With this good adapter I can use it right away without any problems.

Product works as described. I'm using this with my Macbook Pro Retina 15" with 750M discrete graphics card (Late 2013) and 4K monitor. I'm tired of going behind my monitor to switch cables between my desktop and my Macbook Pro. With this good one adapter I can easily use the same cable for my monitor. I have been using the product for two weeks and have had no problems.

Pros
  • Excellent design
Cons
  • Can be retrofitted

Valve Index to Laptop

I got this for a reason. I have a Valve Index and my laptop had a Mini so I couldn't connect my Index. With this thing it was solved without problems. I plugged in the Index, connected to 3.0 and was able to use VR on my Asus Chimera 1070. Has worked flawlessly. I think other reviewers got it for the same reason and some may have had issues. Not me. This can be random and laptop and/or machine related.

Pros
  • Easy Install
Cons
  • Mostly ok but...

Has a strange comparability issue

When using with a specific combination of Asus Gl502vsk laptop and Asus Pg27uq monitor I get no video signal on the monitor. In the middle if I use a DP to HDMI adapter it works fine but then I run into various HDMI limitations or if I use another mini DP to DP cable it works fine but when i use this adapter with this laptop and monitor i dont get video on this monitor but i do on others. Some weird compatibility issues in this particular scenario work fine.

Pros
  • Wow
Cons
  • old

excellent cable, connects HP Omen laptop to Valve Index VR headset.

I don't know if my video output is TB2 or Mini-DP 1.4, but this cable is labeled "TB2 and Mini-DP to Displayport" and works when I connect my Valve Index VR headset. to my HP Omen 17T laptop from CUK. My laptop has an internal NVIDIA RTX 2080 super mobile graphics card and it's the first mini DP to DP adapter that allows me to play VR games on my laptop. It (my laptop) heats up under load but gives me the ability to travel using my virtual reality skills.

Pros
  • Excellent Overall Performance
Cons
  • Quick Start Guide

It's incredibly worth it!

Bought to use an external gaming monitor for home work and gaming on my Macbook Pro 13" 2015. It looks like the HDMI port is on the MBP is actually a max refresh rate of 60Hz, my monitor can go up to 200Hz (Displayport) and around 140Hz (HDMI).So I knew something was limiting the refresh rate, most likely it was a laptop, any solid online literature that highlights this - I bought this to see if it would work.

Pros
  • Nice to use
Cons
  • Really don't like it, everything is fine

It's incredibly worth it!

Purchased to run an external gaming monitor for home work and gaming on my 2015 Macbook Pro 13" It appears that the HDMI port on the MBP is indeed rated at a maximum refresh rate of 60Hz running, my monitor can go up to 200Hz (Displayport) and around 140Hz (HDMI).So I knew something was limiting the refresh rate, most likely it was a laptop.Although there wasn't any reliable literature on the internet about it, I bought it to see if it works AND IT WORKED IT OUT Now I get 144Hz through the…

Pros
  • Electronics
Cons
  • Skimpy Instructions

I was looking for a DisplayPort to Mini DisplayPort adapter to connect my Valve Index to my laptop and it did works great for that. My Acer Predator Triton 500 laptop didn't have the DisplayPort required for the Valve Index, so I started looking for something that would allow them to work together. This adapter met my needs and I'm glad it's not as expensive as some of the alternatives. After I bought it, I heard that some other adapters didn't work for this purpose, so I was a bit concerned…

Pros
  • DVI to HDMI Adapter
Cons
  • alt

Initially I tried this as an adapter using a regular DP to DP cable to a mini DP to make DP cable. I knew the cable I used it with would work because I use it with another Dell laptop and docking station that has full-size DisplayPort connectors. I already had a mini DP to DP cable (also from Cable Matters) that also works with this Dell Latitude 3530 laptop and Dell U2713HM monitor (2560 x 1440 @ 60Hz), but it's very difficult , plug and unplug the cable. from the back of the monitor. I was…
