Review on πŸ”Œ Cable Matters Active DisplayPort to HDMI Adapter - Support for Eyefinity Technology and 4K Resolution by Keith Morris

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Snow is so retro! for computer cable adapter

Name. I have snow at 4k 60hz. Everything works fine for a few hours, and then out of nowhere I'm transported back to the glory days of the CRT. I actually have to disconnect and reconnect the cable to restore display output. The TV is a new model from Samsung and the GPU is a "high" 2070 so the obvious reason is the adapter, not to mention it just started with the adapter and I've had the rest since November. Better than a passive DisplayPort adapter that can't use the full RGB dynamic range (limited to the Ycbr420 range), but that's frustrating for a human. Edit: And now that the behavior has become, I can also say that when I wake up/turn off my computer from sleep, the DisplayPort should be unplugged and plugged back in - until I do that, my TV just says that none source was detected. To be honest, I'm actually where I am now. I was so pissed off that I started blaming NVidia for some - why is there only one HDMI port and 3 DisplayPort ports? I JUST NEED ONE MORE. ._.

Pros
  • HDMI DP adapter locking connector provides a secure connection with a release button that must be pressed before disconnection
Cons
  • Not bad, but...
