Digging a bit through the service menu, I noticed H440N has settings for Slimport HDMI.

Did anyone test it out? There's a high chance this works, since it does not draw power, Qualcomm chipsets support it and LG has it on most of their phones. So, does anyone have a cable to test?

I don't know if anybody else does it that way but I actually use my LG V20 like a computer. I did the same with my LG G4 using SlimPort.
The V20 needed USB-C so I got that.
However, I have a pet peeve.. both of them would initially show 2K resolution (2560x1440) on my monitor. Then it would downscale to 640x480 and everything got fuzzy on the screen.
I would have to take it to the Samsung television (1080p) and it would "reset" then I'd go back to my 2K monitor and hook it up and it'd show beautifully until I turn it off then it goes back to 640x480.
Anybody having that problem?

What cable/adapter are you using? Have only found 1 that actually states it works with V20

The adapter is XtremPro.. I also have a Mokin.. both are the same in terms of performance. All the cables are the good ones but phone doesn't seem to charge with any of the cables I have including the factory, but I still have to have cable otherwise it won't run.
I've got this working on my V20 currently with this adapter
Select Series USB-C HDMI® Multiport Adapter from Monoprice (can't submit a link yet)
Everything looks huge and ugly, but it works with a mouse and keyboard. Just wish there was a way to keep it forced in landscape mode.

I think all you really need is a USB-C to HDMI adapter. I don't think slimport would work since its based on a micro USB connector.

Does the v20 charge when hdmi is attached? I do not need fast charge , I just it to charge
It charges, but doesn't fast charge
I have a Fiio E17K and I cannot get the device to work via USB OTG. I tried two different cables to no avail. When plugged, it lists the generic USB options, i.e. Power Supply. I confirmed the DAC works on my old LG G3.
Has anyone gotten a portable DAC to work on their phone through USB OTG?
Just select Midi device when prompted then you're good to go.
I'm using Soundblaster E3.
When I select Midi device, it immediately switches back to Power Supply. I tried 3 different cables from different brands to no avail. I can confirm the amp/dac works on the LG G4 with no issues.
I have the Canadian LG G6 and can confirm USB OTG works in general, when I used an adaptor to use a mouse.
Has anyone figured out a solution? I need to select MIDI for Fiio Q1 to be recognized and then it switches back to Power Supply.

I managed to get my hand on another USB-C phone (Asus ZenFone3) to rule out a cable issue. DAC worked with no issues, so it is definitely a G6 issue. I'm hoping this gets patched or fixed in a future custom rom.
My Zuperdac works fine.
Hei.. just in case you are still checking around. It may take awhile for the LG G6 to register the dac. Therefore, once you plug in. let the song play. and probably wait for up to 30sec or so. O and another thing. You may want to try and select File Transfer. It worked for me also. They did mention for older device.. you can select MTP instead.

Yes i use lg g5 hifi plus dac/amp modul working well!
Two years later my LG G6 does exactly this...plug in my ifi DSD black label and it pops up to change connection type but it FORCES power supply no matter what you pic. And it drains the hell out of the battery. ANYONE figure this out. I see numerous post on this across LG v30 and the like do it too.
I used a Fiio Q1 (amp & DAC) with my G6. This DAC has a charge/no charge button, setting this to off prevents draining the G6's battery. This week I upgraded to a Fiio Q1 MkII, and this newer model doesn't have the charge/no charge button, and it drains my G6's battery very quickly charging its own battery. I modded a micro USB cable after insctructions online (I can't post links to external sites, but search for "Things that you want to know about FiiO Flagship DAC & Amp Q5", scroll to the bottom of the article), I opened the micro USB connector and soldered pin 4 and 5 together. I use this cable and a regular USB-C OTG adaper, and the DAC no longer drains the G6 battery. The "Power supply" mode still appears active on the G6, but no charge is transfered to the Q1 MkII, verified because its charge LED remains off and because the G6's battery discharges at the usual rate. I don't need to change the USB mode to anything else, just leave it on "Power supply". I then spliced the OTG adapter directly to a micro USB cable, shorting pins 4&5 on the micro USB side, this way I have a short, custom cable to connect G6 & Q1 MkII.
Then I found that Fiio offers a USB-C OTG to micro USB cable for their DACs, and according to them it's built with charge disabled. I purchased one from Amazon (can't post link, search for "Fiio CL06 Type C to Micro USB OTG Cable for Fiio Q1 Mark II Q5 M7 etc"), but I'm still waiting for delivery.
Hope this helps
thanks
I purchased a usb type c to hdmi adapter and when I plugged in it said g6 does not support slimport and to use miscast instead, but my question is IS slimport hardware or software based function, thank you.
I' really like to know this, the lg site says the phone supports MHL. How is a MHL cable different to a usb type c to hdmi?
MHL, Slimport, HDMI and Miracast are all different technologies.
You're honestly better off getting a Chromecast. If you absolutely need to mirror, then miracast.
The USB ports on devices these days are non standard, and there is a lot of confusion about what is supported and what isn't.
As a rule of thumb, mobile devices only support faster transfer and power delivery, but not the additional hardware for multi screen support or others
Well I bought a oculus rift a week ago and trying to use it as a fpv with my drone and the rift has hdmi input so is the reason I brought this cable but g6 does not support it and even my rift doesn't appear to power on unless connected to pc and oculus app running to provided video coded for it, but is slimport a hardware or software based function.
Hello guys!! Just want to know if LG G6 can be connected to smart tv using HDMI cable. I searched it on google and it says that slimport was not supported by G6. I have a plan in buying a hdmi cable but i am not sure if it works.
Nope it won't work I tried it in the past.
Hello, as LG re-enabled HDMI over USB-C on LG G7, V35 and V40 with December 2018 update, can someone try again a USB-C to HDMI adapter also with LG G6 with latest update please ?
Hey booldega, i am planning to buy a V40 and need that HDMI out option. I found different statements, if it supports HDMI out over USB C or not. Where did you find the information, that it works now?
Could anyone, please, let me know if there is a way to use the USB type-C connector to cast video to a HDMI input? I have a Moto G6 Plus connected to a EKSA ET9-H HUB which has HDMI and VGA outputs, but none of them delivers video signal to my TV.
Thanks in advanced.

You would need to have USB 3.1 Gen 2 phone to support such an output/input, whereas Moto G6 Plus has USB 2.0 only over USB-C connector to offer. Better duplicate your screen via chromecast-like device. If you need input you would need some kind of supported video-grabber over USB OTG I suppose.
Thanks. A very clear answer.
