UGREEN HDMI to USB-C Adapter Cable 2m CM773 – 4K 60Hz, HDMI In to USB-C Out (One-Way), USB-A Power Lead, Nylon Braided

The UGREEN HDMI to USB-C Adapter Cable (model CM773) runs in the direction most cables do not: HDMI goes in, USB-C comes out. It lets an HDMI source such as a PS5, a Nintendo Switch dock, a Steam Deck dock, an Xbox, a laptop or a Blu-ray player drive a screen that takes video over USB-C, such as a portable monitor, a USB-C monitor, a projector or an AR/XR headset, at up to 4K and 60Hz. An active converter inside the HDMI end does the work, powered through a separate USB-A lead, and the 2 m cable is wrapped in nylon braid with aluminium connector shells.

HDMI In, USB-C Out: Check the Direction First

Almost every cable sold as an HDMI and USB-C combination runs the other way: USB-C from a laptop or phone into an HDMI TV. The UGREEN HDMI to USB-C Adapter Cable is unidirectional in the opposite sense. You plug the HDMI end into the device that produces the picture and the USB-C end into the screen, and swapping the ends does not work.

So the question to ask before buying is simple: does my screen have a USB-C port that accepts video input? Portable monitors, many USB-C office monitors, some projectors and AR glasses do. The USB-C port on a phone or an ordinary laptop is normally a video output, not an input, so it will not show the picture.

Why the UGREEN HDMI to USB-C Adapter Cable Needs USB-A Power

HDMI and USB-C carry video in different ways, so the cable has to convert the signal actively, and that converter chip needs power. UGREEN supplies it through a separate USB-A lead, 1 m long, rated at 5 V and up to 1 A. Plug it into a USB port on the console, laptop or TV, or into any USB wall adapter.

That lead feeds the converter, not your monitor. At 5 V and 1 A it is not meant to run a portable monitor, so a monitor that needs external power should be powered from its own charger through its own port.

UGREEN HDMI to USB-C Adapter Cable Picture and Sound

UGREEN rates the CM773 at up to 4K at 60Hz, with HDR and HDCP 2.2 support under the HDMI 2.0 standard and up to 18Gbps of HDMI bandwidth. Its product imagery also lists 2K at 120Hz, which suits a high-refresh portable monitor fed by a console or a gaming laptop. The resolution you actually get depends on what the source sends and what the screen supports.

Audio travels with the video. UGREEN lists AC-3, LPCM, DTS and DSD formats, from stereo through 2.1 and 5.1 up to 7.1 channels, at up to 24-bit/192kHz. On most portable monitors that simply means sound comes out of the monitor’s speakers or headphone jack without an extra cable.

Build: Aluminium, Nylon Braid and 30,000 Bends

The connector shells are aluminium, the HDMI plug is nickel-plated, and the 2 m main cable is nylon braided. UGREEN quotes more than 30,000 bend tests from its own lab. The HDMI housing that holds the converter measures about 52 × 24 × 12 mm, so check there is room beside a crowded HDMI port on a TV box or a graphics card. The UGREEN HDMI to USB-C Adapter Cable is plug and play, with no driver to install.

UGREEN lists Windows, macOS and Linux as compatible systems, and the UGREEN HDMI to USB-C Adapter Cable supports both mirror and extended modes when the source is a computer: you can duplicate the laptop screen on a portable monitor, or use the monitor as a second desktop.

Who This Is Not For

If you want to connect a USB-C laptop, tablet or phone to an HDMI TV or monitor, this is the wrong cable; you need a USB-C to HDMI cable, which runs the other way. The UGREEN HDMI to USB-C Adapter Cable also will not turn a phone or an ordinary laptop USB-C port into a display.

It always needs the USB-A power lead connected, so plan for a free USB port or a small adapter. It tops out at 4K and 60Hz, so it is not the choice for 4K at 120Hz gaming, and the converter housing makes the HDMI end bulkier than a plain cable.

FAQ

Does the UGREEN HDMI to USB-C Adapter Cable work in both directions?

No. It is unidirectional: HDMI in from the source, USB-C out to the display.

Can I connect a PS5 to a portable monitor with it?

Yes, if the monitor accepts video over USB-C. Plug the HDMI end into the PS5, the USB-C end into the monitor and the USB-A lead into a USB power source.

Does it need external power?

Yes. The USB-A lead must be connected; UGREEN rates the input at 5 V, 1 A max.

What is the maximum resolution?

4K at 60Hz, according to UGREEN, with 2K at 120Hz also listed.

Will it connect a USB-C laptop to an HDMI TV?

No. That needs a USB-C to HDMI cable, which works in the opposite direction.
