Cable Matters Unidirectional DisplayPort to HDMI Cable - 35ft, Gold-Plated DP to HDMI Cable, Display Port to HDTV/Monitor/Projector Conversion Cord

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.

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.

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.

I wish it was clear in the description that this is less than 2k resolution. I found out from the text on the box itself. Otherwise likely workable for most users. And Cable Matters is a good Co. for hookup cables

New GPU has more DisplayPort connectors than HDMI so used this cable to hook up one of my extra monitors. Everything works great and getting rated specs. Cable quality is great with solid connections. DP side has a little press release on the cable so don’t forcibly disconnect without pushing it down.

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. :)
