Q: QuestionI’m having display issues (blanking off and on) with my dual monitors after I got a new surface pro. I have a hdmi fc display port best buy essentials. Do I need an updated cable connector? If so how do I know which one?

Asked 1 year ago by Surf.

• A:Answer It's possible that your current HDMI to DisplayPort cable isn't compatible with your new Surface Pro. - Check the Surface Pro's specifications: See if it has any specific requirements for DisplayPort cables (e.g., version, bandwidth). - Consider a certified cable: Look for cables certified by organizations like VESA or DisplayPort. These cables are guaranteed to meet specific performance standards. If you're still having issues: - Try a different DisplayPort cable: This will help isolate if the problem is with the cable itself. - Check your Surface Pro's drivers: Make sure your Surface Pro has the latest drivers installed. - Adjust display settings: Try adjusting the refresh rate and resolution settings for your monitors. If you're unsure which cable to choose, you can visit a Best Buy store for assistance. Our employees can help you find the right cable for your needs. - Mae | BestBuy Essential Support | https://www.bestbuy.com/site/brands/best-buy-brands/pcmcat1596746025285.c?id=pcmcat1596746025285

Asked 2 years ago by Curious.

• A:Answer Hi Curious! No, the Best Buy essentials™ DisplayPort cable is not compatible with USB ports, and therefore will not help you source volume from the projector.

Q: QuestionI just got a new acer monitor that runs at 165hz and only came with an HDMI 2.0 cable but not a DP one. Does it matter which one I use and is DP overall better for looks and gaming?

Asked 3 years ago by Aidan.

• A:Answer Hello, if you are using a video game console (XBOX X or PS5) then the HDMI cable will work fine. Game console resolution and aspect ratio capabilities are limited on those devices. If using a PC you would be able to take full advantage of your computers video card by using a display port. Moreover, if your monitor is an ULTRA WIDE and your video card supports FreeSync you will be able to take advantage of the higher Hz refresh rate and the custom aspect ratio. I recommend the native display port when using a Gaming PC unless your connecting it to a HD or 4k TV then use the HDMI.
