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

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Use a Warrky DisplayPort to HDMI cable instead!

I purchased an HP Thunderbolt Dock and two monitors for a dual configuration. When I got the dock, I found that the dock only offers DisplayPort connectors for monitors that only have HDMI connectors and the cables that come with them. So I bought two Cable Matters Displayport to HDMI adapters. The adapters did not work properly. Every time I booted up my laptop, I had to unplug the HDMI cable from the adapter and then plug it back in to use the displays. I contacted Cable Matters and they said my expensive HP dock was the problem. Before I went down that rabbit trail, I decided to buy Warrky 4K DisplayPort to HDMI cable and see if the problem persists. I also posted a question on Revain and was answered by others who had the same issue or worse. One reviewer told me "at least yours works!" Then I ordered Warrky cables. I CANNOT BE SATISFIED WITH THESE CABLES! Not only have Warrky cables worked great since they were first introduced, but braided cables are something you typically get with much more expensive offerings. They are very durable and attractive. I work in the information technology industry and would recommend these cables to all my customers. I am very happy to receive such a product that works as described, is of high quality and is sold at a very affordable price.
