Review on πŸ”Œ 6FT 4K@60Hz USB C to HDMI 2.0 Cable, CableCreation Type C to HDMI Cord for MacBook Pro 2020, MacBook Air, ChromeBook Pixel, iPad Pro 2020 2018, Surface Book 2, Galaxy S20/S10, LG V30 by Ryan Gilliam

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Doesn't offer 4K 60P as promised, display detection is unreliable and only 30P at 4K

displayed but never recognized as a Thunderbolt 3 device and not reliably recognized as a USB-C device. The display's bandwidth appeared to be limited to 4K at 30P with no HDR, although both the laptop and display support 4K at 60P with HDR. When the laptop or external display went to sleep, it was often necessary to unplug and plug the cable back in to allow the laptop and display to recognize each other again. In a live presentation or video conference, that would be a disaster. Regularly disconnecting and reconnecting cables also wears out the Thunderbolt 3 and USB-C ports. It's better to use a more cumbersome and expensive solution that actually works every time. This cable has been replaced with a true Thunderbolt 3 hub with two 4K 60P HDR HDMI video ports. Although this solution is more cumbersome, it is reliable and more functional.
