I'm thinking of getting a HDMI-out cable for the Nexus 4, which I believe is called a Slimport adaptor.? I've looked online and only found one on Amazon which was quite pricey. There were a few others called 'Micro USB MHL to HDMI' which at first glance appear to be the same - one Micro USB side, one HDMI side. Are these the same thing, and should they work?
I'm in the UK, so if anyone spots anything suitable please let me know.
Have a search. Theres about 4 threads looking at slimport, mhl, or comparing the two.
Thanks. I found one topic but it was inconclusive.

Wireless display from my Nexus 4 to my 80" TV thru PTV3000.
Found this for $60 on B&H. http://www.bhphotovideo.com/bnh/controller/home?O=&sku=898441&is=REG&A=details&Q=
What do you guys think, is it worth it or am I better off w/the regular Slimport adapter?
It depends on what your trying to display on your tv.

Mirroring photos no problem....as long as the movie is on the sd card of your phone you should be fine....I run in to issues when I try to stream video and mirror it to the tv

I'd go for the slimport, unless you HAVE to have it wireless. Depending on your router and range, there could be major video lag during playback with miracast.
Also, slimport is cheaper. Amazon retails the OEM adaptor for $30 with shipping included and I've seen it as cheap as $20 on eBay.

Honestly, it's not worth it. I bought one from Best Buy for the same price and I regret not returning it.
It's cool and all, but it's nothing but a novelty.

Just afraid that I won't get proof and truly working device..)
So for now I can look for a bargain on handtec.co.uk...
Any other suggestions?..
Swappa is perfectly fine. The Swappa staff highly regulates sales and the sales are done through paypal so you have the paypal protection. Also you can buy brand new devices on Swappa.
My source for all of the above: I have bought and sold devices on Swappa, just sold my S3 yesterday in fact

Keep in mind that those increase the thickness which may cause an issue with water resistance because of the bulge it causes. Even if it is minimal

I admit I didnt search for too long..
But does the V10 support Video Out? Either with an mHL Adaptor or HDMI or any other means? My previous device used mHL and it worked great.
Any info would be great.
TIA

Good question. I'll test with my mhl adapter and post back.

It did not work with my mhl adapter. Mine is the Samsung one so that might be why, but I'm not sure.

Did a quick search, and it supports up to 4k out via a slimport adapter.

Don't think there's more than one type as I think it's a standard. At least they're on the inexpensive side. [emoji1]

I've also been searching for this answer. MHL doesn't work. Slimportconnect just added the V10 to the list, so it should work. However there are many different brands, most with spotty reviews. Would love to hear from someone who has had success with the V10 specifically and with what brand.

This is the one I got to hook up to my cars radio (I can watch netflix on the big screen now, haha!) - http://www.amazon.com/Analogix-Semi...zon+Fire,+Blackberry+Passport,+Nexus+5,+LG+G3
It works with no issues so far....
I've used right now my SlimPort that worked with my historical LG G2.
worked fine, charging my phone, audio and video through HDMI.
Awesome, thanks info. I find screen mirroring with the chromecast works awesome, but not for games.

I just bought this SlimPort adapter from Analogix. It's a new model, comes with a remote and explicitly supports 4K. It's called the Nano.Console. http://www.nanoconsole.com It's just coming off of an Indiegogo campaign (still sold through Indiegogo for now). Looks very promising. Compatible with the LG V10. I'm waiting to receive the unit (ordered yesterday).

Will do. Shipping is a bit slow. It's shipping from California and I'm in Arizona. Their customer service says they ship within 2 weeks. It should ship some time this week, since I bought it on the 19th.
Unsure whether anyone wants another report on this, but I'm able to confirm success with this. Officially the standard is "MyDP", but they're better known as "Slimport". Thankfully the adapters aren't too expensive, such as this one for $15: Unitek (NewEgg)
It works fine without power (micro-USB) plugged in. With power plugged in it can in fact charge mine. Problem is you really need a USB cable with thick wires, otherwise there is barely enough power to keep the V10 at its existing power level. Either way I can confirm video out is useable on an LG V10.
Apparently if you've got a device with USB-C you can use video out and at the same time have a computer talking to your phone via `adb`. Sigh, one more extra feature people who could wait a year got.
Hmm, I've noticed more recently the device has been acting a bit flaky. Not a super big deal, but enough to be an annoyance. Might be it doesn't like being powered on so long or could be it is only good enough to last 3-6 months.
