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.

[@ElectronicsComputers]

USB-C port natively supports a whole bunch of signals including HDMI, VGA, Displayport, digital audio etc. Some people buy not cables that simply transfer native signal but active adapters in order to get 4K at 60Hz when their CPUs/GPUs only support 4K at 30Hz and of course in that case there will be some latency issues. But if your hardware supports 4K@60HZ and you bought a proper cable (the links in the description) there won't be any problems.

[@SensitizedX]

@@ElectronicsComputers Hey, thanks for your response! I actually tested seemingly active "adapters", like Lenovo USBC to HDMI. These required an additional HDMI cable to be plugged in. My GPU is RTX3070 Mobile with 4K60 support. So your recommendation is for me to buy a passive USBC to HDMI cable, and then there wont be any added latency? If so, that would really help me a lot.

[@SensitizedX]

@@ElectronicsComputers I have just tested a USBC to HDMI cable (no adaptor involved, passive) and it has the same issues. At 3840x2160, the input latency goes through the roof. I can not use USBC to HDMI in any way to play games at 4K. Latency with HDMI is 20 miliseconds, and with USBC to HDMI is 60 miliseconds.

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. :)

[@ElectronicsComputers]

Your laptop 100% supports 4k at 60Hz via Displayport. If your monitor has only HDMI port then it's only possible by using an active converter. You need a Qgeem USB-C to HDMi cable in aluminum case. The links in the description. I've tested that cable on some old laptops and it worked perfectly. But again the best solution is a monitor that has USB-C or Displayport input.

[@DukeHawke]

[@Gunbardo]

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?

Technically, it's possible to transmit video signal from a laptop which has Displayport to a monitor with HDMI port but not vise versa.You'll need some sort of adapter to do that. But you shouldn't use those adapters to convert DisplayPort to HDMI. DisplayPort natively outputs in a LVDS signal type that is not compatible with HDMI (HDMI uses TMDS). It does have a dual-mode version that will support TMDS in compatibility mode. It will never work reliably. Just use HDMI to HDMI connection.

Now I've found a pc in my area, but it only has a DVI, and VGA port. I want to use my 4k monitor with an vga/dvi to hdmi adapter, but that only supports 4k30. Is there any adapter on the market that I could use to get 4k60? Like USB to HDMI, etc.

[@ElectronicsComputers]

They simply don't exist. VGA is a true analogue signal and DVI to HDMI is the only your option with 4K at 30Hz. USB adapters with external graphics card is very laggy and I don't recommend using them.

[@prathameshvengurlekar7037]

I have laptop with HDMI port which support only 1080p resolution. Have a type c port but may its don't have display port functionality. Although my laptop processor support 4k. Can I use this cable to hook up 4k monitor?

[@ElectronicsComputers]

At least tell me the model of your laptop. How am I supposed to know will it work for you or not without knowing the models of your monitor and laptop?

[@cefrio]

how about a macbook pro, can i use a thunderbolt to displayport cable for 4k?

[@ElectronicsComputers]

A Thunderbolt 2 port can support a 4K monitor at 30Hz, while Thunderbolt 3 can support a 4K display at 60Hz

[@yurishalk1723]

Hello and help! 😅 My notebook is a Dell Inspiron 5584, with just a hdmi 1.4. I want to connect it in my TV LG 4k, but not in 30hz. There's a USB 3.1 Gen 1 (Type-C) port as well. Is there any solution for me? An adaptor maybe? Thanks!

[@ElectronicsComputers]

That USB-C port is data only and doesn't stream any video or audio. And HDMI port 1.4b also doesn't support 4K at 60Hz. There are some Chinese active converters that can fake the frame rate but they will never perform as good as real 4K video at 60Hz.

[@bvekrai8042]

What type of cable is good for gaming laptop to external monitor for gaming. Display port(monitor) to Type c(laptop) ? HDMI(monitor) to HDMI(laptop)? and so on ..

Sorry but I am not sure I understand what yu mean at the 04'mn ... are you saying that the USB C to HDMI models from QGEEM ae cheap (meaning low quality ?) ? on the contrary to the USB C to DISPLAY PORT ? Thanks by adavance.

[@ElectronicsComputers]

QGEEM makes high quality cables and we never had any problems with them. I said that if you have a choice between a USB-C to Displayport and USB-C to HDMI cables then you have to choose the first option.

[@dgeci]

@@ElectronicsComputers I see. Thanks for the clarification. But then why the displayport is better than the hdmi version ? Also, what about the cable version versus the adaptaters version of these products ? I feel like the cable version is better since they doesnt require any additional cable (hdmi to hdmi) and maybe could be more reliable and durable because the design is more simple than the adaptaters.

Hello there and this is such a great video and it’s very informative. I do have a problem though, my laptop can achieve 144fps in game but it has a 60hz display so I went ahead and bought a 144hz BenQ XL2411P and now my laptop doesn’t have a DisplayPort port and i cannot get 144hz through hdmi because it’s a 1.4 version. My laptop does have a usb c 3.0 port though so if I get the type c to DisplayPort cable, well I be able to get 1920x1080 144hz ?

Nice video, I wanna get the new Huawei matebook 14 2020 ryzen model but I'm not sure if it's USB port can handle 60hz on a 4k display. I asked them what is the specification of the usb c port because I've read somewhere that 5Gbps speed is not enough to do 4k 60hz, it needs to be up to 10Gbps. They said the specification of the USB C port in the laptop is " USB 3.1(Max 5Gbps,the actual transmission rate is related to the third-party device USB-C used by the user.)，and DisplayPort(max 4K@60Hz) ". I'm quite confused with this as they said the speed is only 5Gbps max but hey also said DisplayPort(max 4K@60Hz). How can it output 4k 60hz if the speed is only 5Gbps? Does that mean the speed isn't related to the display output? Does any usb c port can handle 4k 60hz? I just really want to know if the laptop can do 4k 60hz on an external 4k display. Do I really need to use Displayport to USB C to get 4k 60hz or does HDMI 2.0 cable to usb c also do 60hz 4k? Would really appreciate your help.

[@ElectronicsComputers]

USB port speed has nothing to do with Displayport or HDMI signals. USB-C port has a bunch of terminals which transmit different signals. USB-C ports of some cheap laptops can transmit only USB data and some laptops can also transmit native Displayport and HDMI signals. So make sure that your laptop has Dispalyport 1.2 or higher.

[@replaylist4568]

@@ElectronicsComputers I see, thank you so much for your response. Because they mentioned that the USB-C port in the laptop is "USB 3.1(Max 5Gbps,the actual transmission rate is related to the third-party device USB-C used by the user.)，and DisplayPort(max 4K@60Hz)" I think the bit where they mentioned "and DisplayPort(max 4K@60Hz)" means it is capable of 4k 60hz on DisplayPort Alt Mode. Is that correct?

[@andrewwilkinson5220]

When shopping for a laptop, how can you easily identify if the usb c supports DisplayPort 1.2? If they use thunderbolt 3, then they usually have the lightening bolt, but it’s really hard to tell, because a lot of laptops will say DisplayPort, but it’s version 1.1 which won’t do 4K at 60hz

[@ElectronicsComputers]

Simply buy any laptop with Intel's 10th or 11th gen CPU.

Hi, thank you for this awesome video! I have the following setup : - MacBook Pro 16' 2019 - USB-C to HDMI Adapter: Belkin (model: F2CU038bt-BLK) - 28" 4K UHD Monitor (UE590) (Samsung) I can not get the 4k at 60 Hz, only 30 Hz.

Put your HDMI cable into HDMI 2 port on your TV.

[@ZakariaBoualaid]

2013Electronics&Computers Yes I am aware that HDMI 1 is 30Hz and HDMI 2 is 60Hz is that what you mean? While using HDMI 2 I can see it’s 60Hz from the TV information from the menu but the sceen is messy with various random colors. Any idea why is that?

[@ElectronicsComputers]

@@ZakariaBoualaid It's hard to tell could be the problem with your adapter + cable. I never recommend using dongles they usually never work flawlessly. Can you connect your adapter's USB-C cable to another device like windows laptop or Android smartphone Samsung or something?

[@ZakariaBoualaid]

2013Electronics&Computers I dont have at the moment any other device or laptop that has usb-c. But I can tell you that the cable is fine, I have 3 of them from known brands, one of them originally came with the ps4 pro and it supports 4k. I am pretty sure that the issue is in the dongle.. even though it’s one of the best brands out there.. Last week I was using another dongle cheaper brand, 4k@60Hz worked for 2 weeks. I don’t know why it suddenly stopped working or giving any signal after I updated my OS x to catalina 10.15.4, I restored to 10.15.3 thanks to a backup I had with the hope that the update was the reason but still didn’t help. I will try to find other grounds so I can put this belkin dongle to the test, please if you find anything regarding this issue and that could help let me know 🙏🙏

[@ElectronicsComputers]

Unfortunately, there's nothing you can do about it. Yes, there are some adapters on the market which are basically external super slow USB graphics cards and it's so bad so can't even watch youtube, it works only for Word and Excel. And only USB 3.0 interface can achieve resolution up to 1920x1080, if you are USB 2.0 port (just like in your case), it just can be 800 x 600.

[@smitz999]

The reason I ask is, I have a Lenovo ideapad 5 on order and the specs say Display port over usb c but states 3840x2160 30hz max. It is usb 3.1 gen 1. You can see here under specification tab. psref.lenovo.com/Product/IdeaPad/IdeaPad_5_15ARE05

[@ElectronicsComputers]

Technically and standard wise it shouldn't be like that. We don't know how they performed that test. If they used adapters or a dockstation the 30Hz i quite possible but if you'll use a proper USB-C to Dispaly port cable which deliver native video signal I'm pretty sure you'll get 4K at 60Hz.

There's no any option for you. Actually, there are some adapters with external graphics card which work via USB 3.0 and they could run 4Kat 60Hz but it's super unreliable and you can't play or watch 4K videos using that adapter. Just for some office tasks and browsing.

Have you tried to change it manually in Settings->Samsung Dex->Screen resolution for Samsung Dex? Also try to plug your cable into another HDMI port and also try to change resolution through the setting menu. I'd recommend using USB-C to Displayport in aluminum case that I used in the video. In that case you'll get 4K at 60Hz. Via HDMI 1.4 you'll get only 4K at 30Hz which is not good.
