WARNING EMPTOR: ONE WAY DISPLAY

I needed HDMI from my laptop to the display port on my monitor. I was in a stalemate and quickly found this option because Amazon puts their options at the top. I paid extra for same day delivery. This cable (as others describe in their articles) is only for one thing: a Displayport to HDMI. I had never heard of it before and paid the price for it. I write for reinforcement that this cable HDMI to Displayport does not work.

Pros
  • Wow
Cons
  • Communication with Seller

Unidirectional cable?!

After spending a lot of time with it and it doesn't work at all, I noticed that at the end of the product description it mentions that it is a unidirectional cable (video source, destination, HDMI) . I had to connect with opposite polarity. I had never heard of a unidirectional cable, so didn't even think to check it out. It should be MUCH clearer - visible in the element's name, for example.

Pros
  • Pretty packaging
Cons
  • I won't say anything

Beware of HDMI ONLY Displayport!

does the job. I bought this for my first computer build which is a hackintosh (a homemade computer running Mac OS instead of Apple's prebuilt one is about 3 times more expensive) and wanted to try a dual screen setup for my music station and it works as promised. Switched from displayport (output) to HDMI input, allowing me to use slightly cheaper TVs (via HDMI) instead of dedicated "computer monitors".

Pros
  • delivery was very fast
Cons
  • disappears

Excellent and useful cable

Bought a new computer with 2 HDMI ports. I was excited because I thought it would make it easier to set up my dual monitor setup. It was simple and worked great until I ran into an issue with Lightroom (photo editing). It turned out that one HDMI port was connected to my graphics card and the other HDMI port was connected to my processor (integrated graphics). Lightroom requires both monitors to work with the same card, so I needed a new solution. Since my graphics card had multiple DisplayPort

Only buy this cable if you need low resolution!

I bought this cable because Revain recommended it. My display was so bad. I contacted the GPU manufacturer to complain about how bad their video looks considering I paid $900 for their GPU. They recommended me to buy a new high quality cable, just like this one but better quality. I figured a cable is a cable, no big deal. boy was i wrong! When I received my new cable and plugged it in, WOW what a difference! So I sent this inexpensive cable back to Revain. It's garbage, don't get it. Get this…

Faulty cable or insufficient power.

I'm a retired computer scientist so I'm pretty good at hardware and software. I installed a refurbished Dell computer; bought a new mouse, keyboard, monitor and cable. This Displayport to HDMI cable was a new purchase from Revain. Shortly after installation I noticed that the monitor would flicker randomly for a second or two and then turn back on. The randomness and frequency of this blinking rendered the PC inoperable. I've reinstalled the latest graphics drivers, rolled back to previous…

Pros
  • good thing
Cons
  • I don't remember but something happened

It is well made and works.

In short, it's a cable. It looks well made and works, which is all you'd expect from a cable, hence the five stars. For context, I used this cable to replace a combination HDMI cable and DisplayPort to HDMI adapter. to connect my computer's DisplayPort video output to my LED monitor's HDMI input. I had intermittent issues with the monitor turning off or losing sync and startup delays during which Windows seemed to be looking for something that both seemed to be related to a key; So I decided to

RevainBasics DisplayPort to HDMI Cable - 15ft Updated: July 23, 2018 For Christmas 2017 I received a Chromecast as a gift. I was thrilled when I thought I could be done with this cable forever. Initially, I had trouble getting it to work reliably. But while I searched the internet for tips, it finally worked. But it's not reliable. The problem with Chromecast is that the image sometimes stutters, freezes frequently, or just freezes forever. - all the time the video is displayed correctly on my…

Pros
  • Solid construction
Cons
  • Damaged
