Why do people buy shit like android boxes, Apple TV and pic related instead of just connecting an old phone to the TV with a HDMI cable?
I don't have any phone with HDMI output
can't stream 4k dv videos from your phone to your tv via hdmi. Most phones don't support HDMI out via USB-C
retard
>>107581287Most old phones don't have video out, but this question is way less retarded if you change "old phone" for "old PC/laptop"
Doesn't anything with USB-C capable of HDMI out?In fact doesn't phone screen use LVDS ? Probably some gay ass proprietary connector shit but in principle you could replace phone screen with TV screen and have touch-tv with LTE modem and all the latest state sponsored surveillance tech :3 4K moshi moshi motherfucker
Weird favela hack lil bro.
>>107581287Anon ask yourself how long that cable would have to beThats why. You dont need that sort of dogshit anyway because SmartTVs come with apps.

>>107582229I see youtube. Youre fine
>>107581287what do you do for a remote?
>>107582777You can use an app on your pho-You could buy a USB IR dongle and use an old TV remote.
>>107581287I just use a lenovo m93p tiny desktop. Wireless kb with touchpad and voilà, a permanent TV setup. Running Linux and watching everything in a browser instead of an app guarantees support for years to come.
>>107583009which kb? looking for a solid one
>want HDR10+/DV so Android shitboxes are the only optionfuck me.
>>107581287that sounds fucking awful dude.Can most Android phones even support that in the first place? I don't want to have to fuck with trying to get content to display correctly, let alone use a gimped version of apps to do so.The real endgame would be using a HTPC, maybe a low profile one if you're not gonna use it for gaming.
>>107583337Logitech k400, it's feels awful to type on but it works. I used to have an cheap air mouse / kb remote thing before that but it died whithin a year.The new captcha is fucking awful btw
>>107584141This is the closest we'll get to the Wii interface for smart TVs for the considerable future.It's a shame.Nintendo accidentally invented the perfect UI for the future living room but nobody is using it for some reason.
>>107581287just plug a usb drive in with the video files
>>107581287Bad bait
>>107581287I can sideload on the fire stick for piracy apps, then switch back to normie apps. The remote is nice and simple, and the hdmi works. I also have an air mouse for mine.
>>107581894No, if you see anything with a USB-C port it can have the capabilities of anything from Thunderbolt 5 all the way down to USB 2.0, likely something inbetween. Only some phones offer Display Port over USB-C>But I want HDMIHDMI over USB-C cables just have a little adapter inside to convert the DP signal to HDMI
>>107584763close but the wiimote is so much better at positioning the cursor and registering movement. also the wii's virtual kb is vastly superior to tiny rubber buttons. big mistake killing that console, it was the goat (so much shovelware though)
>>107581894My headphones have USB-C,Pretty sure it doesn’t do HDMI out,You are a nigger
