Anker USB C to HDMI Adapter (4K@60Hz), USB Type C to HDMI Cable Adapter | 4K HDMI for MacBook Pro, MacBook Air, iPad Pro, Pixelbook, XPS, Galaxy, and More(Compatible with Thunderbolt 3 Ports)

I purchased this adapter so I could easily connect my MacBook to classroom projectors for presentations in my graduate program. Since the classrooms at my university only have HDMI connections, this has been an absolute necessity because all of my presentations are stored on my MacBook. It’s truly plug-and-play, has worked flawlessly every time I’ve used it, and gives me one less thing to worry about before presenting. The connection is reliable, and I’ve never had any issues with it recognizing the display. If you’re a MacBook user who frequently gives presentations or needs to connect to an HDMI display, I highly recommend this adapter. It’s been well worth the purchase, and I would definitely buy it again.

I needed a short USB-C to HDMI adapter to move my wireless HDMI transmitter away from the hub so there was enough room for everything to plug in properly. This fit the bill perfectly. It gave me the extra clearance I needed and made the finished setup much cleaner than having the transmitter hanging directly off the hub. So far the video connection has been solid and it has worked exactly as expected. Since this is part of my DJ cart and gets moved around, I liked it enough that I ordered a second one to keep in my spare-parts kit just in case. Simple, clean solution that did exactly what I needed. So far, so good.

This worked great for my application. I needed to get HDMI from the iPad to a TV and this was an easy simple solution to a TV that did not support any type of wireless connection between the iPad and the TV. This easily bridge the gap allowed the iPad to be plugged in directly and the picture quality was excellent.

Worked as expected with no questions

This works pretty good for playing downloaded content from places like Disney+ off an iPad Air 4th gen onto an hdr tv (UHD). Note that ATMOS output doesn't work, and from iTunes even on surround content you'll only get stereo sound...but that in some apps (like HBO MAX) you can get discrete 5.1 PCM output. But let's back up. Why would you want to download content? Well, if your internet connection is not reliable (google "digital divide" or similar concepts; it impacts tens of millions of people in the USA, and hundreds of millions more around the world) downloading versus streaming is critical. This isn't just a "poor people" problem. Plenty of affluent rural communities are underserved, in addition to other demographics. And, of course, if you are traveling and want to watch content on the hotel's TV, or your friend's TV or the TV at the airbnb, this is useful. So, what does this dongle do and what are the limitations? This device enables the iPad settings screen (to adjust video output) with both my LG OLED (2017 model) and my second display (Sony UHD) connected to the other end of it. This settings screen is another section of the settings menus on the iPad itself that shows up ONLY when a compatible dongle is connected to the iPad and that dongle is connected to a compatible display. That settings screen means: I could force everything to be Dolby Vision, or HDR10, or SDR and I could also do the iOS equivalent of TVOS’ features called "match dynamic range" and "match frame rate". BUT Note that the iPad makes you choose BOTH frame rate AND dynamic range for matching. You cannot choose just one like on an Apple TV. Why does that limitation matter? Well, 24p output is super nice with film based content. It gives one more fidelity and fewer artifacts for film based content. And, perhaps even more important, with the iPad Air 4th gen, and possibly some other bandwidth limited devices, 4k output is capped at 30fps.....so this is the only way to get 4k. In other words, this feature is particularly useful because this dongle on the iPad air CANNOT output 4k 60p (60hz). That sound like a big issue at first, but then remember that moves are 4k 24p (24hz)! So as long as the TV accepts that kind of content, you can choose to "match output" and be okay......mostly. What's the problem? Well, the way the dongle and or the ipad handle HDR output is the problem. Read below to understand more, but in short it would be REALLY HELPFUL to be able to "match frame rate" and NOT also have to "match dynamic range". TVOS lets you choose one or both. Unfortunately, ipad OS (iOS) does not allow for that separation. So, in my testing, I could output 4k hdr at 24p to both displays. 60hz output was limited to 1080p but hdr would still work with the content I tried. So if you really want HDR (which is a little wonky, see below) and can use 24p ouput for whatever reason, that's something of an option. HOWEVER: The Dolby Vision output is wonky or somehow otherwise non standard. The OLED didn’t recognize it as hdr 2020. It tried to use sdr gamma, and the colors were completely wrong, such as black was displayed as red. Solution? Forcing DV content to be output as hdr10 solved it......sort of. The problem (you have already guess this?) is that to force DV content to output at HDR10 content, you have to TURN OFF the "match content" setting......and that means that you are turning off the 24p frame rate......and now the ipad and dongle are outputting 60p.......and that means you cannot output 4k any longer, just 1080p! So, you can get HDR10 output onto a 2017 LG OLED but only at 60hz, and 1080p. HOWEVER: Another DV capable display (SONY) didn’t mind the DV content but perhaps not all profiles of DV work on the iPad output because it automatically output DV as hdr10 even with match content enabled and a Sony DV display. This is important to note. Apparently either the ipad air 4th gen or the dongle do NOT support the so called player led Dolby Vision profile (which is required by my Sony)...... The good news? Since you have selected match content, even though the ipad and dongle decide to output DV as HDR10, you have the 24p output still......so you get the full 4k resolution of the downloaded content. Not a perfect solution but workable. VERY BIG CAVEAT: This dongle (or the ipad based on this dongle) forced Atmos audio in downloaded iTunes content to be 2 channel audio output from the iPad Air 4th gen. This is a big caveat if you are wanting to hear surround sound. However these appears to be support for 5.1 content in some apps like HBO now. So YMMV. In summary, this is a well priced dongle. It appears to offer the key features that the overpriced Apple branded dongle offers. I'm giving it four stars because it would have been nice for Anker to provide more details about what is and is not supported, rather than users have to experiment themselves.

Works perfectly, allowing me to see anything on my iPad directly on my tv screen. Love Anker products!

When the HDMI port on my Mac Mini went tires up, I needed means to connect the monitor via one of the Mini's Thunderbolt ports. This adapter did the job with no loss of resolution or display quality. Looks to be a well-made adapter.

This little "dongle" (i.e., adapter cable) works very well; I use it to hook my iPad to the HDMI connector on my TV, via a longer HDMI cable. It exactly fits my needs and, as such, is well-worth the price - money well-spent.

Perfettamente compatibile con il mio Lenovo Idea Tab Pro

built like a tank. reliable. overpriced, but if you need reliability i would probably buy this over the $5 ones at shopee.

Funciona perfectamente. Solo hay que configurar el IPad para desactivar el bloqueo de pantalla automático y evitar que nos apague la pantalla a la que nos conectamos (al menos yo no lo sé hacer de otra forma)
