Warning to anyone intending to play with USBC to HDMI: These adaptors increase latency of the monitor output drastically! An issue no one ever really talks about. I tried various USBC -> HDMI on ASUS FA506 (2021) laptop. At 4K60, the latency in games went from 20 ms to +60ms, making games entirely unplayable. USBC to Displayport might be better, because USBC natively outputs Displayport, hence no conversion required.

My phone has a screen of up to 144hz with a type C to HDMI 4k60hz cable could I transmit to the monitor in 1080p 120hz?

This gave me the right info before I invest in 4k Monitor. Thanks!

Nice video. I want to connect 2 external monitors, i have 2 usb c ports and one hdmi ports on my pc. Can I use one of these adapters/cables and one standard hdmi cable (extended display)?

Awesome, this is what I wanted. Today I purchansed a 4k @60hz monitor and it doesn't have USB C. But laptop's HDMI is 1.4, so can't give 4k @60 Hz. Thankfully I have a thunderbolt port. So I will now buy USB C to Display port connector and I am Thanks for the video mate.

Very good review. With examples and recommendations. Thank you!

Thanks for the video mate, super helpful. I've been having an issue with getting the right resolution and framerate from my monitor for ages.

Hello :) Thank you for the video explanation (2+ years later) and very comprehensive replies to comments.

I was scrolling through the comments to see if someone already posted the same question.
However, I still have a slight doubt whether or not the integrated Intel UHD 620 graphics card can run the 4k at 60hz

My Lenovo ThinkPad L590 (20q700aqcx) has Intel i5 8265u processor, Intel UHD 620 graphics card, 16gb of RAM and 512gb SSD.
The laptop has only 1xHDMI 1.4 meaning it's limited to 4k 30hz.

Manufacturer says that 2x USB-C ports are:
-1x USB-C 3.1 Gen 1 (support data transfer, Power Delivery and DisplayPort™1.2)
-1x USB-C 3.1 Gen 2 (support data transfer, Power Delivery and DisplayPort 1.2)*
*Depending on many factors, actual data transfer speed may be lower than theoretical speed'' and they claim on paper that it can run the 4k at 60hz.

Could it still be possible to get the 4k 60hz from that Intel UHD 620 using a USB-C>HDMI2.0 cable converter?
I will be able to test this live in 3-4 weeks.

Thanks in advance for the response and happy New year.
:)

dudes voice is like on witness protection program hahahah! good video.

I want to understand this a bit more. When you say it supports 4K60Hz, do u mean that is the maximum bandwidth which it could support? So if we run below the max, what other configurations could we set? Suppose I have an RTX 3070 which is fairly capable, could the current use case output say… 1440p at 120Hz/240Hz?

[primationspictures]

Wow! Answered all of my questions, thanks!

I just subscribed glad to see your videos on YouTube.

[hatemkamal]

Can you explain why the port in your computer says “D” which means it is a mini display port but you call it USB-C ?

[Birmusade]

Technical and easy to understand video. Thanks

I have a Samsung note 10 plus and I just bought a HP envy 4k monitor. I'm trying to connect my phone to use dex mode on my 4K monitor. The problem im having is I bought a USB Type C to 4k HDMI cable and on my monitor it's only letting me go up to resolution 1080p. You think if I get the USB type c to display port, would this help my resolution? To be used at 4k?
