## Description

Upgrade to HDMI 2.1 with this versatile USB-C to HDMI adapter. Supports stunning 8K 60Hz or 4K 240Hz resolutions for high-quality video on compatible displays.

Review: 120Hz with M1 Pro Mac - great customer service! - Bought this specifically to get 120Hz out of my M1 Pro Macbook Pro as I had moved to a LG C3 42 inch TV as a monitor. Asked to confirm this was the right one (it was) and they sent the instructions for how to apply and update. All done, and it worked straight away with my Sony TV (as a test). However when I got my C3, I could only get 30Hz out of it (using a known good cable that handled 120Hz directly on the PC straight off the bat and would do 60 Hz straight from the Macbook). Contacted Cable Matters and within the day I received a brand new firmware update which worked and I got 120Hz with the LG C3. They even confirmed that it would work with the latest update of Sonoma. Note: You will need a USB-C or Thunderbolt connection which supports DP Alt mode so don't get disheartened if it doesn't work after the update. A great product backed by fantastic customer service from Cable Matters (all responses were within the day). Special shout out to Grace from Cable Matters who was brilliant!
Review: One cable solution with 4k 120Hz support on M1 Pro Mac (with firmware update) - Disclaimer: 4k 120Hz is not supported out of the box, it will require manual tweaking The process of enabling it is straight forward and requires less than 5 minutes of work. You will require a Windows machine with a thunderbolt3/4 port or DP over USBC capabilities. The firmware and instructions are found online after searching: DP/USB-C/Thunderbolt 3/4 to HDMI 2.1 4k@120hz RGB4:4:4 10b HDR with Apple Silicon M1/M2/M3 now possible ! The Cable Matters USB-C to HDMI 2.1 solved all my issues. I've long wanted to embrace the one cable life with my Macbook but always had to compromise. All docks I've come across are limited to 4k 60Hz when connected to Macs just like the HDMI port on the device itself. This adapter was outstanding and singlehandedly resolved my issue. Using the firmware update tools and an older firmware version I was able to utilize the Thunderbolt 4 ports on my dock and display 4K 120Hz HDR to my TV. If you're planning to replicate this, for the smoothest experience ensure the adapter is the 201388-A model and you're using a certified HDMI 2.1 cable. The build quality on the adapter is great. The aluminium shell dissipates the heat from the chip inside the adapter and allows it to run significantly cooler than other products I tried. I was so happy with this adapter that I ordered another one straight away. I recommend this adapter to everyone.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Is this adapter bidirectional? / Can I use it with my host’s HDMI output and my monitor’s USB-C input?**
A: No. This adapter is a unidirectional USB-C to HDMI adapter. It only converts video from USB-C with DP Alt Mode or Thunderbolt 3/4/5 ports (host) to HDMI displays. It does not support HDMI sources like the PS5 or Xbox to USB-C devices.

**Q: Does this adapter work with macOS? / Does it support 4K@120Hz, 4K@240Hz, or 8K on my Mac?**
A: This adapter can work with macOS host but is limited to 4K@60Hz on macOS. For 4K@120Hz or 4K@240Hz on Mac models, use the firmware-enhanced macOS version, ASIN B0DCN798Y1 / Model 201488.

**Q: How can I achieve 8K@60Hz, 4K@120Hz, or 4K@240Hz with this adapter?**
A: Actual output depends on the host USB-C/Thunderbolt port, GPU, drivers, HDMI 2.1 display, and certified HDMI 2.1 cable. Some TVs may require firmware updates or Enhanced/High-Refresh HDMI mode.

**Q: Why is there no video output, flickering, or no signal?**
A: Confirm the USB-C port supports DP Alt Mode, USB4, or Thunderbolt. Use a certified HDMI 2.1 cable, select the correct HDMI input, enable Enhanced/High-Refresh mode if needed, update GPU drivers, and lower the resolution/refresh rate.

**Q: Why do I get only 4K@120Hz with Intel GPUs and Acer monitors?**
A: This is a known compatibility limitation with Intel GPU and Acer monitor setup when using this product. With AMD or NVIDIA GPUs, the same monitor can reach 4K@144Hz or higher.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ After a lot of tinkering, it actually works
*by P***S on 20 February 2023*

I tried plugging this in to my ThinkPad with i7-1165G7 CPU and only got 4K60Hz at first. Cable Matters has a firmware update tool, but my ThinkPad couldn't read the IC of the adapter's chip for some reason. After trying it on my Asus 14X i5-11357 (which also defaulted to 4K60Hz), I was able to get the Asus to read the IC of the adapter and flash the update successfully. After also updating the Intel Xe Graphics drivers on both machines, I was able to get 4K 120Hz HDR to output from both machines (albeit at 10-bit 4:4:4 on the Asus 14X and only 8-bit 4:2:0 on the ThinkPad) Regardless, it's the first (and only) such adapter I've found that can accomplish this feat, and I'm very happy with paying the slight premium for something that works perfectly (after some growing pains). Would strongly recommend - with caveats noted (you must be somewhat comfortable with tech upgrades/flashing firmware)
