This device works really well with my Dell laptop. I’ve been able to use various HDMI screens (Monitors and TVs) as a second/ presentation display with pure plug-and-play.
I have used this at work – where we have hotdesks with monitors sat there waiting for us to plug in. Previously we had to carry round little docking devices which plug into the computer and have USB/ LAN outputs on… and they were pretty bulky!
This cable allows me to just carry it easily, and it works every time.
It also works for customer presentations – I’ve used it 3 times: Twice on large TVs, and once on a projector, and it works seamlessly.
Very happy with this… the only thing that was disappointing was it didn’t work on my Google Pixel phone – but that’s apparently the fact that Google didn’t add support for video over USB C. Shame, as my wife’s Samsung works fine with this cable! (Watching phone content in the hotel room!)
Thumbs-up!
This is a very useful cable for connecting a laptop or other device with a USB C output, to a larger monitor screen. It is simply a case of plug and play. You do not need to be a technical genius to use it. Transmission rate is very fast. I cannot detect any lagging. Good value for money.
All the HDMI ports in my monitor were full and I wanted a way to connect my MacBook, I ordered this cable to try and it worked great.
I just plugged it into the monitor and my laptop and it came up as a second display right away. The picture quality was good and it had low latency. The cable is quite durable although I wouldn’t bend it around too much, it is also 1.8m long which is plenty for connecting a laptop to a monitor. I would certainly recommend it.
I’ve used lots of these adapters before – usually in presenting material from my phone, so it’s key that it’s performance is top notch, and more importantly that it does what it advertises it does.
Using this with a Samsung S20+ and a Samsung NeoLED screen, I was easily able to display phone content, and looking at the signal feed, confirmed that it did indeed display at 4k@60hz.
Sometimes a simple cable just needs to work, and in this case it does – perfectly well for my needs.

It won’t work if your USB C connection doesn’t support the DP Alt Mode. It works fine if it does, but doesn’t otherwise.
I was hoping that since it was a DriverGenius device, and it had a QR code on the pack, you might be able to get drivers for it, but the QR code doesn’t offer drivers for this cable and you don’t need any anyway.
4 stars from me since it works, but is limited to ports that use that protocol.
I use this product to display the screen on my laptop to my monitor when working from home. It is handy as it allows me to work of a bigger screen. The length of the adaptor is long enough to accommodate my current set up at home making it easy to transition from my laptop screen to my monitor. The adaptor has worked really well so far giving me no issues what so ever.
This is a really handy lead to allow quick connection to an external display for MacBooks with USBC and iPad Pros with USB C. The lead works plug and play and the quality is excellent. I believe this will work with any USBC compatible device but I only have apple stuff to try it on. The connectors feel solid and robust.
I wanted to connect my Samsung phone which doesn’t have the DP Alt Mode with my monitor. As the description said “DP Alt Mode support” I thought it could be used with a phone without DP Alt Mode, but sadly it wasn’t the case. However, it did work with my laptop hence a 4-star.
Good quality cable. Deliveres ultrawide resolution from laptop to my 34″ ultrawide monitor with 100hz refresh rate. Previously I could only get 60hz through hdmi and picture by picture mode produced some funny resolutions. Works perfectly with this usb c cable.
This is a fast and reliable cable. It is well made as well. I did test it a little bit and it was faster than some other similar ones that I have used.
What mind blowing speeds! This cable was able on average to give 1% of charge per 1 minute and even averaged at more than this with a power plug variable!
Woven to perfection, this cable will stand the test of time unlike some of its competitors that have gone for lighter materials
It even comes with dust covers for the two USB C ends which was probably intended to be packaging but is of such detail and quality that it will be practical in the endeavour that the cable maintain its high capacity.
A great edition to any cable organiser bag and a steal at the current RRP
