I've seen posts for other Moto G phones that says it doesn't support HDMI over USB-C, but can someone confirm?
If the answer is no, I'm really curious why not? This seems like a no-brainer option to support, like you'd almost have to go. out of your way NOT to support it

Hi diggitydug ,
Welcome to Motorola forums and thank you for taking to post, sorry to say that it's not supported as the phone was not designed to support this functionality. However, you can use our Ready For via a wired connection. Hope it helps.

Sandip

Is Ready For supported for G pro? I have downloaded it to PC - scanning the QR code doesn't give a URL as I expect, just a long text string which looks like a device description. I can't find Ready For in the Play Store. Help!
You can find Ready for in in the Motorola customer help desk. If your device is registered in My stuff it will be under the tabs. Ready for and my UX are Under

You can use this link. Also in your apps is Device Help. You can always find information on your device there as well. Hope this helps.

So you shouldn't really have recommended Ready For in a G stylus/G pro forum then.

Hello CrazeeCharlee,
You are correct. I'm sorry that you were given incorrect information, we try to make sure that we are always giving the correct response. In this case, we made an error and didn't look closely at the model.
Thank you for your understanding.

I put a lot of time into this, and turns out you can do HDMI out over USB-C for all the Moto G phones! Long story short, you'll need a DisplayLink to HDMI adapater. Here's what you'll need:
- Adapter or dock with a DisplayLink chip: You can find these on ebay for $20 for an older used one, on up to a hundreded of dollars for a full-fledge docking station (which surprisingly also works!)
- DisplayLink Android App (driver): DisplayLink Presenter
I tested the following configurations and they all worked flawlessly with virtually no screen lag:
- Displaylink USB 3.0 to HDMI (worked for both audio & video)
- Full Startech USB-C Dock with HDMI video, audio, mouse & keyboard
- USB 3.0 Hub with USB 3.0 Displaylink Monitor, mouse & keyboard, and hard-wired ethernet adapter
I was shocked that it all worked rather seamlessly with the DisplayLink Presenter driver. I used this config to watch movies on a TV in my hotel while traveling as well as "docking" to do work entirely on my android device with a DisplayLink portable monitor (this was more for fun, I don't necessarily need to do this.).
If you plan to do the "docking" scenario like Motorola advertises with "Ready Now" and use productivity apps with a mouse & keyboard, you'll want to look into an app like "Second Screen" to properly set the phone's DPI for a desktop experience.
Hopefully this helps someone else out. I spent a lot of time on this, mainly because it was fun trying to get it to work :)
This is amazing, I'm going to try this out. My old phone has MHL and I was super disappointed this one didn't because I'm currently living on a research plot that doesn't have access to wifi and wanted to use my phone's data and my USBC to HDMI for my projector to watch shows with my roommate since we don't have wifi or a hot spot. I'm definitely looking into finding this brand because as long as it works without wifi it'll work for me! I was considering chrome casting to my laptop and then connecting my laptop to the projector but then I'd need wifi for the computer to chrome cast properly. Ugh. What a dilemma. Weird they didn't put MHL for the moto gs, seems like a no brainer
