Funnily enough, there was a post arguing about this not so long ago.
I know adapters exist, but for something like HDMI that I use quite regularly, I'll have a dedicated port thanks.
I tried using an HDMI adapter (the kind you is find on these tiny USB C hubs to bring along your laptop) for playing proper video and the sound was missing everything under like 200hz, unwatchable. It's clearly made to show spreadsheets and PowerPoints and not much else.
The output is capped at 4k 30hz on the cheaper ones, and I assume the cheaper ones wouldn't have particularly good audio.
HDMI still has the edge over all but the very latest version of USB C, at least with high end equipment. But, it works fine for PowerPoint, which is exactly what I'm using it for.
Hm. Might depend on the hub or cable type. I’m able to get 2560x1440 or (not and) 120hz refresh rate on my HDMI connection. And that limitation seems to come from my laptop GPU.
Framework is somehow both
They basically have the dongle built into the laptop, don't they?
Pretty much. A fun exercise tho is to pop them out and connect them to my phone when i need ethernet, for... reasons...
Fuck! How come I never thought of that???!!!!!
Which is a great approach IMO. The advantages of dongles without the inconvenience. The Framework 16 has 6 ports which is more than enough for me. I use two USB-C, two USB-A, headphone, and SD card. I sometimes swap the SD card slot for MicroSD, and one of the USB-C for Ethernet. I have HDMI and DisplayPort for if I need them.
Quick question: USB-C docks with HDMI have their iwn DAC for audio while video gets passed through?
doesn't hdmi send digital audio?
so you want like an adapter that can deliver audio separate from hdmi? like it has a hdmi port and a 3.5mm jack? i think i've seen stuff like that but i doubt you'd get a good dac in one of them.
USB-C supports both digital and analog audio. HDMI only supports digital audio though, so in that case the DAC would be in whatever device you're plugging the HDMI cable into.
