Unlike passive DP to HDMI adapters, this cable has an active chip that converts the DP signal to HDMI. I bought three of these to use on a Ryzen 3200G MSI board with DP and HDMI as the Dell 2719DM monitor only has HDMI HDR inputs. Other PCs are HP Elitedesk 705 G4 and Dell Optiplex 5070 Micro both of which have 3 DP ports. I've tried several DP-HDMI cables and converters. Some didn't work at all, while others could only output up to 1080p, leaving the image looking washed out due to the monitor being zoomed out. With this cable, Dell had a native resolution of 2560 x 1440. I also tried this on a Dell U3415W 4K monitor with no issues.
