I tried my USB to HDMI that I use with my switch and it didn't work. It comes up with a message telling you to use the casting feature.

LG didn't support this on the G6, and I had hoped they would include it here, but I guess they're all in on streaming.

But, it is not the same, if you want to play with your smartphone in the tv, you need hdmi, streaming has much lag.

Lg v30 support this feature.

Lg g7 is fantastic, but without this, it can not be comprared with galaxy s9, p20 pro, iphone x...

I'm experiencing the same issue on G7 Thinq and suspected the USB-C to HDMI cable. Is this really just not supported on the G7? They're trying to force us to use a streaming device by excluding this very basic and reliable functionality?

LG has disabled this feature by software.

As you can see in the attached screen, the smartphone detect a displayport adapter, but the tv out is disabled via software.

I have been researching into the kernel source, and I have discovered how they have disabled this feature, I have uploaded the hdmi_Kconfig file from LG v30, and Samsung Galaxy S9, both of them support HDMI out, and LG G7.
There you can see waht I have explained.

If it would have some developeres interested in this device, they could take back this feture to LG G7.

usb c to hdmi cable

When it comes to technology, I think I'm pretty up to date but I was a little behind the curve when it came to HDMI cords and cell phones. I absolutely love my Samsung S8+ and being able to watch videos that I have recorded, pictures I've taken on my television has opened me to a whole new world...... use easyacc usb c to hdmi cable watched movies from my Netflix app from my phone on the television screen. I'm stoked if you can't tell!!!

Had I known this single fact before, I swear I would have never bought LG G7. This is passed Apple's stupidity. I mean what the f LG? Wake the hell up. No more LG **** for me anymore.

So now, is there any developer who had successfully unlocked this feature?

So does this mean there is a way to enable this feature on the g7. I just updated from an iPhone and have no wifi where I play videos etc for my students. I had the adapter for the smart phone and bought one to fit the USB c but when I plug it in to the HDMI it only charges does not show the screen

Snapdragon 845 have HDMI as option- vendor have to open HDMI with paid key (same as Windows Home to Windows Pro). Qualcom understand the power of money.
So it is a SW issue-but You can't just change n to y in kernel. It's a clear case for LG. Maybe they can offer a paid solution - but I doubt it.

It seems someone with g710ulm on v10i firmware has managed to connect with a TV using this lenovo usbc to DisplayPort adapter 4X90Q93303.
Can someone with this firmware confirm this? ???
