My Samsung Galaxy S20 FE's display has stopped working, and I really need to access some apps on it. Is there any way to connect it to my PC or use it through a monitor?

You could also look into Samsung Dex. If you have the right adapter, it can turn your phone into a sort of desktop environment when connected to a monitor. It can be a game-changer when your phone screen is acting up!
Yep, your S20 FE does support Dex! Just connect it to a TV or monitor using a dock or adapter, and you should be good to go.
I've been using Microsoft Phone Link with my phone, and it lets me access the phone’s screen on my PC. Just remember, you'll need to give it permission each time you use it. It can be handy if your screen isn’t working!
You might be able to connect your phone to a monitor or TV using a USB-C to HDMI adapter, but you'll need to have the screen mirroring turned on from your phone first, or set the monitor to recognize the phone as the source.
Definitely use Samsung Dex if you can. It's a great feature for accessing your phone while bypassing the broken screen!
Thanks for the tip! I'll try setting that up.
