Product Information

I read it online that it may be because the type-C doesn't supply enough power, or passive cables don't work in general, HP hasn't been design with a screen in mind, all conflicting info. It lets the user send many uncompressed high-definition videos and audio channels over one cable, displaying quality video format and audio on HDTVs and home theater systems.

The DisplayPort(DP) can be converted to HDMI and connected to HDMI Monitor Input. If there is a DP++(Dual Mode Displayport output Connection) DisplayPort supported system, it can be converted to HDMI using a Passive DisplayPort to HDMI converter. Otherwise, an active DisplayPort to HDMI converter is required. DisplayPort HDMI adapters are straightforward to use, especially if you have one of the newer DisplayPort 1.2 models.With gold-plated cord, copper conductors, and braid shielding, you can expect this one to work reliably for years. The DisplayPort offers a secure connection with latches so your little one doesn’t unplug the PC accidentally. You must press the release button to unplug the cable. It’s a neat touch often ignored by other brands on the list. These signal converter adapters can convert DisplayPort signals while supporting high resolutions up to 4K. I have a Quadro P600 (only decent used card not scalped in 2020-21) which only has mini-displayport outputs on it. I hooked it up to my 4K HDTV with HDR10 support and was expecting to get, well, 4K and HDR10.

A DisplayPort to HDMI adapter takes the DisplayPort signal it receives and converts it into the equivalent HDMI signal. If you are looking for a cable, you will want to make sure that you grab one of a decent length. If you are planning on hooking up two devices, then you will need to ensure that there is enough cable to extend between the two. To Conclude DisplayPort works at 3.3V, whereas HDMI needs a 5V signal to work. HDMI uses TMDS(Transition-minimized differential signaling) technology . So, the adapter converts the DisplayPort signal to the HDMI TMDS signal at 5V. DisplayPort to HDMI Cable vs Adapter The most common response that seemed to be the truth was that some graphics cards just can't support more than 2 monitors. I researched my graphics card and every place I looked said it could support up to 4 monitors (I wondered how, seeing as there are only 3 ports, but I digress).I just bought a Lenovo 700 tower with an NVIDIA GeForce GTX 960 video card that, among others, has one HDMI output and one DisplayPort (DP) output and supports up to 4K resolution (actually 5120x3200). My two monitors each have a native resolution of 2560x1440 at 60Hz with HDMI, DP, and DVI-D inputs. I am using both of them together for an extended desktop at their native resolution (running Windows 10, BTW).
