Cable Matters Cable Matters Gold Plated DisplayPort to HDTV Cable 3 Feet

Excellent product for anyone who wants to connect a computer graphics card to a HD TV or monitor with HD quality, I had tried a HDMI cable but found got intermittent 1 second black screens & was later told off a t ech guy that the HD on PC graphics cards is often off sync with that of HD TV's & monitors which will cause this, so why they even put HD ports on the cards is beyond me, but if you have a display port on your card them problem solved with this cable, gives picture quality equal to that from the HDMI port & makes it stable so don't get black screens or any other problems & at the price its fantastic value

I wanted to watch on our fairly new TV with an HDMI input things that I downloaded using BBC IPlayer.from my fairly new laptop with a DP port. I bought this with some trepidation. It was quite expensive. However I have now used it five times and it just worked without any problem. The only configuration I needed to do was at the TV use the menu to select the HDMI port as the input. The laptop needed no configuration at all. I leave the HDMI end plugged in to the TV permanently and just put the DP port end into the laptop when required. At other times I protect the connector with the plastic cap it came with. I notice that the DP port end is very secure - you have to press a button on the connector to release it.

I have 2 TV's connected to PC. The 1st being HDMI to HDMI - the second only has HDMI ports, no VGA + AUX and my graphics card, as they all do only has 1 HDMI port, but also 1 Displayport. Wasn't sure how well this would work having read some nay-sayers stating they have problems with DP, or that it never transmitted audio. Don't know what whacked out planet they came from, as for me plugging this to my 2nd TV worked as plug and play, both audio and video worked straight away. Under sound manager I can choose what TV to transmit sound through, whether its DisplayPort one or HDMI one. Works as expected, excellent product, never again will I have to mess about with VGA resolutions and their lack of audio, forcing me to use AUX cables which always leave a humming feedback

Not entirely sure why anyone thought it was a good idea for my work HP laptop to come with a display port and no hdmi socket, but bingo this cable solves the issue. Identify it as a display port by the funny :D symbol next to the socket. Plug and play, connector connected solidly, plugs into hdmi at the other end on both an HDMI monitor and a TV. Unlike some of the other reviews never had a problem with the sound switching from the laptop to the monitor/tv.

Works for me.Plugged the displayport end into my old dell optiplex 760 and the hdmi into my Acer G246HLBBID 24 inch monitor.It worked straight away to 1920 x 1080 resolution.Tred some other resolutions and had black bars all the way round,i use 1280 x 720 as i sit 2 meteres away from the monitor and that resoultion is fine for my needs.Pleased with the cable as it works as it should.
