So my macbook pro has a usb-c cable. I want to connect it to my tv using hdmi.

I've come across this product

However, I'm not sure if it's a punk. It's my understanding that I need an intermediate adaptor to connect to it to my tv. Whereas this product claims to directly connect my macbook pro to the TV. Am I missing something?

Answer 1

All MacBook Pro models with USB type C ports offer USB, Thunderbolt 3 and DisplayPort functionality through these ports.

The cable is not a direct connection. The USB Type C jack on the MacBook Pro operates in Alt mode to provide DisplayPort output. The cable has a builtin adaptor to convert from DisplayPort to HDMI.

An adaptor has a USB Type C plug on one end and a HDMI jack on the other end. You have to use a HDMI cable with plugs on both ends to reach the monitor.

What you have is a cable (with built in adapter). This cable has a USB Type C plug on one end and a HDMI plug on the other end. You can plug this cable into the monitor.

Answer 2

Yes, I have one (not that make specifically but another HDMI to USB-C) and it works fine with my MacBook. There’s no need for any other components along the way.
