![]() So I’m very disappointed to report that HDMI cannot be trusted to work with the new Late-2016 MacBook Pro. HDMI is also the new common denominator for those of us who travel and use projectors. ![]() HDMI is everywhere, since most inexpensive monitors are just repurposed TV’s. ![]() And don’t count on 87W USB-C pass-through charging working with any adapter. TL DR: Stick to DisplayPort, which works great, and do not buy a USB-C HDMI adapter (even Apple’s own Digital AV Multiport Adapter) unless you know it works. ![]() And my experience matches that of many others. I picked out a set of cables and adapters for my 15″ MacBook Pro with Touch Bar and found that, although DisplayPort works flawlessly, HDMI was pretty flaky. This cheap $15 Monoprice adapter ought to extract native HDMI from the USB-C port, but it doesn’t workįirst, a bit of background: The “Thunderbolt 3” USB-C ports on the Late-2016 MacBook Pro computers support native “alternate mode” HDMI and DisplayPort video, in addition to USB 3.1 and Thunderbolt (PCIe) connections. I recommend sticking with DisplayPort until Apple resolves the issues. And although USB-C ought to support HDMI monitors just fine, I’ve found that it doesn’t work all that well with my 15″ MacBook Pro. The new MacBook Pro has USB-C ports for everything – power, I/O, and graphics.
