This seems to be a very high quality cable that works as it should! Design This seems to be a thicker and higher-quality braided cable than some others I've seen. The ends are as you would expect. I have one other similar cable and the HDMI end is larger where it plugs into the TV/display. This has a normal size end, just longer than a normal HDMI end. I don't know what they need to put in there but it seems they're all this way. I prefer the design of this where its the same size end as normal and just longer/deeper. Function It works exactly as it should, plug and play. I tested it on a 4K TV and a 1080p monitor. It worked great with both. I ran it at native 4k on the TV as well as with a scaled desktop. It worked great for desktop/computer use as well as video playback, audio and video. I tested it using two Chromebooks and two Windows 11 laptops. On all computers I used it with, the colors were bright and video played smoothly, up to 4k that I tested it at. Audio also came through without issue. Warning that you may experience Lag If you plan to use this cord for gaming, make sure to test it first. I had some issues with a noticeable lag. It's enough to make it aggravating when driving or playing other games. You can even notice it when using the mouse or other input devices in Windows. For presentations or playing back video it's not an issue, but for timing sensitive things, like gaming, it can be a problem. It seems to have something to do with how USB-C DisplayPort works. I've had the issue with more than one computer and another cable of this type from another company. I've also done searches and others have had the same problem sometimes. I haven't been able to figure out what causes it exactly but if you switch to using an HDMI out port instead of USB-C, the display response is fixed. I've had it work and not work on the same computer. I'm not sure if it could be a power management issue or not but I know it's not the cable. Just test before using this if you think it could be an issue. Again, this doesn't affect image quality or video playback. Just how quickly changes you request affect what you see on screen and it's a fraction of a second but it matters for games. I will not dock a star for this since it doesn't always happen and the problem seems to be the technology and not this cable. Summary Almost everything supports DisplayPort over USB-C. I've even used it on higher-end phones and it works. It's a great cable to have around, even just too keep in a laptop bag for unexpected presentations. The fact that this cable is rated for 8K is a bonus! Just make sure you test any gaming you want to use it for before you depend on it for that purpose.

I needed to use to hookup my laptop to my tv, but my signal would go in and out so completely worthless for me.

You’re probably like me in that you have a drawer to two filled with a variety of various computer cables. Some are current and usable, some you keep just in case you need to charge or connect some older equipment, and many are duplicates. Even so, now and then there’s something that you don’t have and realize they might be quite handy. The Insignia USB-C to HDMI is one of those. These days many newer laptop computers have dropped the HDMI port. With current USB-C and Thunderbolt ports common, having an HDMI port has become unnecessary. What you need instead is a way to connect your monitor or TV to that USB-C port, and this is the cable for that. That’s not a lot to say about cables. They work or they don’t. They are up to current standards, or they aren’t. They are well made and durable, or they aren’t. This cable meets all those standards. It handles up to 8K Ultra video. It conforms to the HDMI 2.1 specs. It has a braided 6’ cable, and it worked perfectly with my equipment. The 6’ foot length may be more than needed if you’re connecting to a computer monitor, but for using your laptop with a TV, the length is a definite plus. It’s the perfect thing for presentations, watching streaming services in a hotel room, or sharing photos and such on a large TV screen. Yes, you might be able to project to a TV, but I’ve found that dicey, hit or miss, and sometimes frustrating. This is a simple and solid solution. Carry one with your laptop.

I got this and it didn't work but a employee said this was the right one.

Superb Quality! This high quality cable has been an incredibly versatile solution not only for connecting my computer to a monitor but also comes in handy to connect my iPad to my TV. The quality of this cable is top notch with very solid plugs on each end protected by rubber gaskets at the cable connection which prevents potential damage. The cable itself took me by surprise being a very high quality, braided cable. In combination with the sturdy plugs and connectors, I have no worries regarding durability. It was plug and play using it with my MacBook Pro and Samsung monitor as well as my iPad Pro to my Sony TV outputting a 4K/60 stream. It’s supposed to support resolutions all the way up to 8K which I couldn’t test but I appreciate that it should be future-proof whenever I get an 8K TV. It appears they also have a non-8K version for $7 less but just spring for this 8K version which makes it worry-proof for the future. My only complaint is that the HDMI plug is very long making it stick out quite a bit from the monitor or TV. For the money, this is a fantastic, versatile, high-quality cable!

This Insignia HDMI cable has been very reliable so far, something we have all come to expect from the Insignia brand products. The thickness of the cable is perfect, definitely more heavy duty than most cables out there, but not too thick that it's hard to work with. The braided outer shell is also great too and I prefer it over just a coated cable. The quality has been impressive and I have had zero quality issues using the Blue Ray player as well as our satellite TV box. This is my first USB-C to HDMI cable I've ever had after having to use an adapter to USB-C for years now and I'm so excited to finally have a cable that does it all, no adapters needed. This will be excellent for the projector movie nights outside this summer to connect to the projector from the tablet or phone. Since this cable is more heavy duty than most I won't have to worry about damaging it when moving things around. Overall a trustworthy cable that I can easily recommend as it is an item most households need on hand in this day and age.

I’ll start by saying I do not own anything that runs 8K at this time. But I thought I would try this cable with other items I have. There should be at least some backward compatibility. It has not been the best experience so far. It may be that I need an adapter here and there to mitigate older tech with this cable’s requirements, to get the results I would like. First, I tried to connect my brand new Samsung S24 to a Lenovo laptop HDMI slot, running Windows 11 Pro. It did absolutely nothing at all. The Samsung didn’t even show as a connected device, yet it will show as a connected device with a regular USB cable or by WIFI and Bluetooth. The same (no)thing happened when I tried to connect the Samsung to the HDMI slots on a Mac laptop and a Mac desktop, both of which are running the current OS. I was actually wishing this cable would connect in that way somehow. Maybe there is a workaround. But I had no time to find it. I did try to open a video on the Lenovo from the S24 using VLC. But, as stated before, the device was not showing as connected at all. I then tried connecting the Lenovo to my Hisense TV, in the component HDMI slot. That worked! I wasn’t entirely enchanted with the control but it may be because of my own inexperience with doing that. I actually have no need or desire to do more of it so it was more to test the cable than have it do something I wanted it to do. The other thing I wanted it to do was connect my computers to a secondary monitor. I have an older monitor that is still really the queen of color. I use it for retouching work and there is no reason for me to throw it out. But I will have to get an adaptor to connect this cable to that older HDMI slot. I will hang on to this cable for future use. It may be out of the range of some of my current equipment and I might decide to get the adaptors needed to make it work. I like the braided cable; it reminds me of those quality cords on very old electronics, that never wore out or frayed. I’m a little concerned about the housing on the HDMI end, wondering if it is adequately insulated for that 8K kind of high performance.
