Dynex™ - DisplayPort-to-HDMI Adapter - Black

My son needed to connect his HP laptop to tv for larger screen but his laptop only had one hdmi port so I connected this adapter to laptop in the vodeo display port and to it I connected hdmi to tv.

I purchased this as I have a computer that has one HDMI output and one DisplayPort output. I already have another computer hooked up to both of my monitors through DisplayPort, so I could only have my personal computer plugged into one monitor. By purchasing this, I can then plug the DisplayPort part of the adapter into the computer and then run a standard HDMI into my monitor, therefore having both my computers have access to the monitors without having to move wires around. I don't believe this is bi-directional, meaning I don't believe you can have a video source plugged into the HDMI input and then hooked up to a monitor via the DisplayPort plug on the adapter. It can only be set up with the HDMI being the wire going into the monitor/TV and the DisplayPort portion going into the video source.

I bought this because I ran out of HDMI ports in my external videocard which has more display ports than hdmi ports. My monitor is a 2560 x 1080 p (16:9) monitor and when i used this, the maximum resolution I get is only 1920 x 1080. Dont get me wrong, this works fine as long as your monitor has 1920 x 1080 resolution. For my requirement, i ended up buying an ACTIVE displayport - HDMI adapter which supports at least 4K of resolution. I kept this adapter for my other monitor. It's a keeper.

Had two short HDMI cables, but needed one long one. This worked perfectly. Cheaper than the long cable i needed, and now don't have 2 short cables I don't need sitting in storage. :)

Our 13 yr old called telling me he needed this, calling it by a name neither I nor my computer savvy husband ever heard b4. I went to Best Buy & they knew what he needed immediately, sold it to me for around $10 & it did the trick. Its still working so what is there to say? It works perfectly.

I bought this to use for my PC because my graphics cards HDMI port needed to be open for my game capture device. I bought a cord that has this already integrated with an HDMI cable on the other end, but I didn’t realize the keys on my PC was the problem. Are used one of those handheld rotating sanders to sand down some plastic near the DisplayPort connection. It finally worked after doing that modification

I was a little hesitant on getting an open box adapter even though it wouldn't make much difference. However, after plugging it in it works great! I had an issue with one of my monitors to my graphics card where there was only 1 HDMI port and 3 DisplayPorts. The monitor I've been using for awhile doesn't have a DisplayPort and the HDMI had been occupied. Really glad this works!

It works perfectly. I use it for my 2 and 1 tablet.
