From the brand


Product Description

Extend your display, USBC to HDMI, HDMI Display, HDMI Adapter, USB-C Adapter, Portable

The Plugable USBC-HDMI adapter enables an HDMI 2.0 output at resolutions up to 3840×2160@60Hz (4K/UHD) from systems that support “DisplayPort Alternate Mode” (Alt Mode) via USB-C.

USBC-HDMI Adapter

Uncompromising Performance

Alt Mode adapters allow you to add an additional display output easily and inexpensively on supported systems. Since DisplayPort Alternate Mode is a direct pipeline to the host graphics processor (GPU) in your system, the connected display will function with the same uncompromising performance of a natively attached display.

Video and photo editing, gaming, and other resource-intensive tasks are possible assuming that the system's GPU capabilities are sufficient for the application being used.

Compatibility

Compatibile Systems

Plug and Play installation on any Windows, Mac, or Linux host which supports DisplayPort Alternate Mode (Alt Mode) video output functionality.

Adapter has been fully tested for functionality on the 2018 iPad Pro (mirroring only), 2018 MacBook Air, 2017 iMac/iMac Pro, 2017 & 2018 MacBook/MacBook Pro, MacBook Retina 12" 2016 / 2017, Google Pixelbook, Chromebook Pixel 2015, Dell XPS 13 9360 / 9370 & XPS 15 9560 / 9570, Lenovo P50, and Samsung Galaxy S8 / S8+.

Audio is supported on HDMI capable TVs and monitors with built-in speakers.

Please note: the 2016 and previous 12" Retina MacBook does not support 4K@60Hz output, it has a maximum output of 4K@30Hz. Supported resolutions and refresh rates of the adapter are entirely dependent on the host device and attached display specifications.

Incompatible Systems

Not compatible with Dell XPS 15 9570

Most current phones and tablets with USB-C ports do not support Alt Mode video output.

ASMedia USB 3.1 controllers do not support Alt Mode video output.

Most motherboards with dual USB-C/Thunderbolt 3 ports are limited to a single Alt Mode output; only one Alt Mode adapter supported per system.

​For additional compatibility information, please visit our website.

HDMI 2.0, 4K TVs, and HDMI Cable Quality

When utilizing HDMI 2.0's highest resolution and refresh rate (3840x2160@60Hz), twice the data is being transmitted as the maximum allowed by the previous HDMI 1.4 specification. As a result, it is critical that an HDMI 2.0-compliant cable capable of providing the increased bandwidth be used for 4K@60 functionality. HDMI 1.4/1.3 cables will likely result in a blank screen, digitial noise/artifacting, or display drop-offs.

If using an HDMI 2.0 4K TV, it is strongly recommended to update the firmware/software of the TV for the best compatibility, performance, and stability.

random thoughts (NEW: UPDATE)
UPDATE: See the pic. Now I did drop the adapter which explains the broken casing, but the usb-c plug coming undone is surprising to me. Unfortunately, I'm out of the warranty period.Second update - The adapter did not consistently work with the 2018 iPad Pro, as it could output sound to some TVs but not to others. I would love the tech details on supported audio codecs here to better explain this. *another competing adapter worked with the older model TV.*Original post below:-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------First and foremost, I've been able to test with just an HD (1080p) output. I lack access to a 4k display to test that out, so I'll amend the review when I can play with the adapter on a 4k screen. On the 1080p screens the text wasn't sharp but I don't think you can fault the device for that. Audio was passed through just fine, but my Mac said 44.1 kHz and 48 kHz over 2 channels - this was not a stress test of the adapter's capabilitiesThe device was lukewarm to touch during operation.That being said: If I had do just a touch more research I might have found an adapter that supports HDMI 2.0a, which is the HDR10 (and drive a little more value from the small device). DisplayPort 1.2 documentation about HDR10 is nebulous, so its hard to fault the seller for this limitation (although... the LG ultra fine monitors support dci-p3 color with Multistream transport DP 1.2 - It's gotta be possible to have the better color space).
