Review on ๐Ÿ”Œ StarTech.com DisplayPort to HDMI Adapter - Convert DP to HDMI - 1080p - VESA Certified - Passive Latching DP Connector by Jermaine Krishnamoorthy

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Works as expected

I have a Dell Latitude E6510 with DisplayPort. Apparently, many business projectors, depending on their age, have DisplayPort but no HDMI. As a business laptop, the Latitude has a DisplayPort connection for compatibility with more projectors. I don't use it with a projector, but I like to connect it to an HDTV, so I need a way to convert DisplayPort to HDMI. I previously purchased a DisplayPort to HDMI cable. It worked for a while but eventually stopped connecting to audio. The picture is displayed fine, but the Windows 7 audio control panel showed that Nvidia HDMI audio is not connected. I connected an HDMI cable to my TV for my other (with HDMI) laptop and camera, so I got this cheap adapter and not a brand new DisplayPort to HDMI cable. While it works perfectly, so does the sound, and if it fades, only the adapter needs to be replaced and not the entire cable.

Pros
  • Computer cable adapter
Cons
  • Ugly packaging
