    "Not sure works with Google Chromecast TV or not"

    Will buy if it does but guess it won't - otherwise would state so.

      Yeah, unless somebody tested it.

    • rgovind on 31/12/2021 - 10:25

      Just wondering, what is the reason you would want it to work with Chromecast? add extra hubs for controllers??

      I found I had to buy a better power supply when I added a usb c hum to my chromecast. The original power supply struggled with the additional load, so if it doesn't work, consider that as well.

      • ihfree on 31/12/2021 - 10:42

        A hub and connected devices use power so a higher wattage adapter is required.

      • Associatedsuperforever @ Hefei Xiuwa Network Technology Co., Ltd. on 31/12/2021 - 10:45

        The original power supply struggled with the additional load

        What kind of additional load without an USB-C hub?

        • ode1online on 31/12/2021 - 10:54

          I found the Chromecast interface would slow down or even freeze, I was running a USB key for extra apps and a HDD and the ethernet port. I bought a higher rated PSU and it worked fine. Set it up for a friend.

              @Sheng: Not really some people reported OK with Google Chromecast TV power adaptor if the hub works

              • Sheng on 31/12/2021 - 11:26

                @superforever: If you using say a 64 GB usb that’s fine. But if you adding a HDD, Ethernet, Keyboard and mouse combo. That power draw is to much once you include the Chromecast it say as well.

                • Associatedsuperforever @ Hefei Xiuwa Network Technology Co., Ltd. on 31/12/2021 - 11:35

                  @Sheng: Of course if USB HDD

          All these hubs take some power to operate. Even if you don't plug in any device, it is not 100% passthrough (there are chips inside and they don't run on air). The more devices you intend to use, the more extra power it needs.

          Generally, you need a more powerful power supply (so for Macs, if your laptop uses 61W power supply, then try get a 87W power supply when you use the hub). It also depends on how much buffer the laptop maker designed it. However, for Chromecast TV, Google wouldn't provide so much extra power to cater for a hub.

          Another thing is that pretty much all of these hubs would reduce current level on every voltage and that means 5V will no longer be able to reach 3A via the passthrough (when I looked at the results via my USB-C meter on the USB-C hubs I have, they all have weird max current levels on 20V, 12V, 9V, and 5V - every voltage level basically). I am not a fan of the passthrough part of these hubs. Do you really trust feeding up to 87W on a $25.50 hub? I prefer to use another USB-C port for power delivery and connect straight to the original adapter (just use the hub on another USB-C port for data and video). Hopefully, with the re-introduction of magsafe from Apple, PC laptop makers will do similar (add another port dedicated for power).

  • NedStark102 on 31/12/2021 - 10:37

    Anyone have experience with this hub? Could be a good one to grab for WFH if there's not a 50% chance it will be busted on arrival.

    • edrooney on 31/12/2021 - 12:47

      Have purchased a couple of these Vava hubs during lockdown WFH for staff, no problems at all.

    This looks like it may be the Vava one. There's even a picture with Vava packaging. It's likely to be Chromecast compatible if it is.

    I reckon this one is probably a decent deal if 4k60hz isn't required.

        Received mine today, tested with Google Chromecast TV, ethernet, USB3 drive all good.

        Couldn't use the Google Chromecast TV power adapter (boot and beep about my charger) have to use my BlitzWolf BW-S16 75W PD charger

              @Sheng: Look for VAVA (or unbranded VAVA) have a higher chance may work.

  • Megametro on 31/12/2021 - 10:53

    Not sure if the 4K is legit. @netsurfer if you can comment that would be great.

    • ihfree on 31/12/2021 - 11:03

      4k30hz will be fine. It won't do 4k60hz which is generally what is complained about on many hub deals. If 4k60hz is required, it is worth doing your own research into whether the combination of device and hub(not this one) will work together.

  • Megametro on 31/12/2021 - 11:11

    Sorry, you’re right. 4K 30hz seems to be the case I’d there’s a usb additional port. I was referring to the 60hz output. Thanks.

    • netsurfer on 31/12/2021 - 11:32
      +1

      The chipset used in this is DP 1.2 based so 4K 30Hz is all you can get with this. It also explains why it is in this price range.

      If you only need to use it on a 2K monitor, then it should be fine. 4K…. personally, I am not a fan of 4K/30Hz, but if you only watch videos, then it is fine since most of the videos are 4K/24-30 anyway.

      • Megametro on 31/12/2021 - 11:48

        My work laptop only outputs 4K at 30hz and it’s pretty awful to work with. You’re very right though, for purely a media centre this might be fine

        • netsurfer on 31/12/2021 - 11:51

          Let me guess, laptop with Intel integrated graphics (probably 5th or 6th gen Intel CPU)? We are in this 4K/30 vs 4K/60 hub mess largely due to Intel.

          • Megametro on 31/12/2021 - 15:46

            @netsurfer: it's actually a 10th gen i7, Lenovo carbon x1. I think the problem is the integrated HD graphics chip. I have a feeling it's 620 when I last investigated

        • jmytch on 31/12/2021 - 13:30

          Your work laptop should be able to change resolution easily to 2560x1440 rather than using the 4K resolution then you would get 1440p at 60Hz. 1440p is still sharp enough below 4K

          • Megametro on 31/12/2021 - 14:01

            @jmytch: I’m outputting to a large screen and anything lower than 4K comes across a bit blurry

            • netsurfer on 31/12/2021 - 14:31

              @Megametro: It's due to hardware interpolation done by the display. LCD displays work best on their native resolutions. 4K monitors generally do a good job at 2K, but you can still tell.

  • jmytch on 31/12/2021 - 13:18

    Glad I waited until today, and now I've purchased this. Pretty good price, so I hope it works fine with MacBook Air that I want to connect HDMI to my monitor. What scares me is that it mentions 4K at 30 FPS however 1080p is at 60 Hz. If it accurate for 1080p at 60Hz then this is pretty bargain for USB-C Hub

  • UFO on 31/12/2021 - 16:54

    Not all "4K supported" is the same.

    This won't work with Foxtel UHD, Xbox at full 4k, or watching full 4K MKV rips.

    I've bought 2 Matrix's in the last 3 years. Both of them say "4K"… and both of them aren't full 4K, just this 30Hz rubbish.

    • ihfree on 31/12/2021 - 17:02

      4k refers to resolution. 4k is 4k regardless of refresh rate. Hz refers to the refresh rate - how many times the display redraws each second.

      Some cheaper hubs also don't support HDCP( digital restrictions management) which would prevent or limit streaming services from displaying content.
