A usb c to hdmi cable puts your laptop’s picture on a television, a monitor or a projector with one lead and nothing in between. USB-C at the computer end, HDMI at the screen end, 4K at 60Hz, in five lengths from 1m to 5m.
This is a cable, not an adapter, and the distinction matters more than it sounds.
An adapter is a short dongle that hangs off your laptop and needs a separate HDMI cable plugged into it — two connections, two things to lose. A usb c to hdmi cable is one continuous run, with fewer joints and nothing left behind in a meeting room.
⭐ If the screen is somewhere you go back to — a desk, a lounge room, a boardroom — the cable is the right shape.
A USB-C port with DisplayPort Alt Mode.
⚠️ Worth checking before you order. Some USB-C ports carry data and charging only, with no video at all — and the port looks identical either way. No cable can work around it.
Most USB-C laptops since around 2018 support it, as do Thunderbolt 3 and Thunderbolt 4 ports. If you are not sure, tell us the model.
4K at 60Hz, 1440p at 60Hz, 1080p at 60Hz.
⚠️ “4K” on its own is not a specification — the refresh rate is. Plenty of USB-C leads stop at 4K 30Hz, where the pointer smears and anything moving looks wrong. At 60Hz a usb c to hdmi cable behaves like a normal screen connection, which is the most useful fact on this page.
1m, 1.8m, 2m, 3m and 5m.
At 4K 60Hz the signal runs near the top of what copper does comfortably, and the longer the run the harder that gets. From 1m to 3m it is routine. At 5m, tell us what you are driving — a 4K 60Hz desktop feed and a 1080p projector are very different asks of the same wire.
⚠️ We would rather have that conversation than process a return on the wrong usb c to hdmi cable.
Multi-channel audio comes with the picture. Plug a laptop into a television and the sound arrives at the television — no separate audio lead, nothing to switch over.
An hdmi cord for macbook is the commonest version of this purchase. Every MacBook since 2016 outputs DisplayPort over USB-C, so a usb c to hdmi cable is the whole answer for a TV or a second monitor.
⭐ Apple’s own adapter is a multiport dongle with three sockets. If all you want is the screen, one lead does it for a fraction of that.
That it works in reverse. It sends a picture from a USB-C computer to an HDMI screen; an HDMI source cannot drive a USB-C display through it.
That it charges your laptop. It carries video and audio; power comes from your own charger.
That every USB-C port will drive it. Without DisplayPort Alt Mode there is no picture — your laptop’s property, not this cable’s.

Your USB-C port has to output video. Some carry only data and charging, and the socket looks exactly the same either way. Most machines made since about 2018 are fine; if yours is older or you are not certain, tell us the model and we will look it up before you order.
