I use Belkin USB-C to HDMI + Charge Adapter connected to my Macbook pro m1 and my display monitor, and It is quite warm (I can hold it for more than one minute though) but it is warmer when I watched Netflix or Youtube. I am afraid that it will cause damage to MacBook's mainboard.
Is it normal to be warm and warmer in that case?
Do I need to change to Apple USB-C Digital AV Multiport Adapter?
MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 13.1
That appears to be an HDMI and Analog VGA display, ONLY. you have no alternative interfaces.
any adapter than can do the job WILL get hot in use. It is NOT due to malfunction. HDMI uses higher Voltages (5 Volts) than DisplayPort, which uses closer to 3 Volts.

Hi,
I think it's a good idea that you change to Apple adapter, since it's more simple connection, though it's getting warmer your MacBook Pro when you are watching Netflix or Youtube since it's a little bit heavy task.
HDMI was invented for consumer TV sets. its use at high resolutions seems like it has a certain amount of black magic involved. It uses higher voltages than DisplayPort or USB or Thunderbolt connections with the same resolutions.
HDMI WILL generate more heat. All these adapters will get hot. Even higher performance models are available, and those can get hot enough to burn your skin in use.
What display make&model are you connecting? you might be better served using a different INTERFACE.
So if I change to Apple USB-C Digital AV Multiport Adapter, it still gets warmer when I am watching Netflix and youtube?
I use a Mi monitor 1C 1080p sometimes when I need a bigger display for work and entertainment.
if this setup is doing the job for you, I suggest you just make sure to allow maximum airflow around the adapter and keep using it.
Modern electronics can operate at 60 degrees C (140 Fahrenheit) all day every day with no impact on performance. That temperature WILL burn your skin.
Oh, I can see that.
This monitor is the only one I have. It is my brother's old monitor.
Thank you so much 😃
