    Works great

    Is fast and works as expected, very easy to install but, it gets really hot too soon. Fortunetely since it works outside just make sure to be on an A/C environment or use an external fan.

    Works, but no FreeSync or VRR

    If you’re looking for a USB-C to HDMI adapter to pass through FreeSync or G-Sync for VRR, this won’t do that. I’ve tried 3 different adapters now and I am convinced it’s simply not possible. If that was your goal, hopefully I saved you a bit of trouble. That said, you can get an adapter with equal functions for less than half the price.

    Works perfect with my Lenovo 900 laptop

    The j5create USB-C to HDMI JCA157 adapter works excellent with my Lenovo 900 laptop computer. I understand it will not work with ALL usb-c’s, however, j5create technical department Julian replied to my inquiry and determined it would work with my laptop. I was hesitant to purchase it as I had purchased another brand from another supplier and it did not work correctly. Thank you Julian at j5create for the excellent technical support.

    Quality Connector

    Replaced several cheaper options I had previously tried to use to connect my MacBook Pro to a monitor, this one worked like a dream compared to the cheap things I bought off Amazon. It has continued working seamlessly for three months, which is 2 and a half months longer than the last one I had.

  • I recently bought a ps5, and my monitor is unable to support the HDMI 2.1 cable. Will this be able to support it, and allow my monitor to produce 120 frames. I have a Viotek 120hz monitor. Thank you.

    The USB-C to HDMI 2.1 8K Adapter will not work with the setup you are trying to accomplish via PS5 to a monitor. This Adapter connects using the USB-C side to a computer, tablet or mobile phone that supports DisplayPort Alt Mode for video out to a display using the HDMI side. You will need to use HDMI cables, one side connects to PS5 and the other to your monitor.
