- Source Device needs support DisplayPort Alternate Mode(DP Alt Mode) over USB-C, check with the manufacturer if you are not sure, many rather refer as "USB-C does output video" than specifically mentioning the technical term, that is okay and generally the implication of 'DP Alt Mode', listing here some common compatible devices:
��� All MacBooks with Thunderbolt 3 or USB-C
��� iPad "&12.9" with USB-C
��� Dell " 9350/9360, XPS 15" 9550
��� Alienw" 15" 17.3" with Thunderbolt 3
��� HP Spectre X360
��� ThinkPad T470 T480 X1-Carbon/Extreme
- USB-C in this adapter supposed to plug into the Source Device, i.e Laptops; while MiniDP to Monitors; it can Not be used the other way around, for example, try to convert Thunderbolt 3 or USB-C display to MiniDP by plug the USB-C onto monitors, i.e.
��� LG UltraFine 4K display
��� LG UltraFine 5K display
- Though MiniDP shares the same shape and appearance with Thunderbolt 1&2, however they have different signal protocols which can only allow signal flows on one way traffic from Thunderbolt 1&2 to MiniDP, Not in the other way around, in other words, this adapter won't work when paired with Thunderbolt 1&2 displays, such as:
��� Apple Thunderbolt Disp" released back to 2011 (A1407)���
���However is perfect for previous generation of this model which also mentioned in the begining-
��� Apple LED Cinema Disp"&24" (A1316, A1267)
- Tips For Apple Cinema HD display 30" owners Only (A1083): you may stack this item on 'Apple Mini DisplayPort to Dual Link DVI' adapter to get optimal resolution of QHD 2560x1600
- For PC user: you might need to preset "USB Type-C" as the video output option in some device's BIOS Configuration menu if screen doesn't auto show up
���Caution on Compatibility of Multi Adapter Stacking (Adapter on Adapter): Though lot of people found it works well when making multi stacking; for instance, stack this adapter with an existing MiniDP to VGA adapter for a VGA monitor; there are also quite good chance of Not able to get things worked out, despite both adapters are in the good working order when used standalone. The reason are often complicated and hard to determine exactly, in short, try to making Single conversion by just using One adapter as possible as you can; for example, instead of stack this item on a 'Mini DisplayPort to HDMI adapter' for HDMI monitor, you'd better off just go for a single USB-C to HDMI adapter; Multiple Conversion can't be guaranteed to works well on every single different hardware stacked
