I'm moving house next friday 26th but wont have internet till 2nd oct :eek: normally wouldn't be bothered but EVERYTHING runs via the net now!

(it was a year old post) not expecting miracles but something would be better than nothing, is it limited to 1080p? and is the audio transmitted via the hdmi? i dont think phone signal is great where im moving too so hotspot is most likely not an option. If it works on the pixel is there a particular type of adapter thats needed???

The latest Material 3 Expressive update apparently brings better support with external displays, you might need to enable desktop experience features in the developer settings of the phone for that.
