USB-C to HDMI adapters

Requirements on USB-C port

Not all USB-C ports carry a video signal. You need one that can. Read more here: USB-C DisplayPort alt mode

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

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: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B083KV1BR3

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.
