Cable Matters HDMI to DisplayPort Adapter (HDMI to DP Adapter) with 4K Video Resolution Support

I'd give this more stars if it actually worked... But it did not work for me, the only reason why I got is because I need a KVM switch connection... Few people chimed in that they were successful at connecting it. However, I did not have that luck...Update...I ended up another brand new DP cable. For whatever reason it does not like the cable I purchased... I think cable should be included from this company for this price... Even if it's 3' cable.

I got this to use with a KVM and it works. (Most other HDMI to DP converted say they don't work with KVM.) I needed a newer DP cord with it, the DP cords I've had for years did not work with it.

I have two PCs hooked up to a new, 2K monitor. This is one of the cheapest 2560x1440 monitors you can buy... the BenQ gw2765ht. The monitor works best with DisplayPort connections. I tried using HDMI with my Windows PCs and it works, but the brightness and contrast are wacky. Light greys on white (as in menu highlights) are absolutely invisible. So what I'm saying is that my monitor demands a DisplayPort connection.So I bought a KVM switch that uses DisplayPort exclusively. My gaming PC has a DisplayPort connection, so that's fine. But my desktop does not because it is a tiny micro form factor Alienware machine. It only has HDMI in the back. The answer was this beauty of a cable.It turns an HDMI port into a DisplayPort and it works flawlessly. I plugged it into my Alienware and then plugged my KVM DisplayPort cable into it and BOOM... it works absolutely perfectly. The image on the monitor is crystal clear and pixel perfect. There is no indication that any sort of signal translation is occurring or anything like that. It just works.It is quite expensive as a small little cable, but dang it works exactly as I was hoping.

This review is for the HDMI to Displayport adapter. This thing is awesome!! Keep in mind I've only had it for like 2 days. Surprisingly it works for a 1080p 144Hz monitor and allows it to run at 144Hz with 4:4:4 color. I believe this means the HDMI input is actually an HDMI 2.0 I tested and it IS HDCP compliant. I have not had any trouble with it so far. Literally connect and go. It is completely independent of the software, so you could use this to connect an HDMI Blu-ray player to a Displayport monitor. It does require 5V power from a USB port or wall adapter (not included). Tempted to buy another in case this one goes out or I need another somewhere else. Highly recommend!!!UPDATE: For my computer the adapter runs on the HDMI power alone, no need to connect to a USB port, but ymmv. I've been using this in conjunction with an HDMI switch for a week or two and sometimes when switching back an forth between PCs, I'll have to power cycle the monitor to get a picture back. This may be an issue with the one specific Windows 10 PC, since it only happens with that one computer. Also, it does not work with the Monoprice 2x1 Displayport switch. I'm guessing it is an issue with this converter, but not sure as each product works when used by itself, just not together.

I run with two KVM's to support 4 Monitors. I have a work laptop and I am using multiple USB to DVI to HDMI adapters along with the HDMI port on the laptop. My PC has 3 Display ports and 1 HDMI connection.Previously everything was running through HDMI KVM's, but the best frame rate I could get was 75 since that was the limitation of the KVM's. I bought a new Display port KVM to get the frame rates my video card could produce and I couldn't get it to work with my laptops connections. Turns out that HDMI to Display Port cables are unidirectional and would not work. I bought two of these adapters to (hopefully) run my two primary monitors that I am using through fast display port for my home PC and they worked...mostly.My 27 inch monitor worked perfectly once I gave these adapters enough USB power. Without strong power, I was getting blackouts and strange blue lines. Connecting it to a strong USB power source fixed that. I have a 35 inch display that natively is at 3440x1440. My home PC that is display port through all connections works fine. My laptop when running through the other adapter cannot display that resolution properly. It shows that as 2560x1440 and has dead space on the top and bottom of the display. Good enough. It is working and I can live with that one being a little bit off since I have full display port to these two Monitors on my home PC. Overall these worked great with this KVM and I am back to working with all of my displays.

This adapter is perfect for linking a DP monitor to an HDMI PC output. I recently bought a 4K gaming monitor with two HDMI and one DP input. I knew that because one of my PCs didn't have a 4K graphics card, but rather a QHD one, I could use the DP input if I could just connect that PC to the monitor. I discovered the "Cable Matters HDMI to Display Port Adapter" after some research. It was simple to connect, and now I have a free HDMI input for a true 4K device. I'm not using the adapter passively, but rather with the USB power cord. As a result, I can't say whether it would work without the USB power cord. (I didn't even try it because I wanted to make sure I had the best signal.) The image looks great, and I'm getting the most out of my QHD graphics card. I would recommend it to others with a similar need.

This was excellent. It provided the needed power for an HDMI to DP connection using a KVM with 4 DP inputs/outputs for 2 PC and 2 monitors. One PC-Laptop with docking station and 2 DP outputs, one mini PC with one HDMI, one DP port for video= worked beautifully!

Worked great for 2 months and then stopped working. The blue light is still on, but the monitor receives no signal. The monitor still works, just the adapter isn't working.
