You need one that can. Read more here: [USB-C DisplayPort alt mode](/drawtab/guides/pen-displays/usbc-dp-alt-mode.md) **Quality** There is no loss in video quality using this kind of adapter because it is completely digital. **What I use** On the high end, I've used this adapter from [CalDigit USB-C to HDMI 2.1 adapter](/drawtab/catalog/accessories/docks-and-hubs/caldigit/caldigit-usbc-to-hdmi-2.1-adapter.md) I've also had good luck with the "Amazon Basics Premium Aluminum USB-C to HDMI Cable Adapter (Thunderbolt 3 Compatible) 4K\@60Hz, 6-Foot, Black". Note that is an entire cable, not just an adapter. link: This comes in different lengths (6ft and 3ft) and different refresh rates (60Hz and 30Hz). Make sure you buy one long enough for your needs and get the 60Hz version.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter: ``` GET https://docs.sevenpens.com/drawtab/guides/pen-displays/hdmi-adapters/usbc-to-hdmi-adapters.md?ask=&goal= ``` `ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. `goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
