Very strange. Taken delivery of some new USB-C cables. But they don't work with HDMI.
My USB-C port supports HDMI.
My USB-C dock supports HDMI.
A different brand of cable carries video from laptop->dock->monitor.
These new cables carry data, they max out my broadband (330MBps), they do PowerDelivery.
But not video!
Is this a problem with the cable itself, or something else? Any way to test them?
