HDMI to USB C Adapter Cable 6.6ft 4K@60Hz with USB Power Adapter,HDMI Male to Type C Male Converter Support Touch for New MacBook Pro,Mac Air,Nreal Air VR

Did you know that pretty much all HDMI to HDMI cables are bidirectional (ie; doesn't matter which side you plug into the source vs. destination), but nearly all HDMI->USB-C cables are unidirectional (ie; one end is for the source of the video, while the other is for the destination/display)? It turns out that USB-C to HDMI cables are common, but HDMI to USB-C is not. That is because most monitors have HDMI as an input, not USB-C, so the cables are meant to have the USB-C end plugged in the PC (source) and the HDMI end plugged into the monitor (Destination/Display). Portable monitors, on the other hand, often just have USB-C ports for power and input, and no HDMI ports. In my case, my laptop only has one USB-C thunderbolt port, which I need for a hub to plug all of my other peripheral devices in (thumb drive, ring light, webcam, external speaker, etc.). Therefore, I could only use the HDMI port on either my hub or my laptop to attach my portable monitor. This requires either a bidirectional HDMI<->UCB-C cable, or a unidirectional "HDMI to USB-C", which is the opposite of most cables on the marketplace. This is the FIRST cable that actually WORKS with my portable monitor ((HDMI to USB-C). I admittedly initially purchased a few USB-C to HDMI cables, as I did not know about the unidirectional issue with these cables. Those initial cables obviously did not work, but not due to any fault in the cable itself, as they were meant to work in the opposite direction that I needed. However, since then I purchased SIX (6) other cables that were clearly listed as "HDMI to USB-C", and this one is the ONLY one of those 6 that worked! I tested this cable with a direct connection to my laptop, as well as through the HDMI port on my USB-C hub. Surprisingly both work just fine (many HDMI to USB-C cables have a disclaimer that they won't work through a hub). However, I must say that my USB hub gets REALLY hot when going through that way, so I wouldn't recommend using it through a hub unless the hub is designed to handle it. In my case, I plan to use it plugged directly into my HDMI port, so that won't be an issue.

---UPDATE--- After leaving this review, the company reached out to me to offer a free replacement. They sent me a new cable which has worked much better now and still works perfectly after several months, therefore i have changed my review from 2 stars to 5 stars since the company were so helpful with a replacement cable which faces none of the original issues ---Original review--- I barely used the cable because of some big changes going on in my life, right after it arrived, but even still it stopped working after just a month, in the middle of use. When unplugging it, it was really hot on both HDMI end and USB-A end. Worked well until then with my Nreal Air and Nintendo Switch but i only got maybe 2 hours total use out of it.

Cord plenty long enough. Works well with my ROKU and the monitor on the YeSoul recumbent bike. Provides streaming services while exercising. Monitor only has a USB-C video input. Exercise stats still display in the corner of the screen.

These cables wouldn't power my generic portable monitors purchased here on Amazon. I bought two cables for two monitors; one HDMI and one Displayport. The Displayport cable worked intermittently but wouldn't keep the monitor powered consistently. The cable with the HDMI output wouldn't even power the second monitor at all. If you're buying these to run portable monitors as some here have done, they appear to work with some monitors, but not the EVICIV 17.3" 2K monitors sold here on Amazon.

UPDATE: The cable performed well on my travels and was able to play PS5 games for many hours. Just don’t touch the cable as it DOES GET HOT! I’m changing my review from 3 Stars to 4 as I’m somewhat satisfied with my purchase. OLD REVIEW: I like the cable as it works with my PS5 and ASUS USB monitor. I will be using it for travel but I don't know how long it will last. I tested the cable by playing a few games on my PS5 and when I was done, I disconnected the cable's HDMI end and felt that it was REALLY HOT. I don't know how long this cable will last me with that amount of heat.

It's working as intended. I'm using it to connect my media box to my XREAL 1s glasses. While the audio wasn't working through the glasses, I plan to use headphones with it anyway.

Use it to connect Xreal AR glasses to PC. Works well! The length is enought when I sit at the desk, and PC tower is below the table. If they had a little longer option (like 10 ft) I would have chosen it. Now it's not important anymore, I replaced PC so the cable is enough for lying on a bed too.

Wasn't what I needed. Needed something that would power my Roku. My TV doesn't have USB ports.only HDMI ports. The Roku has to plugged into the wall, so it doesn't shut off when the TV shuts off. Not returning because maybe able to use somewhere else

Works with Apple Studio Display connected to RTX 4000 Mobile Ada via HDMI.

Use it for connecting to steam deck to my Viture Ar glasses as a external display. Works perfect now giving you ability to play your steam deck games in Ar/xr mode. Has transformed how I game for good. Highly recommend. The extra USB cable helps transfer power from a docked steam deck to the xr glasses to uninterrupted gaming experiences. 5 out of 5.

Ho comprato questo cavo per poter collegare i notebook portatili ai monitor USB-C, ovviamente essendo HDMI non supporta il MST, cioè la funzionalità di poter usare più monitor con un unico cavo, ma già questo è rivoluzionario, posso connettere tutti i vari computer che ho in giro al monitor senza dover aver problemi a cercare di infilare il cavo nella porta giusta, e grazie all'USB posso utilizzare anche il mouse, la tastiera, la webcam e le casse connesse allo switch del monitor. Unica pecca è che supporta solamente USB 2.0 e non supporta la modalità ALT half DP + half USB 3.1 che garantisce 5 Gbps e 2 1440p con DP 1.4 oppure 1 1440p con DP 1.2
