2.2 Set the correct input source.
Most HDMI monitors or TVs have different input ports, you should choose the correct input source. For example, your TV has three HDMI ports 1, 2, 3, when you connected HDMI 1, you should choose HDMI 1 as the input source with the remote control. When you were connecting your projector, please be more patient, since projector’s respond speed is lower than monitor, you can also use a HDMI monitor to make a comparison test.
2.3 Make the connection stable, secure, and tighten.
You had better not move your laptop or phone when the HDMI monitor has worked. If you had to move your laptop and phone, and your HDMI monitor did not work then, just feel free to disconnect the adapter, and relog it and have a try, then keep the connection stable.
2.4 Set the correct resolution settings.
Our cable supports 4K@30Hz, but if it didn’t work, you can reduce your external monitor or TV’s resolution to 1080P or lower resolution to check if it works or not. -
It does not work for Nintendo Switch.
Yes, our USB-C to HDMI Cable is NOT compatible with Nintendo Switch. -
