I bought a USB C to HDMI cable for my RC2, but it is only giving me a much lower resolution output and it won't go fullscreen on the tv and monitor I tested it with.
I tried the same cable with my phone USB C port and the HDMI video works great.

Any tips here?

I'm really blown away that the RC2 can't just stream the video wirelessly to my phone or tablet screen.  It's so bizarre that I can setup the RC2 to livestream to Youtube (via my phone hotspot), but I can't simply view the live video on my phone.  This seems like such an obvious feature to have in the DJI Fly app.

Hello, there. Thank you for the feedback and sorry for the inconvenience. Please know that the DJI RC 2 does not have HDMI input, nor has it been officially advertised to support HDMI output. The output feature has not undergone a compatibility test, using the RC 2 for HDMI output may result in unstable transmission or stuttering. We've taken your feedback seriously. Thank you for your understanding.

Why not just use Youtube Live stream to watch on another device?

So if I'm in the field, I run a high bandwidth upload to Youtube, then run a high bandwidth download from Youtube to get it back on the screen that is 4ft from my RC2?  
I don't have unlimited cell data and even if I did, I could easily be in locations where I don't have a good enough tower connection.

Alternatively you could spend thousands and buy a drone and a controller with those features.

The point is, the existing hardware is fully capable of doing this.  I just can't believe DJI hasn't implemented it as a feature.  Seems like a huge loss in possible functionality.

Just like many products,   my car is capable of going much faster than it can because the manufacturer added an artificial limit to its top speed.

Yes, anyone "could" have, however a clean feed to YouTube means it's available in the device, just not in a local USB output as an option...

Imagine how simple it could be in settings: Video Output: 1. Camera Feed Only 2. Full controller screen - One Checkbox. Many happy users! (me included)

AND one less belligerent & unhelpful forum poster with nothing positive to add to the conversation.

Hi there. Thank you for reaching out. Other users have commented that it can be achieved with USB-C to HDMI/DP adapters. However, we have not tested relevant accessories therefore we cannot guarantee the stability. You may test it to see the result. Please note that DJI RC 2 does not support HDMI pure camera image output (Liveview Only). (Namely, OSD information is hidden when using the HDMI output). Hope this helps.

Hi there! Wireless live video on phone or even better tablet e.g. via the DJI Fly app would be very welcome for me too!

Consistency is important! First connect the cable to RC 2 only then turn on the remote control

Thank you. I did try all scenarios.
Plugging in two monitor then r c turn on Monitor then RC also in reverse with different cables. Different adapters. I just ordered some adapters.
With a true display port, maybe that'll work.  Thank you please let me know

on a side note: a simple USB-C to HDMI OUT works on my RC-2 but! -> Resolution is lower than 1080/FullHD! So with a worse resolution than the RC-2 (Screen Resolution 1920×1080) it's kind of useless. (tried from a PC monitor and a 4K TV: identical)
