Review on Monoprice 102689 Female Adapter Plated by Denise Smith

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Works great, BUT you have to know.

Well made, works great with my Epson (InFocus) X2 projector. But you need to understand a few things before using any of them. First, none of the ports support HDCP; is the connection between connected devices. Most projectors old enough to require this port are also too old to work with HDCP. Second, no port supports resolutions that devices cannot support; again between connected devices. My X2 supports 1080i but not 1080p. Interestingly, when I plug in my BD player (Samsung BD-F5700) and set the resolution to 1080i, it doesn't seem to care about HDCP and plays BDs and DVDs fine at 1080i. Brilliant! When I hooked it up to my PC's HDMI out on an NVidia GTX750ti, it looked great too! Finally, understand that while HDMI supports audio and video, DVI never, and the M1 connector is an enhanced DVI connection. to also support a USB connection. Therefore you need to process the audio directly at the source as it does not enter the projector via the M1 connector. Having said that, I am very grateful that someone is making these adapters and cables for older devices and at such a great price. Excellent work!

Pros
  • Well made
Cons
