USB-C is the future of displays, and this $16 adapter will help you take full advantage of that technology. This adapter has a DisplayPort 1.2 connection, so you can use your current graphics card to connect to a USB-C display. Plus, it comes with a built-in power supply so you can power your display without having to worry about batteries.
USB Type-C can handle storage, video, audio, and other types of data, but sometimes you need the right adapter. A DisplayPort adapter from Cable Matters is now on sale, making it a perfect option for hooking up screens or VR headsets to a USB-C device.
The Cable Matters adapter is primarily useful for connecting laptops and other PCs to DisplayPort-compatible monitors, but it should also work with iPads that have USB-C ports (such as the new 10th-gen iPad), as well as Android devices that support DisplayPort (like most Samsung Galaxy phones and tablets). It’s also advertised as compatible with the Oculus Rift S, if the connected PC can handle DisplayPort 1.4.
