For Standard Display Applications...

This converter works great for standard video conversion from DP to HDMI. If you plan to use this with a multi monitor setup where you have more display ports than HDMI, this will work just fine. I have found DP output to be awash, with black screens not exactly black, but I am pretty sure this is not an issue with this item. I use nVidia products...GTX 970's, GTX 980's, GTX 1070's, and an RTX 2080, so I have worked through most issues. However, if you plan to use this for a VR headset, like an HTC Vive (like I did), it will not work. I probably should have researched more about this, but the VR headset does not work at all through this converter. You need to connect VR headsets to the HDMI port directly. Perhaps others have had luck. I tried several video cards (above) and the VR headset does not work through this converter. Still though, it does standard display applications just fine.

So many - which to buy?

I needed to hook a desktop computer up to a new monitor (not TV, there is a difference), that like many these days only has a HDMI port. The computer only has a DisplayPort and VGA port and I obviously wouldn’t be using VGA. I read up on DisplayPort and while there are some significant differences between it and HDMI, but none of those differences mattered to me for computer monitor use. I also learned that there are three physically different types of HDMI connectors (Type A, B and C) and two different types of DisplayPort connectors. And I learned that a passive adapter cable is all that is necessary to convert from one to the other. Now the question was which one from the dozens of different models listed here? I already owned a very high quality HDMI cable and didn’t want to replace it so I opted for an adapter like shown here. To me they all look the same so I did the natural thing of choosing the one with the most number of user posts. It seems most are in agreement that this is the one to get. A plus is that I got it two days later. Sometimes I’ve waited a months for little adapters like this. It is very well made, rugged and solid. That’s a plus. And if course it works exactly as expected. The description didn’t show a close enough picture of the connector ends of the ends of the adapter to help me so I will, hope it helps you.

Great product with stellar after-sales support.

This adapter worked exactly as promised for four months (5 star) then it broke (minus two stars) but was quickly and courteously replaced by Benfei (plus two stars). Given all the other good reviews, I have to assume I simply suffered from the ill fortune of receiving a lemon. I really appreciate it when a company stands behind their product ... especially when it was a good value to start with and it performed exactly as specified.

Someone at Amazon actually reads these things, because I was mildly criticized for -- not being specific enough! I was mildly T.O.ed for a while, and then went on. I am quite articulate, but could think of not much to say about one 6 inch cable with two plugs. Dear Amazon Reader; The plug adapter worked, arrived on time, and was exactly as ordered. -Michael

QUITE DECENT QUALITY for the PRICE

In use for several weeks now, the cable is exactly as-described and arrived fast & in good condition. Functionality is great so far, with no image / video transmission issue noted in connecting an HP ProBook laptop to a standard HDMI cable to a Samsung 32" 1080p HD LED television for use as a monitor. Cable connectors (ends) & wire both look and feel a bit beefy, not weak. A pretty good value, especially when compared to the offerings at a nearby electronics store such as Best Buy.

It works

Does what it is supposed to do, I hooked it up from my desktop computer to my 32" LCD TV, the video resolution is 1920x1080 and the sound goes through it too.

BUYER BEWARE! - INELIGIBLE FOR RETURN!!!!

***UPDATE** - Excellent customer service! The company reached out to me and fixed my issue. To be clear, this adapter does not support ultra wide monitors, you'll need the 4K version for that. BUYER BEWARE! - INELIGIBLE FOR RETURN!!!! TERRIBLE ADAPTER! Does not support ultra wide resolutions and even strobes with terrible quality on normal resolution. Terrible produtct, terrible customer service. I would leave a ZERO if it were possible.

Had an old laptop and needed to convert the connector ... this works great. Seem to have read some quality issues from other posters, but this has felt solid and worked well through multiple plug and unplug operations.

Great solution to the ever changing monitor ports.

Perfect solution to some of today's computers which don't come with an HDMI port for the monitor. Though the DP is faster/better technology, there are a plethora of monitors on the market still, and combined with the many monitors people still own, this is almost a must have! Easy to use, simply plug in to the DP (Display Port) and then plug in your HDMI!

Worked as expected!

The review: The adapter seems to be made well. It was in a plastic bag rather than a box, but it did have a protective cap on the male DisplayPort end, and a plastic wrap on the housing of the HDMI end. It plugged in solidly, and I tested the release with no issues. I wonder if some of the people who had issues with it breaking off when trying to remove didn't realize that DP has an active retention mechanism that has to be depressed to remove. Seamlessly transferred both video to my TV and audio to my surround sound, as expected (or at least hoped). I always like to put my personal experience in my reviews too because I search questions and reviews for information, so I feel like this can help others: Active versus passive adapters: I'm using a Lenovo M83 Tiny PC as my home theater PC, which has a DisplayPort++ output. As others have stated, this is a passive adapter and MAY not work with your output unless it is labeled DP++. The DP++ stands for "DisplayPort Dual-Mode", and simply means that the port automatically recognizes if an HDMI or DVI adapter is attached, and sends the appropriate signals rather than the DP signals. Now it is important to realize that most modern DP ports are dual mode, whether the DP++ logo is present or not. As such, you should do the research before hand to find out if your device has a dual mode port, or risk finding out the hard way. Audio through adapter: My primary concern with this adapter was whether or not it would carry audio from the DP to the HDMI cable going into my surround sound receiver. To clarify, my setup is, PC Display Port > this adapter > HDMI cable > Receiver > HDMI cable > TV. When I initially booted the computer (first boot after installing Windows 10 Pro), Windows immediately displayed video on my TV, however no sound was playing on the surround sound speakers (I was clicking the Windows volume slider and listening for the "ding"). Through Control Panel (not the garbage Windows 10 Settings app, what was wrong with the Control Panel, Microsoft?!), I went into the Sounds options. Under playback devices, there was only one item listed, "Speakers". However, almost immediately while I was in the sound options, another device showed up with the name being the model number of my receiver. Windows automatically set it as the default device. I went ahead and disabled the other "Speakers" device just to be safe. After rebooting, all settings remained and sound continued to work properly. If you are using a surround sound receiver, you should also click on the playback device and select Configure. In here, I was able to specify that I have 5.1 surround, but there were also other options such as stereo and 7.1, so make sure you pick the right one. If you are running this directly into a TV, stereo is the default setting, which is what you want. It does send a test sound to each speaker individually, so I was able to verify that the 5.1 signal was actually making it through the adapter. Now whether this is an uncompressed PCM signal or some sort of compressed audio stream is yet to be determined; but this may depend on the source media/application that is providing the audio.
