usb-c to hdmi

[DZCALI Khan]

Hi guys just wondered if anyone else is having issues with hdmi output on note 8?

I bought a usb-c to hdmi cable from eBay (cheapest I could find) and it works for a while then cuts out saying video format not supported on the TV.

It's an 6 year old TV and cheap wire but I was wondering if anyone else has another fix other than spending £30 on the Samsung official adapter.

Thanks in advance

But I could not find it at Amazon UK. Perhaps one of the similar CHOE TECH models?

Recommend an adapter with a power plug in so your phone doesn't run out of juice while watching TV.

I've looked into that but I only watch one film at a time so not too worried about that.

Is ChoeTech quite a reliable brand then? I have charging cable from them which works very well

Yes, I love their products. Ok they ARE a Chinese company, BUT they make quality products. I have several, that cord, a dongle for my MacBook, AND a wireless charging pad. All have been flawless.

This is the one I use. I've binge watched both seasons of the Crown with it, it works great. The only issue I have is that I have to disconnect the adapter from the hdmi going to the TV one time before I get sound, each and every time I use it. But after that it plays for hours with a glitch. And it's 4k compatible.

That one looks ok, BUT 2 things, its a bit short and its an adapter requiring an HDMI cord also, some of the CHOE TECH options are cords themselves not requiring anything else.

I don't see the problem, I just leave it connected to the hdmi cable that's already attached to my TV. To each their own. I was trying to show other options. Use whatever works for you.

Definitely not a major issue. I'm sure I have an extra HDMI cord or 2 hanging around. Yes its also a good option.

The corded one would probably be best if you're on the go and don't feel like carrying an adapter and cable. But since I only use the adapter on the bedroom TV I just leave it plugged in with the hdmi 2 cable attached and as soon as my husband dozes off, I plug it in! Lol

so figured out its the TV not the cable. apparently the video format from the phone is not compatible with my old TV.

good excuse to buy another lol

I'm not understanding this: how does the cord connect to the TV without HDMI?

The product she listed was an adapter, it has a female HDMI end for you to insert your own HDMI cord, you plug your own HDMI cord I to the TV then in to the adapter THEN the other end of the adapter in to your phone or USB C laptop.
