FAQs
What is DisplayPort Alternate Mode (DP Alt Mode)?
DisplayPort Alternate Mode (DP Alt Mode) is a feature of the USB Type-C standard that allows a USB-C port to carry a native DisplayPort video signal. This adapter requires your computer's USB-C port to support DP Alt Mode to function.
Can this adapter be used with any USB Type-C port?
No, this adapter requires the USB Type-C port on your computer to support DisplayPort Alternate Mode. Please check your computer's specifications to confirm compatibility.
What is the maximum resolution and refresh rate supported?
The adapter supports video resolutions up to 7680x4320@60Hz (8K) and 3840x2160@144Hz (4K). The actual performance depends on your computer's capabilities and the connected display.
Does this adapter require external power?
No, the adapter is powered by the USB bus, meaning it draws power directly from the USB Type-C port on your computer. No external power adapter is needed.
Can I connect this to a Thunderbolt 3 or Thunderbolt 4 port?
Yes, Thunderbolt 3 and Thunderbolt 4 ports are designed to be compatible with DisplayPort Alternate Mode and will work with this adapter, provided they also support DP Alt Mode.
What is the warranty period for this product?
This Lindy adapter comes with a 2-year warranty.
How do I ensure I get HDR output?
To enable HDR, ensure that your computer is set to output HDR, your connected DisplayPort monitor is HDR-capable and configured for HDR, and the video content you are viewing supports HDR.
Troubleshooting
No video signal detected on the monitor.
Ensure the USB-C port on your computer supports DisplayPort Alternate Mode. Verify that the DisplayPort cable is securely connected to both the adapter and the monitor. Try a different USB-C port on your computer if available. Check your computer's display settings to ensure the external monitor is recognized and enabled.
Lower resolution or refresh rate than expected.
Confirm that your computer's graphics card and operating system support the desired resolution and refresh rate. Ensure all drivers, especially graphics drivers, are up to date. Verify the monitor itself supports the chosen settings.
Flickering or unstable video output.
Check for loose cable connections. Ensure the USB-C port on your computer is providing stable power. Try connecting to a different USB-C port or a different display to rule out hardware issues. Update graphics drivers on your computer.
Audio is not working.
Verify that audio output is set to the DisplayPort display in your computer's sound settings. Ensure your display has built-in speakers or an audio output device connected. Check the adapter and cable connections.
