3M USB Type C to HDMI Cable Support 4K@60Hz, Thunderbolt 3/4 to HDMI Lead 2.0 Braided Cord for iPhone 15 Plus Pro Max,iMac,MacBook Pro/Air,Samsung Galaxy,iPad Pro/Air/Mini,Switch, Android Phone to TV
These work well for a wired connection out of a USB-C device into an HDMI input on a TV or monitor.
Beware, however, that some devices such as Google’s Pixel phones do not support HDMI out from the USB-C connection!
Build quality seems good with nice rounded connectors and strain reliefs.
If your USB-C device supports it then these should work just fine with any HDMI input.
To be fair my devices were not listed as supported, but I’ve ordered this to try out anyway.
I’ve tried on a Xiaomi phone, Nintendo Switch OLED and Fire HD tablet, as well as an old Huawei Mate 10.
They all didn’t work, with the screen saying no signal detected.
Most of my devices may be old, but the Switch OLED is quite new, I guess the device needs to supply enough power for it to work, or some form of external power needs to be supplied to the cable.
For these cables it is kind of hit and miss, although they’re all supposed to be standard USB-C port devices.
Anyway, I’ll still keep the cable for use next time when I upgrade the iPad or iPhone with a USB-C port.
This 5M USB Type C to HDMI cable is a great choice for connecting my devices to a monitor or TV. The cable is well-made and features a braided exterior that protects it from wear and tear. It is also very flexible, so I can easily route it around my desk or home theatre setup. have used this cable to connect my MacBook Pro to my TV, and I have been very impressed with the results. The picture quality is excellent, and the cable has been very reliable. I have not experienced any connection problemsorlag.
Review of Maxgroup USB C to HDMI cable
Description
Arrives in a cardboard box, I prefer to receive cables that are boxed rather than shipped in plastic packaging as a box offers better protection during transit. There is no branding on the box or the cable itself which suggests this is a generic product sold under different brand names.
The cable is a braided design which I like better than PVC coated cables as they do not kink. At 3 meters long this is a practical length for having your screen and device separated. The cable is also available in different lengths. A Velcro cable tie is included so you and coil up and secure any spare cable run.
I tested this cable with my Gen 5 Apple iPad Air and latest HP laptop with Thunderbolt 4 port and both worked fine and the USB C port detected the external monitor. My older HP laptop with Thunderbolt 3 port did not work and the external monitor was not detected.
In summary a well-made cable, worked OK with the latest technology, it may not work with slightly older technology devices.
This cable plugs into the USB C (or Thunderbolt) slot of your Windows computer or Android Phone.
Either way, the cable is identified as a video output cable, and video is displayed on the TV or monitor you just plugged into.
On Windows, this could be an extension of your current desktop or a different desktop.
On Android, this could be just a display of your phone screen, but with compatible phones it will also display Samsung Dex which is a version of Android which looks & functions a lot more like Windows, with apps re-sized appropriately for the larger screen.
Looking at the listing, it appears to be compatible with pretty much all the major brands of laptop along with any Apple or Android phone or tablet from the last few years.
Finally, the cable feels very smooth and premium, with reinforced plugs and braided edges, and no strong bends which won’t come out.
The HDMI end is a little longer than a standard HDMI cable, and you should check it fits behind your TV… You will need about 7cm of spare space for the cable to bend around. If not, you might need an HDMI right-angled adaptor.
I’m very happy with it.
I couldn’t ask for more really. The quality of the cable seems excellent, it comes with a handy little cable wrap to keep it tidy for traveling and it works. I tried it using a fair phone 5 and surface go 3 and everything was displayed perfectly on my TV.
What more could I ask for?
Highly recommended!
This is a well made cable. Nicely braided. Metal ends. I got the 1.5m cable.
I tested it with my Surface Pro on 2 x 4K monitors. One my LG 65″ TV and my Aorus 43″ gaming monitor. For some reason the LG would only run at 30Hz on this cable whereas from my dock it runs at 60Hz on HDMI. I was about to mark the cable down then I plugged it into my Aorus and it ran excellently at 60Hz at 4k on that.
I’ve tried on 1080p and 2440p and it works on all. It’s reasonable for a high quality cable that can run at this definition. I’m still not sure why the LG would only do 30Hz so need to caveat that, but it still ran perfectly well at that speed. I had no problems viewing on any monitor. Overall I’d recommend it.
