All I want is a simple USB-C adapter with these ports:
A USB 2.0 port (or two) so that I can connect my wired mouse and keyboard
A HDMI 2.1 port that supports 4K 120Hz
A USB-C pass-through port charge the phone.
Modern Android smartphones will go into a PC-like desktop mode when they detect that an external monitor is connected (complete with a taskbar, and apps running in a window, just like a PC). Therefore I want to do that with my phone so that I can have something that resembles a desktop PC until I find the time to fix my rig.
The problem is that I can find no such adaptor. They all revert to 30Hz at resolutions above 2560x1440. I’ve been told that a workaround is to get a simple USB-C to DP adapter, then a HDMI to DP adapter, then just use a BT mouse and KB. I don’t want to invest in a new mouse and keyboard just for that, plus converting the signal to DP means I’ll lose ARC and then my home theater speakers won’t work, forcing me to use Bluetooth for audio as well. I don’t want to go investing in bunch of Bluetooth crap just for a temporary fix. All I need is a simple adapter that just works with my existing equipment.
