Unidirectional DisplayPort to HDMI Cable, DP to HDMI, 3ft

UPDATE: My original review is below. I've increased my rating to 5-Stars because of the stellar customer service exhibited by Cable Matters. Although I did have an issue, as I said in my original review, I was unsure if the product itself was at fault. Cable Matters contacted me soon after my review offering to replace the product at no charge. When I accepted the offer, they shipped a new cable immediately. Since I had damaged the original cable, I did what I'd normally NOT do and attempted to damage the replacement cable in the same way as the original cable. I found the cable ends to be VERY solidly built and able to withstand substantial lateral pressure without the slightest movement within the housing. The cable has worked flawlessly for over a month since I received the replacement. This is the kind of service that gains my respect and loyalty in a product. ANY product can be damaged or defective. Having once been involved in quality control in an earlier profession, I can say that without reservation. It's how the company responds to the damage or defect that speaks to its integrity. I will be buying cables from Cable Matters in the future without the slightest concern about the quality of the product or the integrity of the company! - Paul ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I have little to say about this product. I plugged it into an HDMI port on the side of a TV Screen, then leaned around it to plug the DP end into a computer. When I moved back, the HDMI end was damaged beyond repair. It was obvious I somehow put pressure on the plug or cord causing the damage. For what it's worth, I didn't feel any pressure so I'm thinking it didn't take much to cause the damage. Note: Previous Cable Matters products have been of good quality and reliable.

This DisplayPort Cable was received in perfect, brand new condition as advertised. Cable has a heavy, high quality casing and the connectors are solid. I'm very pleased with the price (~ $15) and this product will last a long time. Usage I've connected two different Dell Laptops (Precision M6400 and Lattitude E6410) to my Samsung TV. In both cases, the TV display immediately mirrored the laptop screen's display. Just had to do a bit of work to get the audio to go through the DisplayPort Cable to the TV instead of my laptop speakers. Since I figured it out (took 2 mins), I'll share: Windows 7: I only had to right click the volume control at the bottom right and select "Playback Devices". From there, I changed the Default device from "Speakers" to "Digital Audio (S/PDIF)" ... and back to speakers once I unplugged. Performance: Video is sharp. You may need to adjust your TV settings to ensure the video doesn't run off the edge of the TV. Because it is digital, the Audio sounds much better going through the DisplayPort Cable into the TV and from the TV to my Receiver using HDMI than it did going through the laptop headphone port to Left/Right RCA jacks into the Receiver. Not surprising, but very noticable. iTunes never sounded so good! Anyhow - Buy it, you won't be disappointed.

Awesome Product Great Seller.

NOVEMBER 2015 UPDATE: I gave Cable Master one more shot and not regret it at all. My first cable was Gold plated version and it's absolutely crap one. You can read review on it below this post. In short version - bad picture and no way to get a sound out of computer to TV. Then I decided to try DisplayPort 1.2 to HDTV Cable Supporting 4K 10 Feet and it works like a charm. Don't even have to touch GC or audio settings - seconds after it was connected to TV I got clear and sharp picture and sound. Would love to get 15ft instead of 10 just in a case, but then you click on 15ft version it switched to crappy "Golden Plated" one. Will keep looking for a longer one. Pros: works right out of box, clear and sharp picture AND sound. No problems whatsoever. Cons: None so far. 4 stars only because of first purchase and waste of time. JULY 2015 OLD REVIEW ABOUT Cable Matters® Gold Plated DisplayPort to HDTV Cable 15 Feet - do not buy it! Got this cable 'cos it was only one on Amazon 15ft long DP to HDMI. I have 750Ti GC and was hopping to get a Samsung TV as 3rd monitor through DP port to watch movies, netflix etc etc. Well, it's not worked out this way. Picture quality not even close to what I did expect, less saturated, less brighter, less everything compare to picture I have when connecting computer to TV directly hdmi-to-hdmi. But the worst part is - this cable DID NOT gave me any audio. At all. It wasn't recognized by sound panel in Win 7 AND audio in Nvidia control panel. Spend hour and half with techsupp from both Gygabite and Nvidia, checked every and any settings, run tests and everything was working perfect - as soon as this cable is disconnected. So be aware - there is a chance you'll get such a crap cable and didn't get ANY promised "...high-definition ... flawless audio..." AT ALL. Will return it tomorrow. Pros: NONE. And c'mon, guys! "Golden plated" is sooo 90's. Or somewhere still people who believed in it?:O) Cons: EVERYTHING. Bad picture, NO audio, crap quality.

I purchased this cable in order to watch content from my Lenovo T410 laptop on a HD TV. The laptop has a DisplayPort (DP++) output and the TV has HDMI input. Simply by connecting the ends of this cable to my laptop and TV, I had an 720p HD image of my laptop screen almost instantly. However, there was no audio. The lack of audio was *not* due to any flaw in the cable. In the process of troubleshooting, I saw several websites which simply blamed this sort of no-audio problem on a "cheap cable" -- but, while this cable is certainly inexpensive (which is one of the reasons I got it!), it has no trouble carrying audio (and very clear audio, at that). I eventually found a Lenovo forum which held the answer: "First go to your audio settings by going FN + F6, choose 'Audio Defaults + Settings'. Then choose your TV as the default audio." This did the trick for me -- I instantly had audio (both through the laptop speakers and the HD TV). The poster on the Lenovo forum also had this piece of advice (which I never followed, since the first step solved the problem for me): "Now the sneaky part. Push FN + F7 and choose 'Projector Only', then sound will come out of the TV. Took me forever to figure out." Again, I had no need to do this, but I'm re-posting it in case someone else does. In summary, after some fiddling with my cpu's settings, this cable delivered all that was promised: crystal clear audio and visual from my laptop to my HD TV. Note: I have only used the cable on a handful of occasions during the past few weeks, so I'm not in a good position to evaluate its durability. As a previous reviewer has mentioned, when the DisplayPort end connects to the computer, it "latches" into place, and a small panel must be pressed in order to release it -- this "release latch" doesn't feel like the most sturdy thing in the world, but it hasn't given my any problems so far, and handled gently, I would imagine that it will continue to function just fine.

These days there are very few things that I actually go to the store and buy. I mostly order things online. Simply because the price is usually better and its just more convenient. Cables are one of those things I usually go to the store and purchase so that I can physically see the cable that I am ordering. There are just so many manufacturers that produce different types of cables of different qualities and repackage and relabel them for specific retailers. You just never really know the level of quality you are getting from cables you order online. Its on of these hit and miss things. Some cables though. Especially conversion cables of a specific length. You just have to order online, because you will be hard pressed to find them in the stores. My point is that these cable matters cables are quality made for their price point. This is my second time purchasing them and you plug them in and forget about them they work so well. The wire terminals seem to be solid and the connection terminals themselves seem to be well made. I do like that these specific cables are fairly thin and cable matters ever has thinner cables in certain connections, called the Ultra Slim cables. So its nice to know where the brand of cables that I can purchase online with out having to worry about if they are good cables or not. Trying to drudge through the thousands and thousands of different cable brands online and look at reviews is just a head ache. I will still be purchasing my cables in the store for the most part, because cables are one of those things that I usually dont know I need right up until I need it, but when the need arrises for me to order my cables online, Cable Matters will definitely be my go to.

Date purchased: 20 Feb. 2012. Price Paid: $14.99 For me this 10 feet length was the right length. Not too long and not very short. Just enough to easily get my laptop connected on the coffee table in front of my TV. My HP laptop has DP++ port which supports Audio. And this cable worked as promised. I can stream the audio from my laptop on the TV (and to my home theater via TOSlink optical out from TV to A/V receiver.) One important point to note is if your display port is just the native DP and not the DP++ version then you won't get the audio transmission from the laptop. Next, the cable also has to support the audio transmission. Since the Audio capability is mentioned in the description for this cable, this part is taken care of. This cable is sturdy and seems to be of good quality. I saw another from the 'Buycheapcables" which was $2.50 cheaper than this but that cable did not have any reviews. I guess they both might be similar but I chose this because I didn't want to take any risk. It seems many DisplayPort side connectors on such type of cables come out or get damaged...(DisplayPort connectors have locking mechanism and people may not be realizing this) I will see how long mine works. I am always careful when I disconnect the DP side by fully pressing the disengaging tab on the connector. So far so good for $15 I paid for this cable. Will update whenever something bad happens with this cable. The seller "Cable Matters" did provide me with a good service.

(one star review) While I thought this cable was the answer to my problems, connecting the Displayport++ laptop output to my HDMI monitor, it only worked intermittently, and finally quit working all together after only 4 months of use. UPDATE (AUG 2015) - Cable Matters saw my displeasure via my original review and contacted me to offer a replacement cable. Since this was outside of Amazon's standard 30-day timeframe, Cable Matters handled the process directly with me. I was pleased with their follow-up and positive attitude and replacement offer. I accepted the replacement, installed it, and am using it now. Since the original cable worked when first installed, I'll reserve my judgement on the replacement. After a week, it is working well with no intermittent cutouts. I applaud Cable Matters on their customer service. I upgraded my initial one-star to three, pending proof of effectiveness over time. UPDATE (NOV 2015) - I have now been using the replacement cable for just over four months and am very pleased. I have not had any connection errors or need to reseat the connections as I did with the initially shipped cable. I will use Cable Matters again when I need a connector that they offer.

J'ai commandé la version 5m reçue le sur-lendemain sans frais de port: parfait à ce niveau. Le câble est utilisé pour brancher un PC (coté displayport) vers une TV FHD (coté HDMI) en 1080p@60Hz. Le branchement fonctionne parfaitement sans aucun parasite ni souci d'image, malgré l'importante longueur du câble: parfait niveau fonctionnement. Niveau prix, difficile de trouver moins cher à mon avis. Ces 3 points expliquent ma note de 5/5.

Quadro４００グラッフィクカードのDIsplayPortから、PHILIPS 21.5型ワイド 液晶ディスプレイ 224E5QHSB/11への出力で使用しています。 ケーブル外径が約7.5mmで少し太いのですが、柔軟性があるのでそれなりの取り回しが可能です。

Ottima qualità e prezzo da tradizione Cable Matters, perfetto per collegare un vecchio monitor alle nuove schede grafiche piene di prese Display Port

問題なく使用できました。品質も十分だと思われます。

Así que cambie el cable se notó la diferencia, tanto en la imagen como en el sonido. Mejor calidad. Ahora a ver si ya no tiene el problema de que falle la conexión, como pasaba con el anterior cable. Pero por ahora satisfecha por ver qué mejoró, y bastante ^^ Mil gracias por todo. :)
