Q. What type of HDMI adapter do I require?

Answer

To connect an external HDMI monitor to a laptop with a DisplayPort or Mini DisplayPort port, a user will need an appropriate adaptor. To connect an external HDMI monitor to a laptop with a USB-C connection, a user can use a multiport adaptor that features an HDMI video out. To transmit 4K video, a user will need a High-Speed HDMI cable that supports at least the HDMI 1.4 specification. If a user wants a 4K picture, a user will need a 4K-capable cable box or streaming provider, an HDMI cable, and a 4K-capable TV. However, a Standard HDMI cable manufactured before 2009 will not support a 4K HDR stream.
