How to Use Samsung DeX on HDMI enable Displays?

With a wired connection, DeX can work on just about any monitor or TV with an HDMI port. But the supported resolution and aspect ratio will differ depending on the mobile device and adapter used. After connecting to a monitor or TV, open your Settings and click into the DeX menu.

Take Galaxy S22 Ultra for example.  In DeX mode uni USB C to HDMI Cable helps turn the Galaxy S22 into an Android desktop computer when adding a bluetooth mouse and keyboard, so you have the flexibility to work with just about any monitor setup (works along with S pen or Keyboard, even with mouse.)

Specific Steps

1. If you’re using the direct cable, plug it into your monitor’s HDMI port. If you’re using a multiport adapter, you can just connect a standard HDMI cable from your monitor into the adapter.

2. Connect your device to the adapter by way of its USB-C port. You will see the Samsung DeX logo appear on your monitor when it boots up. After you connect the phone, you need to enable the DeX Pad application (open the Notifications panel by swiping down from the top of the screen and select the DeX icon in the “Quick settings” menu. Then tap "DeX on TV or Monitor")

3. If you’re using the DeX cable, you’ll be pairing a Bluetooth keyboard and mouse. On your device, turn on Bluetooth and scan for peripherals. If you’re using the multiport adapter, you have the option of connecting via USB 3.0. You can also choose to use your device as a touchpad instead of connecting a mouse. Such as S Pen / S Pen Pro.

4. If you’re using the multiport adapter, you can also connect your device’s charging cable to the adapter’s USB-C port. If you’re using the DeX cable, you can keep your device charged by placing it on a wireless charger while you’re using DeX.

⚠️ Please note: The product names of models may vary depending on the country. Products that are not genuine Samsung DeX-supported products may not be compatible depending on their characteristics.
