Only have DisplayPort? No problem!
We bought this product specifically for a PC connection. It is stated that it will not work for consoles. That being said... It works flawlessly can handle the high performance from DisplayPort (gpu) to monitor or capture card. Currently, we're testing it out to utilize a dual capture card setup. Internal capture card for main streaming and external capture for discord and tiktok live. The connection is excellent and you can't beat plug and play devices. The video brightness and quality is 1:1. There is no lag in the connection speed and can handle 2k and 4k displays. It is very portable and removable. Highly recommended if you only have an HDMI connection for your monitor or TV if the PC is hooked up. ... show more

Perfect and exactly as advertised
I just bought a Lenovo 700 tower with an NVIDIA GeForce GTX 960 video card that, among others, has one HDMI output and one DisplayPort (DP) output and supports up to 4K resolution (actually 5120x3200). My two monitors each have a native resolution of 2560x1440 at 60Hz with HDMI, DP, and DVI-D inputs. I am using both of them together for an extended desktop at their native resolution (running Windows 10, BTW). Since the GTX 960 has an HDMI and a DP output, it was a no-brainer to use an HDMI cable to connect one of the monitors. For the second monitor, I could have just used a DP cable and called it a day; it would have been less expensive. I am not sure if I made the best choice or if it matters at all. Both HDMI and DP offer their respective video resolutions, with audio, and up to 60 frames per second (fps). I decided, for consistency and probably for no other reason, that I wanted both monitors to be connected via their HDMI inputs. Hence, my purchase of this DP to HDMI adapter. Only Active DP adapters can support higher resolutions than the 1080p (1920x1200) of passive adapters, which again is different than a straight DP cable, which supports full DP resolutions. There are a good number of active DP to HDMI adapters to choose from, and I would just make sure you read the specs VERY CAREFULLY to ensure you pick the one that accommodates your needs. The last thing you want is a 1080p adapter for a higher-definition monitor or TV, or one that does not support the refresh rate or frame rate you expect. I have had good prior experience with "Cable Matters," so I went with them. Installation could not have been any simpler. I plugged the DP end of the adapter into my graphics card and my HDMI cable from my second monitor into the other end of the adapter. My second monitor came on immediately as the extension of the first. No installation or configuration of any kind was needed. It is just as if I had used a regular DP cable, so the end result is exactly what I wanted. There are no downsides to this configuration, and unless the adapter fails for some reason, I am a happy camper. ... show more

A Solid Choice for an Adapter
I purchased this DisplayPort to HDMI adapter back in 2018, and it has performed exceptionally well for my portable monitor (used as a secondary monitor during gaming for btop). This adapter delivers solid and reliable performance for most of my display needs. Key Features I Tested: Resolution: It supports up to 2560x1600 without any issues. Refresh Rate: I was happy to find that it works flawlessly at 120Hz. HDR: Unfortunately, HDR is not supported at this resolution and refresh rate, but this limitation is understandable for an adapter of this type and age. And by not supported, I mean that you can select HDR but the screen goes completely wonky. Plugged straight in, HDMI-to-HDMI, HDR works how one would expect so it comes down to the adapter. Despite the lack of HDR support under those conditions, this adapter remains an excellent choice for secondary displays. It has been durable and dependable for years, and I highly recommend it for anyone with similar display requirements. If you don't care about HDR, consider this a 5-Star review. ... show more

"Active" makes all the difference
I was at my wits end. I had purchased an expensive artist drawing tablet which is a monitor that also functions as a drawing tablet. I knew my PC had a DVI, an HDMI and a DisplayPort, so I also purchased a cord that is HDMI to Displayport at the same time. The two arrived together, but when I went to hook it up my PC wasn't letting me activate all 3 at once. I spend days trying to figure it out. I thought it was a Windows 10 issue. But I also tried swapping the cords around, I tried unplugging the 3rd monitor, shutting the PC down, plugging it in while shut down, then restarting. I tried various methods to get to the old windows 7 looking display settings to see if that would work. I hit up forums and message boards seeing a lot of people having the same issue but no solutions being offered. The most common response that seemed to be the truth was that some graphics cards just can't support more than 2 monitors. I researched my graphics card and every place I looked said it could support up to 4 monitors (I wondered how, seeing as there are only 3 ports, but I digress). Then I saw one response saying you HAD to have a displayport adapter. So I bought one. What I didn't notice was the tiny little word "active" and I bought a passive one. When it STILL didn't work I was about to give up, or resign myself to just 2 monitors, or get a better graphics card. Then I finally found the answer on some random forum somewhere several pages into a google search that said in big caps letters: Must be an ACTIVE adapter" so I googled "active adapter" and found this. Ordered this, plugged it in. I was at first disappointed when my 3rd monitor didn't immediately respond, but I went to the display settings, selected the 3rd monitor, used the drop down to "extend to this display" and instead of showing the red text that my change couldn't be saved it WORKED! I am now the happy owner of a PC with 2 regular monitors and a 3rd pen tablet monitor. I'm probably dumb and a complete newb for not understanding what was needed at the start, but I feel like this little dongle saved my career! ... show more

Works like a champ
Active DisplayPort is what you need to keep your stupid television from displaying "NO SIGNAL" when your computer is most definitely outputting video! This adapter worked out of the box to connect my HP EliteDesk running Linux to my 4k TV.

Works as full 4:4:4 RGB adaptor for compatible TVs/monitors
I'm not sure why Amazon wanted me to rate "sheerness" or "thickness", but, um, both were ok. More importantly, this is an ACTIVE adaptor and so allows use of a 4:4:4 compatible TV/monitor with a DisplayPort graphics card. Current graphics cards typically have only one HDMI port. If you want to drive two HDMI monitors at 4K, this adaptor does the job. If you use a passive adaptor, you won't get full 4:4:4 color and computer text will likely be multicolored versus black. A passive adaptor won't work. As always with Cable Matters, it works and is reasonably priced. Note: most TVs don't support 4:4:4 color, so check the specs. And TVs that DO support 4:4:4 may do so only on one HDMI port and/or it must be set for "advanced HDMI" or similar. ... show more

Use Warrky DisplayPort to HDMI Cable Instead!
I purchased a HP Thunderbolt Dock and two monitors for a dual set up. Once I received the Dock, I discovered that the dock only provided DisplayPorts for the monitors which only had HDMI connections and accompanying cables. Therefore, I purchased two Cable Matters Display Port to HDMI Adapters. The adapters did not work properly. Every time I booted up my laptop, I was required to disconnect the HDMI cable from the adapter and then reconnect it to utilize the displays. I contacted Cable Matters and they claimed that it was my expensive hp dock which was the issue. Before I went down that rabbit trail, I decided to purchase Warrky's 4K DisplayPort to HDMI cables and see if the problem persisted. I also posted a question on Amazon and was answered by others who either had the same issue or worse. One reviewer told me that "at least yours works!" I then ordered the Warrky cables. I COULD NOT BE HAPPIER WITH THESE CABLES! Not only did Warrky's cables work wonderfully once implemented, but the braided cables are what one generally receives with the much more expensive offerings. They are very durable and eye catching. I work in the IT field and will recommend these cables to all of my customers. I am thrilled to be given such a product that works as designated, is high end, and sold at a very affordable price. ... show more
