Anker USB C to HDMI Adapter (8K@60Hz or 4K@144Hz), 518 USB-C Adapter (8K HDMI), USB C to HDMI, for MacBook Pro, MacBook Air, iPad Pro, Pixelbook, XPS, and More

Meets the high level spec. It works.

After buying four different cables and adapters that didn't work, I found this adapter, and I knew it would work since all my previous Anker products have worked like a charm. It works perfectly with DP 1.4 over USB-C at: 2560x1440, 120Hz, 4:4:4 or 3840x2160, 120Hz, 4:2:2 HDR also works. The only downside is the lack of G-Sync support.

I’ve used a number of USB-C to HDMI adapters over the years—from budget options to higher-end hubs—and the Anker 518 USB-C to HDMI Adapter (8K HDMI) is one of the more refined single-purpose adapters I’ve tested. The standout feature here is bandwidth capability. Support for up to 8K@60Hz or 4K@144Hz isn’t just marketing—it translates to noticeably smoother output when paired with a compatible monitor, especially in high refresh rate scenarios like gaming or fast UI work. On a 4K display running above 60Hz, the difference is immediately visible in cursor movement and overall fluidity. Setup is exactly what you’d expect from Anker: true plug-and-play. No drivers, no hiccups—just a stable connection whether mirroring or extending a display. In testing, signal consistency was solid with no flickering or dropouts, which is something I’ve encountered with lesser adapters. Build quality is also in line with Anker’s reputation. The housing feels durable without adding bulk, and the compact form factor makes it easy to keep in a laptop sleeve or travel bag. It’s clearly designed as a reliable everyday carry rather than a desk-bound accessory. Compatibility is broad, but worth noting: like all adapters in this category, it depends on your device supporting DisplayPort Alt Mode over USB-C. With compatible laptops and tablets, it works seamlessly across monitors, TVs, and projectors. If there’s a limitation, it’s that this is a focused, single-port adapter—no passthrough charging or additional ports. That’s not a flaw so much as a design choice, but users needing a full docking solution may want a hub instead. Overall, this is a high-performance, no-nonsense adapter that delivers exactly what it promises: stable, high-resolution output in a compact and reliable form. For anyone who values display quality and consistency over extra features, it’s an easy recommendation.

This allowed me to drive my LG OLED tv at 4k and 120hz. It required flashing some updated firmware but once that was complete I had no issues with that resolution on my tv. Great product !

Works but only after a third party firmware update. Using 16-inch MacBook Pro M1 2021 on Ventura 13.5 Had to use a windows computer to update firmware as outlined on macrumors website. Forum name is "DP/USB-C/Thunderbolt 3/4 to HDMI 2.1 4k@120hz RGB4:4:4 10b HDR with Apple Silicon M1/M2 now possible !". Before firmware flash, dongle would not keep a connection. I tried reaching out to support and had a back and forth with them, but Anker kept blaming the problem on my computer. Pretty frustrating experience. Maybe Anker can update their own firmware so the dongle will work out of box.

Great value for the money and impressive build quality. It has very fast transfer speeds and compatibility with HDMI. Very thankful to have purchased this item!

The first adapter I received didn't work and I left a review. After that, the anchor contacted me and offered a replacement or a full refund, I decided to try the replacement and it works as it should.

I can almost never say this about other products, but this is absolutely perfect! The build quality is solid, the chord is braided, and the performance is fabulous. Fast response, plug and play right out of the box. Used it on my Samsung phone to watch streams full-screen, and played games from my Steam Deck. I did try to use it on my laptop, but it turns out it doesn't support HDMI over USB. Still give this product maximum marks, since that's not the adapter's fault.

Handles only 60fps. Had better experience with CableMatters adapters (there are more compact ones as well)

This USB C to HDMI Adapter has been working for months on end, with extensive use. I carry it around in my backpack and admittedly, don't take the best care of it. However, it has NOT let me down at all and still works 'till this day! I don't review a lot of gadgets but I thought I would give this a big thumbs up.

Have experienced repeated momentary signal loss from a 2023 model Mac Studio to an Elgato HD60X Capture Card while using this product (and its lower spec predecessor). Video signal drops and then returns a second or two later. Problem does not occur when connected with HDMI directly, only with this adapter in between. All software up to date and all cables are nothing but the highest quality.
