Amazon Basics USB 3.1 Type-C to HDMI Adapter Cable - White

I have 3 Chrome devices - 2 Chromebooks and a Chromebox (a desktop). I bought 2 of these adapters over a year ago. One of them is used daily. The other goes with the Chromebook I take different places with me. I have never had an issue with either of these. And, one of them gets used on many different televisions.I have not had any of the problems some have listed in their lower reviews. The price has gone up a few dollars since I bought both of mine over a year ago. But, I would definitely recommend this model. My son needs one soon, and I told him he should buy the same one.They produce a fantastic image, and I've never had a problem with the tv recognizing the video.

I use these daily on my Mac to connect displays where docks didn't have enough ports to do the job.One thing to know is these are not just regular USB - C , they use DisplayPort Alt mode meaning they won't work on every USB-C connector, the host port has to also support that mode. Having said this they work perfectly on my Ubuntu machine, as well as Windows when using a port that supports the correct output mode. Otherwise you will just see a Cypress Billboard Device in the USB manager and nothing will output from the HDMI.Hope this helps someone.

I was using an inexpensive dock to connect my Mac Book Pro with four USB-C ports to my HDMI monitor. One day the dock failed completely. Too late to return it and it isn't even for sale anymore. So I ordered this AmazonBasics dongle, received it two days later, and I am back to using my large monitor. As with all AmazonBasics products, it seems, it is well made, properly engineered, and just works. I love buying things from Amazon with Amazon's name on it. Plug and play perfection. I have talked to engineers who have shown me that HDMI is not always the same. I can't tell you if this will work in every situation, but it worked perfectly for me.

This is exactly the quality I was expecting from Amazon. I bought this for my college dorm TV, and it provides great picture quality for what I need it for. The only thing that worries me is that it does heat up quite a bit when it is being used. For example, when watching Interstellar streamed from my laptop through this the little white box part did get very warm to the touch, granted that is a crazy long movie, but it is something to keep in mind if you'll be doing heavy watching.

The consistency of the product was not great. It would not pick up the tv/monitor majority of the time.

I have a work laptop that has a VGA and HDMI port. I want high dev resolutions, so I avoid using the VGA. The HP laptop from 2017, had two USB C ports. I was able to use this cable which allowed me to add 3 monitors to the laptop (the LCD, the HDMI port, and this USB C to HDMI). It was perfect. I didn't have any issues, picture was great, and no quality issues. Would buy these again.

Unknown durability but feels durable. Picture quality is what you'd expect for the computer monitor that I'm using it with. Can't confirm whether or not audio works thru it since I have no reason to plug my computer into a TV/home theater. I just have one question Apple, and every other TV/monitor manufacturer. If USB-C produces the same picture quality as HDMI, why are we still wasting the extra materials needed to make HDMI? I use this with a MacBook Pro and no complaints.

TL;DR: M1 Mac mini. May KP on wake-from-sleep. Does not happen on Intel-based Macs. Apple-branded dongle works fine on both. Your mileage may vary.--We have oodles of Macs in my house, all the way from PPC to M1 (Apple Silicon). I am currently typing this on my beloved M1 Mac mini. For reference, I have the Apple-branded Multiport USB C to HDMI adapter, a BBY "Insignia" multipart clone (USB C to HDMI + USB 3.0), and the practical Amazon-branded one I am writing this review.When I bought the mini, I used the Apple-branded Multiport USB C to HDMI adapter (also sold on Amazon); it's not cheap but works the very best of any dongle. No problems, two (2) screens, wake from sleep without a hiccup, etc. In short, no issues.The M1 really doesn't like the Amazon-branded model. If you are simply plugging it in for a few minutes, it should work fine; however, if you plan to sleep your Mac or let it sleep on its own, that's where the fun begins. The "wake" function either appears to be non-functional or has issues with wake commands because theOn Windows-based machines, it will come up as a "billboard device" but works OK. On the Intel-based MacBook Pro, it works but takes a bit longer to wake the screen. Sometimes, I have noticed that the display isn't always clear on the Amazon dongle, regardless of which machine I am using.I decided to try the Amazon dongle because I needed my Apple-branded one for another project. Unfortunately, I noticed within a day or two the kernel panics on wake-from-sleep. I disconnected the dongle, no issues for days. I switched back to the Apple-branded dongle, and the machine worked fine.On my Intel MacBook Pro, it works probably 95% the same as the Apple-branded dongle; the exceptions would be "wake" (it takes several seconds vs. almost immediate with Apple dongle) and image clarity. The Amazon dongle wills sometimes go "out of focus" on my Acer screen, very slightly but noticeably. In fairness, I've seen this with the BBY dongle on another monitor but never/not yet with the Apple-branded model.In short, I think you get what you pay for, and it's better to go with the Apple model if you want a trouble-free experience, especially on an M1 model.
