DisplayPort to HDMI Adapter Bundle - DP to HDMI with 6ft 4K Cable

In this review the StarTech.com DisplayPort to HDMI bundle is assessed for users who need a straightforward way to connect a DisplayPort computer to an HDMI monitor or TV. The bottom line: it is a compact, no-frills solution that pairs an 8 in passive DisplayPort to HDMI adapter with a 6 ft high speed HDMI cable to deliver reliable 1080p and modest 4K performance; the main reason to buy is the combined convenience of a portable DP-to-HDMI converter and a full-length HDMI cable included in one package.

Key Features

• Compact DP adapter: The 8 in passive DisplayPort to HDMI adapter converts a DisplayPort++ source to HDMI output for simple plug-and-play connectivity with laptops and desktops.
• 1080p video and audio: The adapter supports 1920x1200 output and passes 1080p video with 7.1 channel audio so media and presentations play with full sound when the source supports it.
• 6 ft high speed HDMI cable: The included 6 ft HDMI cable supports up to 4K UHD at 30Hz and 1080p at higher refresh rates for a flexible connection to TVs, monitors, or projectors.
• Reliable bandwidth: The PVC-jacketed HDMI cable handles up to 10.2 Gbps bandwidth and includes Ethernet support to meet common home theater and display needs.
• Portable pairing: The small adapter is easy to carry with a laptop while the 6 ft cable gives enough reach to connect to nearby displays without adapters or additional purchases.

Who It's For

This bundle is aimed at students, office workers, and anyone with a computer that has a DisplayPort or DisplayPort++ output who wants to drive an HDMI monitor, TV, or projector without fuss. It is particularly useful when portability matters, since the compact adapter stows with a laptop and the cable is a standard 6 ft length for desk or living-room setups.

Those who need native 4K at 60Hz, active conversion from other display outputs, or advanced features like HDR should look elsewhere; the HDMI cable supports 4K at up to 30Hz and the adapter is a passive DP-to-HDMI solution limited by the source and passive conversion capabilities.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Simple plug-and-play adapter that works well for common DisplayPort to HDMI connections and portable use.
• Includes a full 6 ft high speed HDMI cable, so no separate purchase is required for typical desktop or living-room setups.
• Cable supports 10.2 Gbps bandwidth and Ethernet, covering standard 4K and 1080p home theater needs.

Cons

• Adapter is passive and only converts DisplayPort to HDMI; it will not provide active conversion for non-DisplayPort sources or higher 4K refresh rates.
