If your external display is not working with the OntheGo Foldable Stand Hub (ST-GOTGFC), the most common reasons are a host device whose USB-C port does not support DisplayPort Alternate Mode (DP Alt Mode), a video adapter in the chain instead of a direct HDMI cable, or a thick tablet case keeping the host cable from seating. The HDMI 2.0 port on the OntheGo Foldable Stand Hub outputs video up to 4K at 60Hz, and the hub is plug-and-play with no drivers required.
How to fix display problems with the OntheGo Foldable Stand Hub
- Take the USB-C host cable out of the storage channel and unfold the OntheGo Foldable Stand Hub before connecting anything.
- Push the host cable fully into your device's USB-C port. The host cable is attached to the hub and cannot be replaced, so make sure it is seated rather than just resting in the port.
- Remove a very thick tablet case. Very thick cases can prevent the hub from seating properly on your device.
- Confirm your device's USB-C port supports DisplayPort Alternate Mode (DP Alt Mode). Your host device must support both USB-C Power Delivery (PD) and DP Alt Mode for full hub functionality, including HDMI video output.
- On a Windows PC, use a USB-C port that supports USB 3.2 Gen 2 or higher for full data and display performance.
- Use the HDMI port for video, not the USB-C data port. The USB-C data port on the OntheGo Foldable Stand Hub handles data only and does not support video output or charging.
- Connect your display with a direct HDMI to HDMI cable. HDMI adapters and converter cables may not work.
- Switch your monitor or TV to the HDMI input you actually plugged into.
- Detect the display on your host device. On a Mac, open System Settings and go to Displays. On Windows, open Settings, go to System, then Display, and select Detect.
- Try a different HDMI cable.
- Connect the display straight to your device without the hub to confirm the display and cable work.
- Disconnect the OntheGo Foldable Stand Hub, wait a few seconds, then reconnect it and check again.
- Set the right expectation on resolution. The HDMI 2.0 port outputs up to 4K at 60Hz on a compatible display and device.
