Review: Dissapointing given the price - The CalDigit USB-C to HDMI 2.1 8K Video Adapter let me down. Even though it has great reviews I have found it to be of inferior performance compared to offerings from other manufacturers, making it hard to justify the price premium paid for this product. On top of this, it's worth noting that the adapter lacks DolbyVision support. If you're planning to connect it to an iPad or device capable of outputting DolbyVision I would avoid this adapter (see pic attached). For SDR / HDR10 output it will work fine but it's overall performance is still worse compared to other adapters. The adapter I went for in the end is (https://amzn.eu/d/jm5iyYy), I hope this saves you the hassle of trying different products and dealing with returns. The build quality of the adapter is great and in line with other CalDigit products, ease of use also receives a 5-star but they won't make up for the other drawbacks. Review: Incapable adapter - I was forced to buy a few different brands one after another, because they all seem to make claims that are not entirely true. In this adapter's case, it cannot achieve HDMI 2.1 spec to the word. When attempting 4K 120Hz HDR with LPCM audio, the adapter can only go up to 4:2:0 compressed format, which means 'fuzzy' colours as it is an old way of transmitting compressed lossy video image data to a screen, pure uncompressed RGB requires higher bandwidth, which is what the HDMI 2.1 spec allows for! This adapter is incapable of RGB 10bit @ 120hz in 4K, as such it should not be labeled 'HDMI 2.1' adapter. Those who are after a Thunderbolt 3/USB4 compatible 8K adapter, to help you avoid having to make returns (I'm doing you a favour here by saving you on headaches), in the end the one that worked without issue was https://www.desertcart.co.uk/dp/B0B57T77H3 ## Features - Allows you to connect displays with resolutions up to 8K (7680x4320@60Hz with DSC or 30Hz without DSC) - High Bandwith Audio and Video - HDCP 2.3, DSC 1.32a, and HDR supported - Utilizes Reversible USB Type C Connector - Compatible with Thunerbolt 3, Thunderbolt 4, USB4, or any USB-C Digital Video Output - Compatible with macOS, iPadOS, Windows 10/11, Chrome OS and Android* - Plug and Play - No additional driver installation is required ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B0BY3VS8LF | | Best Sellers Rank | 21,533 in Computers & Accessories ( See Top 100 in Computers & Accessories ) 55 in DVI to HDMI Adapters | | Brand | CalDigit | | Brand Name | CalDigit | | Colour | Chrome | | Compatible Devices | Laptop | | Compatible devices | Laptop | | Connector Type | HDMI, USB Type C | | Connector type | HDMI , USB Type C | | Country of Origin | Taiwan | | Current Rating | 1 Amps | | Customer Reviews | 4.2 out of 5 stars 65 Reviews | | Item Dimensions | 23.5 x 15.9 x 1.3 centimetres | | Item Weight | 0.1 Pounds | | Item dimensions L x W x H | 23.5 x 15.9 x 1.3 centimetres | | Manufacturer | CalDigit | | Manufacturer Part Number | USBC-HDMI21 | | Model Number | USBC-HDMI21 | | Number of Items | 1 | | Number of Ports | 3 | | Package Quantity | 1 | | Power Plug Type | No Plug | | Product Finish Type | Chrome,Silicon | | Specific Uses For Product | PC, Laptop, Tablets, Camera, TV, Projector | | Specific uses for product | PC, Laptop, Tablets, Camera, TV, Projector | | Unit Count | 1.0 count | ## Product Details - **Colour:** black - **Compatible devices:** Monitor, Television, Thunderbolt 3 docks - **Connector type:** DisplayPort, HDMI - **Item dimensions L x W x H:** 32.4 x 11.4 x 6.4 centimetres - **Specific uses for product:** ['Monitor', 'Television', 'Projector'] ## Images ![CalDigit USB-C to HDMI 2.1 Female High-Resolution Display Adapter Dongle - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51637hLrISL.jpg) ![CalDigit USB-C to HDMI 2.1 Female High-Resolution Display Adapter Dongle - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71vx+mPQVzL.jpg) ![CalDigit USB-C to HDMI 2.1 Female High-Resolution Display Adapter Dongle - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71LO9AFLXTL.jpg) ![CalDigit USB-C to HDMI 2.1 Female High-Resolution Display Adapter Dongle - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81Po6da14CL.jpg) ![CalDigit USB-C to HDMI 2.1 Female High-Resolution Display Adapter Dongle - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81BToE2Yl6L.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Style** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐ Dissapointing given the price *by D***. on 27 May 2024* The CalDigit USB-C to HDMI 2.1 8K Video Adapter let me down.
