Hookup

Can you connect a smartphone or bootleg handheld game device USB-C to HDMI on a monito? I got a few different adapters and none of them worked with my Vizio monitor. The latter 2 I got were TV adapters. The handheld game device has a port that says DTG and it's not for charging. What do you guys think? I mainly wanted to play the games 🎮 on the monitor.
