Anker USB-C to HDMI Adapter

Likely something you've already been through - but which USB-C to HDMI adapter are you using? The Microsoft one is one of the better ones, but a little overpriced.

The adapter has to be 4K compatible. I bought this one from Anker for about $20 https://www.amazon.com/Anker-Adapter-Supports-Macbook-Chromebook/dp/B01MYUCWOK
Yes it works. I'm using this: https://www.amazon.de/Anker-Premium-Datenhub-Ethernet-ChromeBook/dp/B071G83L1J/ref=mp_s_a_1_6?keywords=Anker+usb+c+hdmi&qid=1563116902&s=gateway&sr=8-6
But something like this should work too: https://www.amazon.de/Anker-Aluminium-Unterst%C3%BCtzt-Konverter-Chromebook/dp/B01MYUCWOK
For HDMI I have one of these and it's great: https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B01MYUCWOK
For USB 3, I already owned a hub/ethernet dongle combo: https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00PC0J1VC
To make it work with USB-C I bought a USB A -> USB C converter: https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B01COOQIKU
All of these work fine and are considerably cheaper than the Apple alternatives. Anker seem to be a good company when it comes to dongles.
So this Anker USB-C -> HDMI adapter advertises 60hz 4k. My new MBP arrives on Friday so I'll get back about the actuality of that, but I'd be interested to hear your experience. Otherwise my main 4k panel has displayport and I got a USB-C -> MDP as well, so should be fine.

Works great for me, using at 4k 60hz.
the anker one works perfect
heres my review
Nice!
Not sure if it matters, but this is the dongle that‘s working flawlessly for me:

How can I see what color format (like RGB, YCbCr420, YCbCr422, YCbCr444) for my current resolution/refresh rate settings?
Background: I've got a MacBook Pro (2016) with the Radeon Pro 455 2GB. I've connected it to my Vizio 4K TV via this HDMI dongle. I want to find out the color format at 4K native resolution because I suspect chroma sub-sampling in action.
PS: AMD Radeon Settings is incredibly pointless at showing connection details. I see ads there instead of what refresh rate, x-y resolution, color format etc ... wtf?
I have this one and it works great at 4k60

What is the exact make and model of your cable? Most cheap and many not so cheap cables and docking stations will only support UHD at 30 Hz. I have an Anker USB-C to HDMI Adapter that works fine with my 9360: https://www.amazon.de/dp/B01MYUCWOK/

Sorry for the delay, I've tried so many I've lost count. When I check Amazon for Thunderbolt to DisplayPort usually it just says USB C and then Thunderbolt compatible. I posted here forever ago and was told the built in HDMI is 1.4 but if you go through USB C then it would be 2.0. My monitor has DisplayPort but my gaming PC connects to that so the other ports are all HDMI. I have tried DisplayPort adapters before also with no success but sounds like it might be due to HDMI. I just didn't want to have to manually switch the DisplayPort plug any time I change, but maybe that's the issue. Here's all the ones I tried without success on any:

Someone said it worked...
I don't use a hub, I use two USB-C adapters.

Displayport? No, HDMI to USB-C. So you can use an HDMI cable and USB-C adapter (say, if you already have an HDMI cable):
https://www.amazon.com/Anker-Aluminum-Portable-Supports-Chromebook/dp/B01MYUCWOK/ref=sr_1_3
Or the better option is just to use a USB-C to HDMI cable:
https://www.amazon.com/Anker-Convenient-Adapter-Samsung-MacBook/dp/B07DBZYM8C/ref=sr_1_4
You have this iMac, right? Same as mine. It connects via the USB-C (and the monitor has HDMI and some other stuff):

Have you used this specific USB-C to display port adapter with another computer and actually gotten 4K/60Hz out of it?
To get 4K/60Hz from USB-C you need very specific adapters like this one:

I've been very pleased with this one.
