Supports both video and audio output." They don't sell a "HDMI to Thunderbolt 3" adapter.only one I see on their site is this third-party one which is very expensive and overkill).

And why would Apple sell such an adapter if it didn't work with projectors, which are VERY commonly used with their notebooks? In fact, the product page even says, "Requires an HDMI cable (sold separately) for connection to your TV or projector. Why would the Apple USB-C Digital AV Multiport Adapter work with my 4k (3840x2160) TV but not a WXGA (1280x800) projector? You'd think a 4k display device would require the higher standard. Interesting thought, but that raises other questions if true. However, if I connect the projector to my 2012 MBA using a VGA cable, the VGA-to-HDMI adapter, and the HDMI-to-TB2 adapter, I get a video signal. When I connect the projector to my MBA M1 using a VGA cable, the VGA-to-HDMI adapter, and the Apple USB-C Digital AV Multiport Adapter, I get no video signal. I have both a VGA-to-HDMI adapter (third party) and a HDMI-to-TB2 adapter (third party). multi-port adapters when hooking to a projector.ĮDIT: Here's another interesting experiment I just did. If I DON'T, then I would be wondering if it's an issue of single vs. I've just ordered this Anker USB C to HDMI Adapter and will report back if I have the same issue with it. a TV that would be causing this?įWIW, I'm also connecting to the same projector via VGA using the Apple USB-C VGA Multiport Adapter and it works flawlessly. Is there something unique to HDMI bus on a projector vs.
So the only thing I can think of is it's some sort of incompatibility with the HDMI bus on Epson projectors and the HDMI-to-USB-C adapter.
So you'd conclude it must be something wrong with the HDMI bus on the projector, right? No, because it works perfectly fine with both an Apple TV and my 2012 MBA using an HDMI to TB2 adapter. So this would indicate it's neither a faulty adapter nor faulty cable. It works perfectly fine with my 60" LG 4K TV using the same HDMI cables. I've also tried with another Epson projector with the same result. Consider something like the Anker 735 charger, which is about $60 like Apple’s and has 65W of total power output, but is smaller and has two USB-C ports and one USB-A port.I've tried restarting (projector and MBA) and using a different HDMI cable. But if you often find yourself with only 45 minutes to get as much charge as you can during a layover between flights, thistle 67W adapter might be the better choice.Įven so, we think there are better choices. The 67W adapter is really only a priority for those who are often in situations where they need to get a lot of juice quickly, and that’s honestly not often a concern with the awesome battery life of the MacBook Air. You can’t fast charge, but you have the flexibility to charge two devices slowly if you’re not in a hurry or one device at a perfectly reasonable speed if not.

We think the $20 upgrade cost is probably worth it–the 30W adapter is slower, bigger, and less flexible than the 35W model and much slower than the 67W model.īut the 35W Dual USB-C Port Power Adapter feels like the real winner here. The 67W USB-C Power Adapter costs the same as the 35W Dual USB-C Compact model: $59 if purchased separately, or $20 more if you upgrade the base model MacBoook Air. $59.00 at Apple | $59.00 at Best Buy Which is the best choice for you?
