I have an old small form factor PC next to my big TV. Wireless keyboard and mouse on the couch. It doesn't have a DisplayPort. Of course, the TV has an HDMI input. I used an adapter but after 3 years it failed. I went with a cable and bypassed the adapter and this is the perfect solution. Business PCs often use DisplayPort on the PC and monitor. Home PCs use HDMI everywhere. So if you have a setup like mine with one each, this cable will solve your problem. When the devices are less than 3 feet apart. And understand that it's not such a place
