I have always had a great experience buying Cable Matters products

I have always had a great experience buying Cable Matters products. These were no exceptions. The DP to HDMI adapters are $30 at my local big box store so I was looking for something quality that wasn't so counterintuitive, they were perfect. Use them for 3 Nvidia surround monitors behind a GTX1060 (see image) and as you can see they work great. I highly recommend them!

Pros
  • A great selection of
Cons
  • old

That does not work. ACTIVE DisplayPort adapter required

My PC uses 3 displays. I replaced my current wires which were a bit busted and the video came and went while the wires shook. The wire chain looks like this; Display - VGA to DVI - DVI to DisplayPort - PC. I've replaced this setup with the updated cabling as follows: VGA to HDMI - HDMI to DisplayPort. This product froze my startup 2 times and then I had the blue screen disabled and everything worked fine. I think I need an ACTIVE DisplayPort adapter.

Pros
  • Good to use
Cons
  • Miscellaneous Miscellaneous

This purchase was a waste of money for me as I either want to read the FAQ more closely or learn more. carefully in my research. I tried connecting my Dell monitor (DisplayPort) to Mac (HDMI) and PC (HDMI) but neither worked. After reading the Q&A extensively, I found out why it didn't work because the cable is unidirectional and only supports DISPLAYPORT to HDMI. It can be a good product if your scenario fits the design of the product. The 1 star rating is just a warning.

Pros
  • Nice packaging
Cons
  • Some little things

Works well with medium sized flat screen TVs but can't handle 60+. I'm not sure if this is due to brand incompatibility or set size, as I haven't been able to thoroughly test sets that don't work (sound cuts out randomly, leading me to believe the converter is simply does not meet the requirements Some 55" TVs do not work, while 1 60" unit works fine. Both tests with 65" TVs failed. If this unit works well, it does an excellent job with sound and video quality, but if this fails, the audio isโ€ฆ

Very tight fit is good for computer accessories and peripherals

Does the job, only problem is I bought 3 pack when you start plugging them into the graphics card the width of the plastic around the connectors will bind. This puts pressure on the connectors and can damage your graphics card or the adapters themselves. I think you can shave the sides 16 inches on each side and they'll be fine, but why would you? Perhaps not enough research was done when they were developed? Who knows. My graphics card is an AMD Radeon RX-580 and it has 3 DP and 1 HDMI. Toโ€ฆ

  • Good stuff

It works great on my desk stand under my desk

I bought this product with hesitation as many bad reviews on similar products said the clamp was too tight/too loose/broken etc e.g. B. My graphics card has an HDMI connection and a display port. I already had a monitor with HDMI and my monitors don't have Displayport so I needed this little adapter. I haven't had any problems with this product so far. I've had it in the back of my desktop tower under my desk for a month and it's worked great. UPDATE: 11/30/2012 Still working without problemsโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Few competitors
Cons
  • unreliable

Sound should come through too, but check the sound control panel

I bought a 5 year old laptop with DisplayPort as the multimedia interface but I needed it to keep me busy with our media project of work to be able to connect via HDMI. It took some research to find out the similarities and differences between the two standards. In many ways, DisplayPort appears to be the more reliable standard, but has been largely overshadowed by HDMI's ubiquity in home media products. My main concern was whether this adapter would be able to carry audio along with the videoโ€ฆ

Pros
  • DVI to HDMI adapter
Cons
  • No instructions

Not working anymore - but GREAT customer service!

- Update 11/24/2018: After I reformatted my PC and installed the new Windows 10, my computer kept freezing and the monitor went black with random color errors. . The culprit seemed to be that adapter, because when I connected my TV to my computer, it didn't happen until then. After much searching, I found that the NVidia driver, which was installed by default with Windows updates, was to blame. If you're having trouble with this adapter, before blaming the hardware, make sure your system hasโ€ฆ

Cable Matters DisplayPort Male to HDMI Female Adapter Cable

I have purchased several of these DisplayPort to HDMI cable adapters for various servers and laptops that I have. Since all of these computers only come with DisplayPorts and not HDMI, they are essential for connecting to HDTVs and monitors. I have DisplayPort to HDMI adapters from Bytek, Cobol, SYBA and a few other manufacturers. These adapters from Cable Matters are as good as the best. Retractable latches are located at the end of the display port to secure it in the port. This is a goodโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Computers and Accessories
Cons
  • High Price
