Connect Modern USB-C Devices Directly to DisplayPort Monitors
Insert the USB-C connector into a compatible laptop, tablet, smartphone, handheld console or desktop computer. Connect the DisplayPort plug directly to a DisplayPort monitor, television or projector.
USB-C Input
Requires a USB-C, Thunderbolt 3 or Thunderbolt 4 source port with DisplayPort Alt Mode.
DisplayPort Output
Connects directly to a full-size DisplayPort input on a compatible monitor or display.
Audio and Video
Carries compatible digital video and source-to-display audio through the DisplayPort connection.
USB-C to DisplayPort Only — Not Bidirectional
The cable converts video from a USB-C source into DisplayPort for a monitor. It cannot connect a DisplayPort-output computer or graphics card to a USB-C monitor.
Correct Connection
- USB-C laptop, tablet, phone or computer
- UGREEN 25157 USB-C connector
- UGREEN 25157 DisplayPort connector
- DisplayPort monitor, projector or supported display
- Reverse DisplayPort-to-USB-C use is not supported
Up to 8K at 60Hz with Compatible DSC Equipment
DisplayPort 1.4 and Display Stream Compression can support an 8K workspace for compatible video editing, photography, professional applications and entertainment systems.
Up to 32.4Gbps Raw Link Bandwidth
DisplayPort 1.4 provides four high-speed lanes with a maximum raw link rate of 32.4Gbps. Its effective video payload is lower after signal encoding, which is why DSC may be necessary for the highest advertised combinations of resolution, colour depth and refresh rate.
8K@60Hz
Intended for compatible DP 1.4 and DSC-enabled professional or entertainment setups.
4K@240Hz
Requires a high-performance source, supported monitor and typically Display Stream Compression.
1440p@240Hz
Suitable for compatible high-refresh gaming monitors and graphics hardware.
Smooth Motion up to 4K@240Hz and 1440p@240Hz
Use the cable with a compatible gaming laptop, handheld PC or USB-C graphics output and a high-refresh DisplayPort monitor. Higher refresh rates can improve motion clarity and responsiveness in supported games.
Fast-Paced Games
High refresh rates can improve motion clarity in racing, action, esports and first-person games.
Competitive Monitors
Supports compatible 144Hz, 165Hz, 240Hz and other monitor modes within the available link bandwidth.
Ultrawide Displays
Suitable for supported ultrawide and super-ultrawide DisplayPort monitors, subject to source capability.
VRR, AMD FreeSync and NVIDIA G-SYNC Support
The DisplayPort connection can carry compatible variable-refresh-rate signals to help reduce visible tearing and stutter when the source GPU, operating system, application and monitor support the same adaptive-sync technology.
Adaptive Sync Requires
- A compatible AMD or NVIDIA graphics source
- USB-C DisplayPort output that carries adaptive sync
- A compatible FreeSync or G-SYNC monitor
- Correct graphics-driver and monitor settings
- A supported game or application
Compatible HDR for Brighter Highlights and Greater Contrast
The cable can carry supported HDR video from a compatible USB-C source to a DisplayPort monitor. HDR availability depends on the source hardware, operating system, application, content and display.
HDR Checklist
- HDR-capable source device and graphics hardware
- HDR-compatible DisplayPort monitor
- HDR content or supported application
- HDR enabled in the operating-system settings
- Compatible resolution, refresh rate and colour format
Mirror, Extend, Clamshell and Compatible Samsung DeX Modes
Choose the mode supported by the connected source device and operating system. The cable itself carries the display signal; the source determines how the external screen can be used.
Mirror Mode
Show the same presentation, application, video or image on the source and external monitor.
Extended Desktop
Use the DisplayPort monitor as an additional workspace for separate applications and windows.
Clamshell Mode
Use a compatible MacBook with its lid closed when external power, keyboard, mouse and macOS requirements are met.
Samsung DeX
Connect compatible Galaxy phones or tablets to a DisplayPort screen for supported desktop-style operation.
MST Daisy Chain
Compatible Windows sources and monitors may support multiple displays through a DisplayPort MST chain.
Single Display
Phones, tablets and some computers may be limited to one external display by their hardware or operating system.
Daisy Chaining Depends on the Source and Operating System
MST is not created by the cable alone. The USB-C source must support MST, and each display in the chain must provide the necessary DisplayPort input and output functions.
Platform Differences
- Compatible Windows systems may support independent MST displays.
- macOS generally does not support independent extended displays through MST.
- Apple devices may mirror the same image across an MST chain.
- Total bandwidth is shared among connected displays.
- Monitor and GPU documentation should be checked before purchase.
Connect the Cable Directly between the Source and Monitor
For the most reliable high-resolution and high-refresh performance, avoid inserting an additional dock, hub, converter, coupler or KVM between the USB-C source and DisplayPort monitor.
Additional Equipment May
- Reduce the maximum resolution or refresh rate
- Disable DSC, HDR or adaptive sync
- Cause intermittent blank screens
- Prevent monitor detection
- Introduce compatibility or handshake issues
For Compatible MacBook, iPad, iPhone, Galaxy, XPS, Surface and More
Compatibility requires a source port capable of DisplayPort video output. Maximum resolution and available display modes vary significantly between device models.
MacBook & Mac
Compatible MacBook Pro, MacBook Air, iMac and Mac mini models with USB-C or Thunderbolt display output.
iPad & iPhone
Compatible USB-C iPad and iPhone 15/16 models, operating at the display modes supported by the device.

Frequently Asked Questions
Important answers for customers buying the UGREEN 25157 USB-C to DisplayPort Cable.
What is UGREEN 25157 used for?
It connects a compatible USB-C, Thunderbolt 3 or Thunderbolt 4 source to a monitor or display with a full-size DisplayPort input.
Does every USB-C port support this cable?
No. The USB-C source port must support DisplayPort Alt Mode or compatible Thunderbolt video output.
Does it support 8K@60Hz?
Yes, when the source, graphics hardware and monitor support DisplayPort 1.4, the required bandwidth and Display Stream Compression.
Does it support 4K@240Hz?
It is listed for up to 4K@240Hz, but that mode requires a compatible source, monitor and typically DSC. Many devices will support a lower maximum refresh rate.
Can it connect a DisplayPort computer to a USB-C monitor?
No. Signal direction is USB-C source to DisplayPort display only.
Does it support HDR?
Yes, when the source, operating system, content and DisplayPort monitor all support compatible HDR output.
Does it support FreeSync or G-SYNC?
It can carry compatible adaptive-sync signals. The GPU, USB-C output, monitor, graphics driver and application must support the relevant technology.
Does it support sound?
Yes. It can transmit compatible digital audio from the USB-C source to speakers or audio output built into the DisplayPort monitor.
Does it support eARC?
No HDMI-style eARC function should be expected. This is a one-way DisplayPort display connection, not an HDMI audio-return connection.
Can it charge a laptop or phone?
No. The cable does not provide USB Power Delivery or charging.
Can it transfer USB files or connect peripherals?
No. It functions as a display cable and is not a general USB data cable.
Does it work with MacBook?
It works with compatible MacBook models offering USB-C or Thunderbolt display output. Maximum resolution and number of external monitors depend on the exact Mac model.
Does it work with iPhone 15 or iPhone 16?
Compatible USB-C iPhones can output video to supported DisplayPort displays, but their maximum resolution and refresh rate are determined by the phone rather than the cable.
Does MST daisy chaining work on Mac?
macOS generally does not support independent extended desktops through DisplayPort MST. Compatible Windows systems are more likely to support independent MST displays.
Can it be connected through a USB-C dock?
Direct connection is recommended. A dock, hub, KVM or additional adapter may reduce supported resolution or cause display-detection problems.
What is the warranty?
The page body states two years while the legacy specification field says 18 months. The applicable current UGREEN India warranty should be displayed consistently.
