Q: QuestionWill this work with a mini-HDMI monitor and HDMI laptop? Is it bidirectional?

Asked 8 months ago by NeedAdapter.

• A:Answer NeedAdapter, thank you for your question. Unfortunately, our Best Buy essentials 6' Mini DisplayPort to HDMI cable is designed to transmit a signal from a Mini DisplayPort output to an HDMI input. Therefore, it will work with an HDMI laptop outputting to a Mini-HDMI monitor. However, it is not bi-directional. It is designed for Mini DisplayPort to HDMI, not the other way around. To connect an HDMI laptop to a Mini-HDMI monitor, you would need a cable or adapter specifically designed for HDMI to Mini-HDMI conversion. If you have any other questions or need further assistance, feel free to ask! - Mae | BestBuy Essential Support

Q: QuestionWill this cable work with a Raspberry Pi 4 computer to monitor? Thank You.

Asked 10 months ago by RaspberryPi4.

• A:Answer The Best Buy essentials™ 6' Mini DisplayPort to HDMI Cable (Black) is not directly compatible with the Raspberry Pi 4, as the Raspberry Pi 4 uses micro HDMI ports for video output. This cable is designed for devices with a Mini DisplayPort, which the Raspberry Pi 4 does not have. For connecting a Raspberry Pi 4 to a monitor, you would need a micro HDMI to HDMI cable instead.
