Compatibility Considerations
The Vention Type-C to DP Adapter requires your source device to support DisplayPort Alternate Mode over USB-C. Most business laptops and professional workstations manufactured after 2017 include this functionality. However, some budget Chromebooks and older Android devices may lack video output capability despite having USB-C ports.
For optimal 8K performance, both your source device and display must support DisplayPort 1.4 specifications. When connecting to 4K monitors at 60Hz, DisplayPort 1.2 compatibility is sufficient. The adapter supports adaptive sync technologies including FreeSync and G-Sync when your graphics card and monitor both include these features.
This adapter passes through audio signals embedded in the DisplayPort stream, allowing connection to monitors with integrated speakers. Additionally, the design supports daisy-chaining compatible DisplayPort monitors using MST (Multi-Stream Transport), though your source device must explicitly support this feature through its USB-C port.
