I had to admit I didn't know that there was a (display) port until I got a new computer. My old one was at least 15yr old. Got the new cable and plugged in it. Works great and makes my new computer even greater. The pic messy but gets the job done. By the way I'll be 77 in a few months.

Got a new laptop and a suitable docking station to use at home with my 3 monitor setup. Although all 3 monitors had HDMI outputs available, the new docking station needed to have 2 of them hooked up via DP. These cables did the job well! Pic is of the monitor setup - a pic of the cables wouldn't be very interesting.

Super easy and just what I needed for dual monitors. Just plug one end into the desktop and the other into the second monitor. No set up needed, it automatically sets it up and turns on.

I acquired a computer that had a HDMI outlet and had a monitor that had a DisplayPort. Bought this adapter from Best Buy and Bam, it works perfect. I think there is an adapter for just about everything :-)

The Best Buy Essentials™ 6' DisplayPort to HDMI Cable promises to connect DisplayPort-equipped devices to HDMI-enabled monitors, TVs, and projectors efficiently. Here is an in-depth look at how this product stands up to everyday use.
Quality Construction: The cable feels sturdy and well-made, designed to withstand regular plugging and unplugging. The connectors fit securely, reducing the risk of disconnection due to movement or jostling.
Efficient Performance: It effectively transmits high-definition video and audio from computers and other sources to displays, supporting resolutions up to 1080p. This makes it ideal for presentations, gaming, and watching HD content.
Adequate Length: At 6 feet, the cable offers enough length to connect devices without being too cumbersome. This length is particularly useful for setups where devices are a moderate distance from the display equipment.
Affordability: Priced competitively, this cable is a budget-friendly option compared to many other brands, making it accessible for users who need a functional solution without a significant investment.
Cons:
Limited Resolution Support: While it supports 1080p, users looking to transmit Ultra HD or 4K content might find the cable lacking. It's not suited for newer technologies that demand higher bandwidth and resolution.
No Advanced Features: The cable lacks additional features like Ethernet channel or audio return channel, which are available in some higher-end HDMI cables.
Compatibility Issues: Some users might experience compatibility issues depending on the age and model of their DisplayPort and HDMI devices. It’s crucial to check device specifications to ensure compatibility before purchase.
In summary, the Best Buy Essentials™ 6' DisplayPort to HDMI Cable is an excellent choice for users who need a straightforward, no-frills option for connecting their DisplayPort devices to HDMI-compatible displays. It offers solid performance for HD video and sound transmission, although it falls short for those requiring higher resolutions or advanced HDMI features. Given its affordability and overall reliability, it's a worthwhile investment for everyday use, provided it meets your specific resolution and feature requirements.

A solid basic unidirectional DP to HDMI cable

Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.
This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.
Be aware that it's unidirectional (i.e., the source has to be displayport and the output has to be HDMI). Got this to quickly replace a buggy/bad DP to VGA cable and it's a great replacement and has been working fine.

Needed a set of these for my work office so I could run a dual-monitor setup on a newer Dell laptop hub (thanks for wasting my money, my corporate overlords on the old hard dock station and going with this new one that needs special cables).
Oh, and thanks to my local BB store which HID these behind a service counter to push the more expensive versions on the sales floor.

It's a cable! And it works!
Tip: If your graphics card has one displayport output and one or more HDMI outputs and you are connecting two or more monitors, then set up the monitor connected to the displayport first. Turn on the computer and check that everything works. Then connect the monitor(s) which are using the HDMI output. Do not connect all the monitors up at the same time. Especially true for AMD Radeon cards.
