Merchant VideoAdd an 8K HDMI Port to Your Laptop
Experience the brilliant picture your screen was designed to display. The Plugable USB-C to HDMI 8K Adapter (USBC-HDMI8K) isn’t just designed for the monitor you have today — although that monitor will look fantastic with ultra-sharp resolutions up to 4K 144Hz. Console and PC gamers alike will also appreciate the adapter's support for 4K 120Hz, offering a smooth, lag-free, and immersive experience.
The USBC to HDMI is also your gateway to the future of display technology, supporting up to 8K 60Hz (Max resolution on Mac is 4K 60Hz). If you're a gamer seeking immersive gameplay, a designer working on intricate projects, or simply someone who enjoys high-definition entertainment, this HDMI to USBC adapter brings your screen to life with unmatched clarity and detail.
But it's not just about the resolution. This HDMI USB C adapter supports HDMI 2.1 features, including HDR, and it’s HDCP compliant so you won’t have a problem streaming. This means richer colors, deeper contrasts, and a sound experience that's as good as it gets, making everything from fast-paced games to high-resolution video editing a true pleasure. Plus, its design ensures you're ready for the next generation of displays, whether that's a 6K or 8K screen.
Compatibility is key, and that’s where our HDMI adapter for laptop excels. It works seamlessly with any PC that has a USB-C, USB4, or Thunderbolt port supporting DP 1.4. When using this USB-C to HDMI adapter with a Mac, or as a MacBook HDMI adapter, max resolution is 4K 60Hz. That means easy connectivity to a variety of HDMI 2.1-enabled displays. And, it’s Plug and Play, so there aren’t any drivers to download.
Compatibility
Does the adapter require any additional software installation?
On macOS systems they do not support 4K at 120Hz via a USB-C to HDMI 2.1 adapter due to macOS limitations. 4K 60hz is compatible with macOS.
What sort of cable should I use with the USBC-HDMI 2.1 adapter?
A certified HDMI 2.1 cable is ideal for the best experience.
Does the adapter support a resolution of 4K 144hz?
Yes, on Windows 10 and 11 systems 4K 144hz refresh rate is supported on systems with Display Stream Compression (DSC). On macOS 4K 60hz refresh rate is supported.
Which HDMI 2.1 features does this adapter support?
The adapter supports Variable Refresh Rate (VRR), Auto Low Latency Mode (ALLM), HDR10+ as well as support for Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos.
Are there any special system requirements for maximum display modes?
For display modes above 4K120 or 8K30 (such as 4K144 or 8K60) the host device must support DSC (Display Stream Compression), an optional feature of the DisplayPort spec which is enabled in most modern hosts with Thunderbolt 4 and USB4.
