Belkin USB-C to HDMI Adapter + Charge (Supports 4K UHD Video, Pass-Through Power up to 60W for Connected Devices) HDMI Adapter- Black

Essendo un felice possessore del nuovo MacBook Pro 15″ con Touch bar e avendo esigenze urgenti di proiettare su di un proiettore, mi sono ritrovato fin da subito a cercare qui su Amazon un adattatore Usb c – VGA in grado di soddisfare le mie esigenze, perché sinceramente non mi andava di spendere 40 € all’Apple Store. Dopo averne provati qui su Amazon ben 3 adattatori di marche diverse, mi ero quasi rassegnato a comprare quello originale della Apple, perché nessuno era compatibile con il MacBook Pro (non li riconosceva). Andando sul sito della Apple per acquistare quello originale e ho visto che era della Belkin, allora dopo una piccola ricerca su Amazon l’ho trovato ad un prezzo decisamente migliore, cioè 24,99€. Praticamente uguale a quello venduto nel sito Apple, l’unica cosa di diversa è il colore nero e la scritta Belkin. Appena attaccato il MacBook Pro ha riconosciuto subito il monitor connesso con la risoluzione massima uguale a quella dichiarata, cioè 1920×1080. l’ho provato anche con un proiettore e tutto funziona alla grande.
Quindi se siete dei felici possessori di un MacBook Pro con touch bar e non volete spendere cifre folli per un adattatore Apple, vi consiglio vivamente questo adattatore Usb c – VGA, che alla fine è praticamente lo stesso venduto da Apple ma ad un prezzo inferiore.

PRO:
– Piccolo e compatto
– Rifinitura estetica perfetta
– Ottima qualità
– Compatibile con MacBook pro 15″ 2016 con touch bar

CONTRO:
– Nessuno

Grazie come sempre ad Amazon per la serietà e la velocità che ogni volta dimostra.

Der Adapter funktioniert Problemlos. Ich nutze diesen um meinen Laptop an DVI und VGA Monitore anzuschließen. Kann ich nur empfehlen.

Oh what a scam this aftermarket cables world is. I fell into this rabbit hole when I wanted to get my MacBook hooked up to a 4k monitor.

Tried multiple cables and hubs, they all advertise displays upto 5k. But none of them support it at 60Hz, even the ones who blatantly advertise to do so! Amazon is so full of them, cheap Chinese knockoffs and what not.

Belkin was my last resort. I would have gone out and returned my Acer 4k monitor (costing 55k) if this wasn’t going to work. This quite simply would have been the last straw.

With heartfelt emotions I write this review (in full 60Hz 4k resolution), this adapter JUST WORKS 🙂

Buy it for your MacBook without a doubt!

I highly recommend this belkin adapter. Excellent product. Exactly as pictured. Before I bought this, I bought the Amkette multiport adapter (https://www.amazon.in/Amkette-MultiPort-Adapter-USB-Smartphones/dp/B08MFPPMLD). If you are considering that because it’s cheaper or because it has a third USB port, DON’T. The Amkette was defective so I bought this Belkin and the quality difference between the two is apparent from the first touch. It’s more sturdy, the external material is great and it works exactly as it should.

Just the job.

Initially I purchased ugreen usb hub which contains usb A, hdmi and memory card reader since i wanted memory card reader as well. It was of good quality but kind of heating a lot and battery drains from laptop faster. So i was looking for alternatives and decided to purchase HDMI adapter and card reader as a separate devices since memory card reader is occasionally required for my purpose, but HDMI requires all the time for my second monitor with dell full HD from Macbook M1 air. After I started using this i was very much satisfied. As per my testing, this adapter consumes 5 watts to operate which is good. Lets look into the pros and cons

Pros
1. No over heating compared to my previous hub (litte warm, but compared to ugreen aluminium body heat, its much much better)
2. Battery is not draining fast compared to my ugreen usb C hub
3. it has HDMI output as well as charging port. So no need to sacrifice another usb c port for charging in host devices
4. Works great with mac m1 and windows 11
5. No issues while mac awake from sleep which some users complained that other brand hubs are not recognised by mac when mac book wakes from sleep mode
6. Checked with 65 watts lenovo charger and 35 watts apple charger. It works good

Cons
1. Made of plastic. Could have been in aluminium which will look good as well as good heat dissipation
2. When charging port is used in the adapter along with HDMI port, monitor will reconnect while charger is switched off
3. Type C port in adapter can be used only for charging purpose, it will not support any other connectivity like connecting type c pendrive or another usb hub
4. I am not sure this type charging port on this adapter is pass through charging because when I connect the apple charger to this adapter macbook just charging but mac is not recognising it as apple charger or another brand charger but only recognise the charging wattage. Its not the case if I connect the charger directly on c port regardless of if its apple charger or lenovo type c charger. Mac os was able to detect as apple or lenovo charger and its wattage along with how much power it can give as output. If anybody’s wants the host device to recognise the charger type, i guess apple type multiport adapter is the only choice

I haven’t tested this adapter with 4k monitor. So not sure how much heat it will generate if it connected to 4k monitor

My laptop only comes with a USB-C port connected to a 65W charger. The single HDMI port is already connected to the first monitor. This C-HDMI adaptor allows me to connect to a 2nd monitor while charging my laptop at the same time.
