I need an HDMI adapter for my Early 2015 MacBook Air with a female Thunderbolt 2 port. I do not see a Thunderbolt 2 male to Thunderbolt 3 female adapter so that I can use the latest HDMI adapter. Any suggestions?
MacBook Air (13-inch, Early 2015), iOS 11.0.3, Thunderbolt 2
Thunderbolt 3 to Thunderbolt 2 adapters only pass Thunderbolt signals (PCIe and DisplayPort streams). Therefore a Thunderbolt device on the other end is required to convert it back to DisplayPort.
Many DisplayPort to HDMI adapters do not support HDMI 2.0. If the product description doesn't say HDMI 2.0 or 4K 60 Hz, then ignore it (even if it does support 4K 60 Hz, you should ignore the product if the manufacturer can't properly describe the specifications).
club-3d and plugable.com have DisplayPort to HDMI 2.0 adapters.
You may need to also buy a mini DisplayPort (male) to DisplayPort (female) adapter, if the HDMI adapter uses a DisplayPort (male) connector.

This one from the Apple Store says it supports 4K: Belkin 4K Mini DisplayPort to HDMI Adapter - Apple
or you can get one which goes straight from Mini-DisplayPort to HDMI cable, also 4K: Belkin 4K Mini DisplayPort to HDMI Cable (2 m/6.5 ft.) - Apple
or a longer one: Belkin 4K Mini DisplayPort to HDMI Cable (4 m/13 ft.) - Apple
Hi,
Isn't something like this what you want? https://www.amazon.com/AmazonBasics-Mini-DisplayPort-Thunderbolt-Adapter/dp/B00N H13K8S
Where does Thunderbolt 3 and "the latest HDMI adapter" come in?
