Review on TRIPP Lite DisplayPort to HDMI Cable Adapter, DP to HDMI (M/M), P582-006, 1080P, 6 ft., Black - Enhanced SEO by Justin Sharp

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Get this if you have a TV that you want to display the output of a modern computer on.

Actually there is no question or argument about it; Comfort is really important for people who have to stay at home for one reason or another. Many of us love computers. Some people think "Trust the Nerd" is important to make the life experience as tech-driven as possible. So the nerd quota is definitely met. This cable has a DisplayPort connector and an HDMI connector and is available in different lengths. This is the first DisplayPort connector I've seen that has a "latch" to secure it to the connector, in the form of a small piece of metal that retracts when you press and hold the part of the connector to remove it . . I don't find it incredibly necessary, but I'm glad it's there. I hooked it up from my GeForce RTX 2070 Super to my old Samsung F5500 series TV in 2013, which I installed with a Pipishell mount that I've reviewed elsewhere on Revain! If I select the appropriate HDMI port as the source and change my computer's configuration correctly, my computer's screen appears on the TV! And yes, the cable supports HDCP (High Definition Content Protection) protocol for display. Streaming services on your TV, so you SHOULD NOT rely on another device for such things, although your graphics card you are connecting to must also support HDCP. (I got it!) Now I'll tell you about a special utility I found that simplifies the setup above. It's called Monitor Profile Switcher and it's free and open source. Download it from Source Forge Dot Net. Now that this program is running, configure your monitors to your liking, select "Save Profile" in the program, give it a name and even assign it a hotkey. When you select a profile from the menu or press the assigned hotkey, your monitors will be automatically configured according to the configuration set previously. This utility was invaluable as it helped me realize the true potential of this cable. I will pass on the results of my quick research to you, my consumer friends. With this cable you can comfortably have fun and productive time on your computer! Thank you Triplight!
