  • QuestionWill this show Netflix on my S10 to LG tv and charge at the same time

    Asked by ryan.

    • Answer Student uses this for home school. The TV can reflect whatever is on the Chromebook (including Netflix) or can be set to be a second screen (i.e. Chrome book can have Zoom Meeting and TV can have school work or vice versa). You can also play Netflix from your computer on TV and do work on your computer screen.

  • QuestionCan cable be used to cast streaming services like Netflix from my Galaxy S21 Ultra phone to a 2012 HD TV with HDMI input? TV is not 4K nor does it have HDR. If so, will it only use my phone mobile data or will my mobile hotspot data be used to do this?

    Asked by Jonathan2.

    • Answer Hi Jonathan2, The simplest option is a USB-C to HDMI adapter(Opens in a new window). If your phone has a USB-C port, you can plug this adapter into your phone, and then plug an HDMI cable into the adapter to connect to the TV. Your phone will need to support HDMI Alt Mode, which allows mobile devices to output video. Best Buy Products Lisa https://www.bestbuy.com

  • QuestionWill this work from an HDMI on laptop to type c docking station to have multiple screens?

    Asked by JustAsking.

    • Answer There is a tag on the cord that says, 'directional, plug this end (USB-C) into source'. It was meant to go from a PC's USB-C to a monitor's HDMI. I suspect plugging the HDMI into the PC won't work.

  • QuestionI have a laptop with an HDMI port and a monitor with ONLY a USB-C input port. Will this cable work for that?

    Asked by Maxwell.

    • Answer Hi there! Thank you for your inquiry. Unfortunately, a standard USB-C to HDMI cable won't work in this scenario. While the cable can transmit video and audio signals from a device with a USB-C port (like a laptop) to a display with an HDMI port, it cannot transmit signals from an HDMI port to a USB-C port. To connect your laptop with an HDMI port to a monitor with only a USB-C input port, you'll need a USB-C to HDMI adapter. This adapter will convert the HDMI signal from your laptop to a USB-C signal that your monitor can understand. Please ensure that your monitor's USB-C port supports DisplayPort Alternate Mode (DP Alt Mode) to guarantee compatibility with the adapter. If you have any questions or need further assistance, please don't hesitate to reach out. - Mae | BestBuy Essential Support | https://www.bestbuy.com/site/brands/best-buy-brands/pcmcat1596746025285.c?id=pcmcat1596746025285

  • QuestionWhat is the transfer rate in Gbps?

    Asked by BobtheBuilder.

    • Answer Hi there! The Best Buy essential- 6’ USB-C to HDMI Cable can transmit data at up to 10 Gbps using USB 3.11. However, it’s essential to note that the speed of this cable pertains to data transfer, not video transmission. For transmitting audio and video signals, HDMI cables are more relevant. If you need higher video bandwidth, consider an HDMI 2.1 cable, which supports up to 48 Gbps for 8K video. |Angelica| Best Buy Essentials Supports| https://www.bestbuy.com/site/best-buy-essentials-6-usb-c-to-hdmi-cable-black/6458563.p?skuId=6458563

  • QuestionWill this work for my iPhone 12 on my Element TV?

    Asked by Jennnaay.

    • Answer Hi Jennnaay! Thank you for inquiring about our Best Buy essentials™ - 6' USB-C to HDMI Cable - Black. Unfortunately, this cable is incompatible with your Iphone 12 as you will need to have Lightning to HDMI cable instead of USB-C to HDMI cable. I would also suggest checking your tv if it supports screen mirroring. I hope this helps you know more about this product. If you need further assistance, you can contact us at 1-800-457-7777.
