Connect my Surface Pro to the TV - USB - HDMI cable

Hello,

I would like to connect my Surface Pro 7 to my TV to transfer the display and sound from the computer to it... Knowing that there is no HDMI port on the Surface.

I tried using the wireless system, through Windows. It works, but the image quality is very poor... I think a wired connection would be better, arriving in HDMI on the TV.

I saw that there are USB-C to HDMI adapters that cost around 15 euros, available on shopping sites. Would that work? Do we get good quality, equivalent to a normal HDMI connection?

Thank you!

    Hello, I hope you are doing well.

    First of all, I wish you a Happy New Year 2024 :)

    You will have quality comparable to a direct HDMI connection. Most USB-C to HDMI adapters support resolutions up to 4K and transmit both image and sound.

    I found this adapter that should suit you and is compatible:
    https://www.amazon.fr/UGREEN-Adaptateur-Thunderbolt-DisplayPort-Compatible/dp/B0C4DC6P4H/ref=sr_1_1

    Indeed, it is quite expensive, but you are getting a reputable brand, and you can be sure it will last over time; you can already see the quality with the reviews. There are also vertical hubs available if you want more USB, HDMI ports, etc...

    I wish you a very pleasant day :)

    Thank you for your response!

    Happy New Year to you too.

    Well, that's fine then. I'll take a look at that. However, the adapter you found is not for HDMI, but for DisplayPort...

    Thank you!

      Thank you very much :)

      Oh dear, I'm really sorry, I don't know how I didn't pay attention…

      However, I found a dock, but the compatible surfaces are newer, but I don't see why it wouldn't work...

      I wish you an excellent day and sorry for the delay.
