Galaxy AHi,
I need help connecting my Galaxy A53 to an external USB-C moniter.
I'm using the USB-C cable that came with the Samsung Fast charger.
The external monitor shows "NO SIGNAL" then goes into "POWER SAVE"
Do I need a special USB-C cable?
Do I need to make any configuration changes on my phone?
Thanks!
Solved! Go to Solution.

Sorry not to answer fully. Not all cables are the same. Test with alternatives but also Google different types of usb-c cables in case you have to buy. For the monitor, read the manual (probably available by Googling if you don't have it). This may show options on monitor recognition.

Hey SteveA53,
I don't think the A53 has MHL (mobile high-def link), meaning it can't be directly plugged in with a USB C cable. It might be possible to use a USB to HDMI adapter (or USB C to HDMI cable) to plug directly into the monitor.
Other possibilities is screen sharing (Smart View) if both devices are on the same network (however may only work with smart TVs).
If you have a chromecast handy, I saw a quick video which shows how to display using chromecast plugged into a TV. I believe they also work with monitors as just uses a hdmi port (https://youtu.be/waQ1518Q3Tg).
Hope this helps.
