About this deal

Make sure the device or dongle is connected to the USB-C port on your PC that supports the features of the device or dongle. For example, if you're connecting a Thunderbolt device, make sure it’s connected to the USB-C port on your PC that supports Thunderbolt. The Alternate Mode feature must be supported on the PC or phone's hardware and software, and the connected device or dongle. You might also need a specific USB-C cable.

DVI stands for “Digital Visual Interface”, and is another common connection found on PC monitors. Things can become a little confusing when you consider there are three different types of DVI. There’s DVI-A (analog signal), DVI-D (digital signal) and DVI-I (integrated analog and digital signal). Not only that, but DVI-D and DVI-I have single-link and dual-link versions. Nowadays, DVI-A is very uncommon, as it’s no better than VGA. The reason that bandwidth becomes important is due to the advent of 4K content. Due to the limited bandwidth of HDMI 1.4, only 24fps was possible at 4K resolution (3,840 x 2,160). Now, thanks to the extra bandwidth available in the 2.0spec, up to 60fps at 4K resolution is possible. This also allows you to view 144Hz at 1080p (1,920 x 1,080) through a HDMI 2.0 connection. A newer 1.3 and 1.4 version, that both have a maximum data rate of 25.92 Gbits/sec, are both becoming more widely available. With the increased bandwidth capabilities, it opens up the floodgates to higher resolutions such as 7,680 x 4,320 (8K).This USB port doesn't support DisplayPort or Thunderbolt or MHL. Plug the USB device into a different USB port on your PC. Your PC might not provide enough power to the USB device. Please connect your device to external power, or try using a different PC.

If you have a spare cable lying around, it might not be good enough, unfortunately, as most HDMI cables don’t tell you what version they are. If you’re looking to connect multiple displays to your computer, a DVI to USB-C adapter might be just what you need. These adapters are compatible with older devices that don’t have USB-C ports, and they allow you to extend or mirror your display across multiple monitors. But wait, did you really need this practical guide? Of course not, you could’ve just plugged in the adapter and figured it out on your own. But where’s the fun in that? You will likely find that your new Ultra HD/4K TV supports HDCP 2.2 on its HDMI port, but it’s not always for all of them. Some models will only support HDCP 2.2 for HDMI 1 and HDMI 2 inputs, so if you’re connecting a shiny new Ultra HD Blu-ray player, such as the Panasonic DMP-UB900 or Samsung UBD-K8500, make sure to use the correct HDMI input. A battery icon with a warning on it appears in the system tray to indicate that a slow charger is connected, and the battery is discharging. The Slow charger notification might appear too.

Under most circumstances, you can get away with using whichever cable you have lying around – and whatever works – but if you have more specific needs, such as carrying audio, displaying a higher resolution or outputting a higher refresh rate for gaming, you’ll need to be more discerning with your choice of cable.

The HDMI Alternate Mode lets you project video and play audio on an external display that supports HDMI. Most motherboards and dedicated graphics cards will have multiple outputs. You can use a combination of these to output to multiple monitors. So if you have HDMI and DVI outputs, connect one monitor using HDMI and the other using DVI. As mentioned above, if you’re using DisplayPort and your graphics card or device supports Multi-Stream Transport, you can daisy-chain DisplayPort and USB-C monitors, too. Your PC (or phone) has a low battery, so it has temporarily limited the amount of power it can provide to the device. Until HDMI 2.0 became a standard, DisplayPort had it beat when it came to high resolutions. DisplayPort 1.2 has long been able to carry 3,840 x 2,160-resolution video at 60fps (or a refresh rate of 60Hz) and is the most common DisplayPort specification on most consumer monitors and devices now. This has 17.28Gbits/sec of bandwidth.As for TVs, it all depends on whether they have a DVI input or not. If they do, then you’ll be able to connect your laptop and enjoy your content on a bigger screen. Just make sure you choose an adapter that’s suitable for both your laptop and TV models, and follow the instructions carefully to ensure optimal performance. What is the maximum resolution supported by the adapter? Another potential issue is cable connection. Make sure that both ends of the cable are securely plugged in – sometimes a loose connection can cause problems with display or audio output. If everything seems connected properly but you’re still experiencing issues, try using a different cable or port on your computer or monitor. USB Type-C: Newest audio, video, data and power connector. The best connection for laptops and mobile devices Other benefits of HDMI include functions such as HDMI-CEC (HDMI Consumer Electronics Control), which allows you to control numerous devices with one remote. For example, connect a soundbar to your television through an HDMI-CEC compatible port and the soundbar can turn on and off with your television and be controlled by a single remote.
