The big issue with the Microsoft Surface USB-C to HDMI adapter comes down to price.
#MAC HDMI ADAPTER SURFACE BOOK FULL#
Running UHD YouTube videos or content from Microsoft Movies & TV went without a hitch, with excellent color reproduction and full audio. The Microsoft Surface USB-C to HDMI adapter connected to my 4K OLED LG TV just fine with sound. While I still don't love the split-port setup, overall, running WMR on the Surface Book 2 with this adapter is great.
Combined with the power of the NVIDIA GTX 1060 video card on the Surface Book 2 15, the whole experience was outstanding. Scenes were crisp with no odd image pulsing.
I ran a Dell WMR headset, and the experience was fantastic. Luckily, the Microsoft Surface USB-C to HDMI adapter had no such problems. At the time, all I had was an HP USB-C to HDMI converter, but Microsoft assured me that it was likely the converter not the laptop causing the problem. That means the cable needs to split and have enough slack to hit both sides of the Surface Book 2, which is larger on the 15-inch model.Īdditionally, I experienced a flickering issue when I ran WMR with the Surface Book 2 at first. Placement is problematic, too, since the secondary USB-A plug needed for power delivery to the WMR headset is on the opposite side of the USB-C port. I expect to see that shift over the next few years with USB-C connections instead. Would a full HDMI port have been warranted? Probably not, but it would have helped since WMR headsets exclusively use HDMI adapters for the current generation. The reason for the claim was port choice and placement. During my review of the Surface Book 2, I noted that support for WMR seemed like an afterthought for Microsoft.
