This DisplayPort to HDMI cable connects to your computer’s DisplayPort to extend or mirror your screen to an HDMI-compatible display, such as a TV or monitor. This cable can only support DisplayPort to HDMI connection, it cannot work with HDMI to DisplayPort connection. The corrosion-resistant cable transmits reliable video signals at resolutions up to 4K, allowing you to watch movies, videos and more. A 6 ft. length provides the right reach to position your devices.
A: No, this only transmits from DP to HDMI, not the other way around. I am having this issue as well and will be returning this product.
A: It should - I use it to connect my HP dock (DP) to my second LG monitor (HDMI). My other monitor is connected via the only HDMI port on the dock. I believe the HP dock is a G2.
Q: will this cable be able to connect the RTX 2080 Super Display Port 1.4 to HDMI 2.1 for 4K @120hz
A: No, this cable does not support 4K@120Hz.
Q: Is this considered an active adapter
A: Thank you for your inquiry! The Insignia™ 6' DisplayPort to HDMI Cable is typically considered a passive adapter. Passive adapters rely on the source device (in this case, the DisplayPort) to provide the necessary signal conversion to HDMI. Active adapters, on the other hand, have built-in electronics to convert the signal independently, which can be useful for longer cable runs or when connecting to devices that do not support dual-mode DisplayPort (DP++). If you need an active adapter for specific compatibility or performance reasons, you might want to look for one that explicitly states it is active in the product description.

Q: Will this cable support a HDMI 2.1 input?
A: Thank you for your inquiry! The Insignia™ - 6' DisplayPort to HDMI Cable does not support HDMI 2.1 input. It is typically designed to support HDMI 1.4 or HDMI 2.0, which means it can handle up to 4K resolution at 60Hz. HDMI 2.1, which supports higher bandwidth for features such as 8K resolution at 60Hz and 4K at 120Hz, requires a specific HDMI 2.1 cable. If you need HDMI 2.1 support, you would need to look for a cable explicitly labeled as HDMI 2.1.

Q: I need an hdmi from cable box to DisplayPort on Samsung tv. Will this work!
A: Yes, when I purchased my new PC I had no idea how to connect my monitor to the unit, I stopped at my local Best Buy and took in a picture of the back of the tower and he immediately recognized the display port and found the correct cable for me. This was the answer and works perfectly.
A: It would come out of the TV since the Display port also carries audio and video just like HDMI offers. Dina | Insignia Support | https://www.insigniaproducts.com/contact-us
Q: How many Hz does this cable support at 1080p?
A: This cable supports 1080p @ 120Hz.
