Product Overview

The BENFEI USB C to HDMI Adapter is a compact converter that lets you connect USB Type-C devices to HDMI displays. Manufactured by BENFEI (model 000318grey, ASIN B08KWG243P), it is sold and fulfilled by Amazon.co.jp.

Key Features

  • 4K@60Hz Output — Compliant with HDMI 2.0, supporting resolutions up to 3840×2160 at 60Hz for smooth, detailed video playback.

Compatibility Guide

Your source device must support USB Type-C DisplayPort Alt Mode or Thunderbolt 3/4. Charging-only USB-C ports will not output video. The display must have an HDMI input; for 4K@60Hz, the display should support HDMI 2.0 or higher.

Compatibility with game consoles (e.g., Nintendo Switch) is not officially guaranteed, though some USB-C video-output devices may work.

Ideal Use Cases

  • Laptop Users — Connect MacBook Air/Pro or Windows laptops to an external monitor for a dual-display setup.
  • Smartphone Users — Stream videos or show photos from iPhone 15 or Galaxy S23 to a TV or projector.
  • Business Presentations — Quickly connect to conference room projectors or monitors.

Upgrade Considerations

This adapter does not enhance video quality; it relies on the source device's output capabilities. It will not work with devices lacking DisplayPort Alt Mode support. The cable is approximately 15 cm long, so keep the source and display close. For longer distances, use an additional HDMI extension cable.
