Displaying phone screen on laptop monitor

Hi,
I have:
- Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra
- Asus computer monitor (Asus BE27AQLB 27" WQHD IPS HDMI Monitor, Refresh Rate (Max) : 60Hz)

If I plug a type C to HD TV cable, link this from my phone to monitor will it work? I want to use it for Zwift, in my garage wi-fi signal is bad so using mobile data on my phone would work.
Another option would be a wi-fi signal booster but this option would be much cheaper I think & means I don't need my laptop.

Also-
- will it dispaly smoothly on the monitor?
- why do items mention specific make & model phones? In above link it mentions Samsung Galaxy 8, I'd presume it works for any phone with USB c.

Thanks,
Patrick.

Hi,

I plug my phone into a dell USB docking station and it comes up in Mobile desktop. I can use my mouse and keyboard etc to control the phone apps. its pretty cool tbh.

this on adverts works:
https://www.adverts.ie/laptop-parts-and-accessories/dell-da300-mini-usb-c-docking-station/21326458
and there are other 3rd party ones on amazon for similar pricing.

I use a bigger dell one but its the one I use with my work laptop similar to this : https://www.amazon.com/Dell-Docking-Station-Delivery-DisplayPort/dp/B07S3XHMP1/ref=sr_1_24?dchild=1&keywords=usb+c+docking+station&qid=1610707140&sr=8-24

Ive not tried as you describe so don't know, though probably yea but you lose the ability to add a mouse and keyboard.

Thanks for the reply. I noticed my phone has Samsung DeX so I just install that on laptop, then can plug in usb c directly in & mirror.

I’m not really sure where this goes but I’m pretty sure it has nothing to do with Cable Television. Moved to Laptops - mods there feel free to move on to another appropriate forum if not within scope
