This time, I would like to review the uniAccessories USB Type-C to HDMI Conversion Cable.
I thought this conversion cable was recommended for basic uses such as displaying a computer screen on a monitor or projector.
It displays up to 4K clearly and looks luxurious, so it is recommended for those who are looking for an affordable USB Type-C to HDMI conversion cable.

Review of the uniAccessories USB Type-C to HDMI Conversion Cable
Good! Luxurious metallic design
The exterior is made of aluminum and has the “uni” logo on it.
Mr.GadgetsIt has a metallic feel and looks quite cool.
It doesn’t feel cheap.
Ms.GadgetsIt uses a durable nylon material, so it seems to have good durability!
Output from PCs and smartphones!
As shown in the picture above, I was able to output from both a smartphone and a PC using the conversion adapter.
Ms.GadgetsMost devices have a USB Type-C port, so it can be used with a variety of devices!
However, the USB Type-C also has many types and specifications, and the source device (smartphone or PC) must support “DisplayPort Alternate Mode” or “Thunderbolt 3/4” in order to output video. Otherwise, video output will not be possible, so please be careful!
Mr.GadgetsSince this is a conversion adapter, it will not output even if you connect a device that does not support the video output standard, so please be careful.

Easy Connection by Simply Plugging In
No additional apps or drivers are required, and it can be used easily by simply plugging it into the port.
4K30Hz, Full HD 144Hz Output is Possible
The “uniAccessories USB Type-C to HDMI Conversion Cable” supports High Speed (HDMI 1.3～1.4).
Please refer to the table below for the HDMI version.
Mr.GadgetsThe version affects whether or not the performance of the connected device can be fully utilized.
| HDMI Version | FHD | WQHD | 4K | 8K | 10K |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Ultra High Speed (HDMI 2.1) | DSC compression required | ||||
| Premium High Speed (HDMI 2.0) | |||||
| High Speed (HDMI 1.3～1.4) |
| HDMI Version | FHD | WQHD | 4K | 8K |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Ultra High Speed (HDMI 2.1) | 240Hz | 240Hz | 144Hz | 60Hz |
| Premium High Speed (HDMI 2.0) | 240Hz | 144Hz | 60Hz | 30Hz |
| High Speed (HDMI 1.3～1.4) | 144Hz | 75Hz | 30Hz |
It can output up to 4K and there are no problems with basic use.
However, when gaming, you need to consider the refresh rate as well as the resolution. If you are using High Speed (HDMI 1.3～1.4), it may not be sufficient for some people.
Ms.GadgetsIf you are not gaming, it is generally sufficient, but those who play games may find it lacking.
Mr.GadgetsPS5 can output up to 4K120Hz, so you cannot take advantage of its performance with High Speed (HDMI 1.3～1.4).
Personally, I think you can enjoy FPS games fairly well with Full HD 144Hz on a relatively small monitor, but if you care about resolution and refresh rate, you should choose a higher version.
Ms.GadgetsWell, if you don’t play games and don’t care much about refresh rate, this is sufficient!
Summary
Recommended if not for gaming
This “uniAccessories USB Type-C to HDMI Conversion Cable” is a recommended conversion cable for basic uses such as displaying a computer screen on a monitor or projector.
It can output up to 4K clearly and there are not many problems with basic use, but the HDMI version is a bit old, so it is questionable whether it can fully utilize the performance of the latest computers.
However, it can output up to 4K clearly at this price point and looks luxurious, so it is recommended for those who are looking for an affordable USB Type-C to HDMI conversion cable.
Mr.GadgetsAlso, please check whether the USB Type-C of the output device supports video output before purchasing!
