if I remember correctly, this used to work quite well on Samsung phones (without any additional software being required), until they rolled out DEX. Then all of a sudden it stopped working unless the adapter was a DEX-approved device or something like that. It was some time ago, but I remember wanting to demonstrate the feature to management after testing it using our displaylink adapters at the office, only to realise that the feature had suddenly stopped working after the phone s/w was updated, grr. Looks like installing the apps you've listed is a nice workaround for the issue, so I'm definitely going to try it out.
I see u have PC Launcher Installed! Could you make a video on setting it up, that would be awesome? xD
Think I'll pick one up for my new ITX system. I was miffed when I found out its usb-c port didn't support display out.
Cool. MIne is on order already
To solve the black border issue, many tv's and monitors now a days have overscan/underscan. Depending on the display, you can zoom/stretch the display.
However if you change the display settings, most likely what will happen is that the quality of the image will end up pixelating a bit. So basically it's your choice to get rid of the black border, or suffer a little bit of pixelation.
But how i have a Xiaomi curver 34 monitor i cant fix black bars can you help please ?
Hello,
Really cool video, was looking for something like this for my Xiaomi phone.
Do you know if this HP 3005PR would work to connect the phone to a monitor ?
Thanks !
Im glad my lg v60 has a setting where you switch to a 16by9 TV ratio (:
DisplayLink is great technology but it is still better to just purchase a phone with video out like Moto Edge series also reviewed by ETA Prime.
To charge the phone you could and idk if it would work but you could try to split the usb connection to separate ports one for power only and one for the dock but your device may not fast charge but it would be some kind of power it shouldn't be much on Amazon for example
so this also applies to phones that have no video output?
Yes. The Google Pixel 6 ETA tested in this video doesn't have any wired video output abilities from the factory. That omission has been a complaint of Pixel fans for years. It's thought that Google doesn't include it because they want to sell more Chromecast dongles, similar to brands removing the 3.5mm audio jack so they can sell more Bluetooth headphones. I have no clue if there's any truth to that, or not.
Thanks for the video. Will the Targus DOCK120USZ do the same thing? It's also a Targus 3.0 DataLink
thanks i got a power supply for mine and got it going
Display link to USB video capture card to Chromebook. Weird but great for gaming on a low end Chromebook.
What is the max resolution and refresh rate through hdmi , can it output 1080p 60 hz?
Great content, no kidding about any android phone, I have one that does 65w of USB-C PD charging too, so I switch between my laptop and pixel, laptop doesn’t need display link but it works so whatever
I've watched several of your videos, but due to the large number and my limited English, I couldn't quite understand them. I'd like to directly inquire about something related to connecting a phone to a TV.
I want to use an emulator on my phone for PS2, Wii, NGC (I'm using Dolphin) and screen mirror it to the TV. Wireless options have too much latency. My phone, POCO F2 Pro, and Huawei Nova 7se don't support Type C to HDMI.
Among the various methods you've mentioned, which is the most suitable, considering both cost and minimal latency?
I've seen you mention adapters, decks, and cables, but I'm unsure if they work with phones that don't support Type C to HDMI.
Also, some people mention that using a non-powered adapter may lead to connection issues due to insufficient phone power, while using cables may cause overheating.
Can you provide some advice? Thank you.
How did u hook the Taurus up to the tv? What did u use?
thank you so much for doing this!
Very well done.
It's insane newer can't natively output HDMI video, while my old Xperia SP (2013) does that and I can even turn its screen off while it outputs to the TV.
You could probably bring that latency even lower by using an USB gamepad on that bulky adapter.
