single USB-C to HDMI? frustrated..

[ReL1988]

Hello all,

I am desperately looking for a basic, cheap usb-c to HDMI cable/dongle so i will be able to plug my monitor HDMI cable to the newly purchased Macbook Pro 2016 (non touch).

(If matters, i don't need 4k support)

I found several options, all of them were somewhat expensive or had bad reviews.
Cant be that finding such a simple converter/cable would be that difficult

All suggestions are gladly welcome!!
Thanks.
have a great weekend

How about this?
www.amazon.com/Club3D-Type-Active-Adapter-CAC-1504/dp/B016QO8186/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1486050174&sr=8-1&keywords=club+3d+usb-c+displayport+to+HDMI+2
It's designed to support 4k (if one needs it), but should work with lower resolutions, as well.

Disclaimer:
I have no experience with the above, but was researching Club 3d products for connecting a -2015- MBPro to a 4k tv...

thanks but i am afraid that 30$ is too expensive for me for this purpose.

I've tried a few third party ones including a MoKo one from Amazon - they've either not worked or emitted a high pitched buzzing noise. In the end had to suck it up and get the Apple one.
