Review on πŸ”Œ Cable Matters Active Mini DisplayPort to HDMI Adapter with Eyefinity Technology and 4K Resolution Support by Ken Desens

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Strange twinkling and intermittent black screen, doesn't sit well.

There were problems with the last order. Hooking it up to my projector got sparkling for lack of a better term, I've uploaded a video showing what I mean. At first I thought the problem was that my projector had too much gain. I also had intermittent black screens, it just seemed like the signal was going out every few seconds. I was willing to blame the projector or the cable, but taking this adapter out of the equation fixed both the twinkling and black screens. Also, I've bought a few of these for home and office use and I've noticed that they all don't fit well, especially on my Surface Pro. If I move the tablet just a little, the video signal is lost and I have to move or reconnect the cable. I have tested this on different surfaces as I have 3 of them and the same problem. It's fine when the tablet is present, but when I want to move it, this adapter becomes useless.

Pros
  • DVI-HDMI adapter
Cons
  • Crumpled
