Troubleshooting
No video output
Ensure the USB-C port on your device supports DisplayPort Alternate Mode. Verify that the HDMI cable is securely connected to both the adapter and the display. Confirm that your display is set to the correct HDMI input and supports the selected resolution/refresh rate.
Low resolution or refresh rate
Check that your host device and display both support the desired resolution (e.g., 8K 60Hz or 4K 144Hz) and HDMI 2.1. Update graphics drivers on your host device if necessary. Try a different, certified HDMI 2.1 cable.
Adapter becomes hot during use
This is normal during high-bandwidth operations. Ensure the included silicone thermal cover is attached. Avoid obstructing the adapter's ventilation. If overheating is excessive, disconnect and allow it to cool.
Flickering or unstable image
Try a different, high-quality HDMI 2.1 cable. Ensure the adapter and display are firmly connected. Test with a lower resolution or refresh rate to isolate the issue.
