No they wont become obsolete, you have your tech mixed up.
We have connections like display port and thunderbolt that use a USB-C connection, but they are not regular USB interfaces.
This device is made specifically to allow converting a regular USB interface into another video output, it is literally an external graphics card connected by USB, not even close to what you are talking about which is only a means to use the already built in display outputs not add an additional one.

And even in the future when we have display port daisy chaining these still wont be obsolete because they will still serve the same function, to allow you to add an additional video output beyond what your computer supports currently, or adding a device that does not support the new features.

For everyone else: If you have never used something like this before, what to expect...
Some of them are plug and play for most operating systems, but you may need drivers ether for the best performance or because you have an odd chipset.

They work as indicated fine, the resolution and refresh rate, but what they don't advertise is the latency. So they wont work for gaming, video (because the sound will not be in sync) etc.

Where these excel is to setup an external capture to a capture device, or to add another functional monitor for productivity tasks, so great for office setups where basic entry level business machines may have limited display outputs and the user needs one more to use there normal monitor setup.

...it's an adapter for EXISTING monitors. Who cares what the future has, it's not going to change one bit for monitors in use today.

The listing confirms compatibility with DP Alt Mode and Thunderbolt-enabled devices, a feature supported by most modern phones and laptops.
Also has decent reviews, seemed to be authentic as its VINE customer reviews.

Not bad, but eventually these will become obsolete in the future.

The new trend is video out/in through USB C cables directly.

These can be handy in a travel bag with an HDMI cable to put a screen on a TV. Picked one up, unfortunately only good for 1 and not good on multiple orders

If both your device and monitor support usb c then obviously you wouldn't need this. So this random musing on industry trend is irrelevant on how good of a deal or product this is.

Also this is useful for hooking up to a TV and even new prototype TVs announced at 2025 CES don't have C for audiovisual. So people could hook up phone/tablet to a hotel TV when traveling that'll likely be the trend for years to come.

The future is now with tech. Unless you like spending a ton to stay ahead of the curve.

Why not get a USB-C dock with HDMI, PD, and USB-A.

Thanks for pointing out the latency issue. Do you know of an adapter with similar features but latency low enough to use for movies / video games?

Is the type-C side input, or the HDMI side input? Or no worry about it, both ways are OK? Thank you.

$1 more gets you the same thing but with USB ports and passthrough charging https://www.amazon.com/Sabrent-Mu...B08V3PHKR8, or if you can wait a few weeks I've seen it as cheap as $8
