Maxonar USB C to HDMI Cable [8K, 48Gbps], Type C to HDMI 2.1 Adapter Cord, 8K@30Hz, 4K@120Hz, HDR, [Thunderbolt 4/3, USB 4 Compatible] for iMac, MacBook Pro/Air M1 2021, iPad Pro, Surface Pro, 6ft

Works great. I have an Asus Zephyrus G14 and using this cable on the DisplayPort (left side USB-C port) is how you need to use it. No weird artifacts or anything noticeable from the active adapter. See below for one thing I noticed though.IMPORTANT: There does seem to be a small amount of latency though so I'm not sure how well this would work for competitive gamingMy USB-C displayport seems to have some intermittent issues which seem to irritate this adapter but I'm pretty sure its the laptop and not the adapter.I also noticed doing 4k 120hz on HDR that there can be some artifacts on totally black screens. I believe this is due to display stream compression but I'm not sure. Could be the active converter in the cable too doesn't work the best with HDR. Just black screens with other, brighter objects.

Got a pair of these to help complete my WFH setup and let me share my monitors between my personal laptop and work laptop. The cables came in a nicely packaged box, are braided with strong feeling material, and so far have been working great letting me use my QHD displays at 144Hz. I also know that if I ever decide to upgrade to 4K or an ultrawide, I won't have to get new cables.

This is the worst HDMI cable I've ever owned. The screen only stays on for 10-30 seconds at a time, then going black for a few seconds as if it was unplugged for a second and then plugged back in.I was trying to use this cable for a 2020 13" M1 Mac Pro with 8GB memory, and connecting it to a 55" Vizio TV which I've been using as my primary monitor for the past few years.I also noticed when checking the cable connection that the HDMI part of this cable is getting extremely hot after just a few seconds, which I suspect has something to do with why this cable is having issues. I've never had an HDMI cable get hot to the touch.After then checking the reviews here to see if others were having any similar issues I found there are plenty of reviews mentioning this very issue, confirming to me this cable is just junk.I have never seen this kind of issue before with any cables I've owned in the past. And since trying out this cable I have purchased a hub that includes an HDMI output and am connecting my Mac to my Vizio through this hub using a normal HDMI 2.1 cable and have not had any issues.

I tried a lot of cables and adapters to get 5k resolution on my 49” ultrawide monitor from a 2019 MacBook. I could not find a usb c to hdmi 2.1 cable until I found this one. The cable works perfectly for my needs. I only get 60hz at 5k but that’s all I need for work. No signal loss, flicker etc like I had with the various other cable/adapter combos I tried. Before this cable, the combo that kinda worked for my setup was to go from the MacBook usb c > DisplayPort adapter > DisplayPort 1.4 to hdmi 2.1 cable and then to my monitor. Now I have only one cable. It’s a much cleaner and reliable connection.

I have an Macbook M1 Max and a monitor (LG C1 48") that supports 4k @ 120hz (which I use with my gaming desktop at 4k@120hz just fine via HDMI 2.1).However, using this cable, with your M1 Max, you will NOT be able to get 4k at 120hz.You will get 4k at 60hz.I have tried 3 cables now, and it seems the Macbook M1 Max does not support 4k @ 120hz regardless of the cable used. The title of this cable suggested to me that it would work, so I thought I'd try it.You CAN get 2560x1400 at 120hz using this cable (or any standard HDMI 2.0 cable via the built-in HDMI2.0 port on the M1 Max).

This item does exactly what it says it can do. Bought a 4k 120hz tv, and noticed my laptop has an hdmi 2.0 port so I was capped out of gaming mode. I ordered this, and plugged it into my setup. Everything works, and I am able to game 4k 120hz hdr. No screen tearing issues noticed. BO3 zombies were smooth, and had no problem with it either.

I run dual computers; a 2019 MBP for "work" and a Windows PC for gaming. I've been having trouble with not being able to watch aTV on either monitor, I kept getting an HDCP error. When I'd switch A/B channels to play games on widows the monitor wouldn't reload the mac desktop when I switched back. It was a huge PITA.I installed these cables and everything "just works" like it should. Excellent cables!

Junk cable like the rest on Amazon. If you're trying to do 144hz @4k or higher, this cable can't handle it. The enclosure just before the HDMI port gets really hot and the HDMI signal keeps dropping. It's no reason good cables are so expensive.
