It's an Element 43" and it works pretty well. The only thing is how to hook it up to the LG X Charge. There is a USB port on the back but when it's plugged in there it still shows "0" device(s). Should we use Bluetooth instead, and how would we do that?

why not just a chromecast? what do you plan on doing with the phone when it is hooked up? if it is just to stream stuff, then chromecast is the way to go.

You can also check to see if your tv and phone support screen mirroring. It can be called different names by different brands but it works well. I'm not familiar with your phone, but some devices also will let you output video from your USB port to HDMI but you need that special cable. Check to make sure first because not all phones have that feature.
