Displayport to HDMI

DisplayPort to HDMI – Convert DisplayPort connector to HDMI connector

What is DisplayPort? Many new computers come with a DisplayPort output in the graphics card, as it is the new standard for connecting a screen to a computer.

DisplayPort is also referred to as DP, and it is a digital interface made to replace data connections like VGA and DVI. DisplayPort is starting to challenge HDMI when it comes to computers, but not yet for TVs and projectors.

Nowadays, we use HDMI in many contexts. HDMI is the technology most people use and know when it comes to transferring high-quality image and sound.

This is how a DisplayPort to HDMI works

You can use a DisplayPort to HDMI cable or a DisplayPort to HDMI adapter, where you can then connect a regular HDMI cable.

Be aware: As the name indicates, DisplayPort to HDMI only works from DisplayPort to HDMI, and not the other way around. The cable or adapter cannot be used from the HDMI port in your computer to a DisplayPort in your screen.

There are different sizes of DisplayPort to HDMI cables and connectors. Within HDMI, there are three variants that are the most widespread. They all have 19 pins and the standard size A is found on most televisions, video projectors, and many laptops.

If you want to know more about DisplayPort and HDMI technology, you can benefit from reading here. We will give a detailed answer on how the many interfaces can connect with each other, and what advantages and disadvantages the different options have.

Why use DisplayPort to HDMI?

A DisplayPort to HDMI cable supports screen resolutions of up to 1920x1200, allowing you to get the most out of HDMI video functionality when using a DP cable. There is also type B, which is primarily found on tablets, and the very small type C, which you can find on many smartphones.

DisplayPort provides the user with several advantages, such as higher performance. In addition, it also becomes possible to create a network and connect multiple screens to a single video output.

Better system integration with DisplayPort to HDMI

DisplayPort technology supports 4K screens at 60 Hz and 30 bit 4:4:4 color. At 60 Hz, DisplayPort 1.4 can support 5K screens, while DisplayPort 1.4 technology makes the colors on a 4K screen deeper and more intense.

DisplayPort technology is a video interface managed by VESA (Video Electronics Standards Association), and it is a technology used by more and more devices and users.

When you use DisplayPort technology, you achieve better system integration and better possibilities for your various devices to work together. With a DisplayPort to HDMI cable, you also get the absolute best chance for optimal quality when using your projector.

The DisplayPort to HDMI adapter allows you to connect an HDMI video display to a DisplayPort video source. This means you don't have to spend money and time upgrading your screen to be DisplayPort compatible, and you still achieve the same high quality that you know from HDMI.

This reduces your costs as a consumer, because you do not need to buy a new screen with DisplayPort compatibility.

DisplayPort 1.4a

Like many other interfaces and data connections such as USB and HDMI, DisplayPort also comes in different versions and updates. They all started from version 1.0, and then the versions are slowly optimized, coming with new names in the form of new numbers and letters.

The latest version of DisplayPort was announced in April 2018 and is called DisplayPort 1.4a. This edition and technology allow you to achieve a resolution of up to 8K.

The best sound with DisplayPort to HDMI

You no longer have to worry about using both DisplayPort and HDMI technologies. With a DisplayPort to HDMI cable, you can get your devices to work together to achieve the best possible result.

DisplayPort technology is therefore not the same as HDMI, but can adapt to HDMI. DisplayPort to HDMI supports HDMI sound, allowing you to achieve optimal sound by using DP to HDMI.

Just like with video technology, data transfer and conversion between DisplayPort and HDMI occurs synchronously. You can convert most DisplayPort signals to HDMI signals.

When you want the best video and sound quality, DisplayPort to HDMI is the optimal solution.

Therefore, we have ensured a good selection that can meet all your needs. You can have two devices that normally cannot be connected to work together. This solves many problems for you and ensures that you can use your favorite devices while getting the best out of them.

Mini DisplayPort to HDMI

Mini DisplayPort to HDMI is especially used on MacBooks from Apple. Since the manufacturer wants a very simple design with few inputs in the computer, problems often arise because Apple did not follow the same conventions in their technology as other manufacturers.

So if you have been to a conference or in a classroom where people have had trouble connecting their MacBook to a screen, it is often because a Mini DisplayPort to HDMI was lacking.

High-Definition Multimedia Interface

HDMI stands for High-Definition Multimedia Interface. The technology was developed by seven leading companies: Hitachi, Philips, Sony, Sanyo, Silicon Image, Technicolor, and Toshiba.

The version HDMI 1.0 was released back in December 2002. The latest is 2.1, which offers the possibility of an 8K resolution, just like DisplayPort 1.4a does.

DisplayPort versus HDMI

Both technologies started from different starting points, and they are still very technically different.

The idea behind HDMI was for the technology to outcompete other connections when it comes to AV equipment, especially regarding TVs.

DisplayPort was developed to replace the other interfaces on computers and was designed with a direct graphics card and screen connection. However, over time, the two technologies have overlapped, and there are now many ways to connect different monitors.

Therefore, we have a small guide to what types of cables, adapters, and options exist when it comes to DisplayPort.

DisplayPort cables

DisplayPort cables support resolutions and formats all the way from 4K, 5K, and even up to 8K. In addition, you can also get them with 3D support. Like HDMI cables, DisplayPort cables are used to transmit high-quality image and sound.

The technology is developed by VESA: Video Electronics Standards Association. Originally, the technology was not compatible with either DVI or HDMI. However, the new updated versions have made DisplayPort compatible with both types of connectors.

Therefore, you can advantageously use this technology, and you can see other options if you continue reading. You can also get more information about the specific products by clicking on the following list:

• DisplayPort Cable
• DisplayPort to DVI
• Displayport to VGA
• USB-C to DisplayPort
• DisplayPort Adapter
• DisplayPort Extender
• DisplayPort Splitter
• Thunderbolt Cable

DisplayPort to DVI

DVI stands for Digital Visual Interface, and is gradually being completely replaced by DP and HDMI. If you want to transfer an image where one device uses DVI and the other uses DP, you can use a DisplayPort to DVI.

The cable can convert the signal in both directions, so it is adapted for both sender and receiver. However, it should be noted that only the video signal is transported, and not the audio signal.

DisplayPort to VGA

VGA stands for Video Graphics Array, and has, like DVI, been surpassed by both HDMI and DP. However, there are still many devices that use this technology. Therefore, there are still many instances where a computer with DP needs to connect either to a TV or your BluRay player.

Therefore, it may be relevant to acquire a DisplayPort to VGA if your devices do not have the same inputs and outputs.

USB-C to DisplayPort

If you use a USB-C to DisplayPort, you can transmit 4K video signals directly from your Macbook to a screen. With this solution, you can be sure that you can watch movies in high resolution from your MacBook on a TV screen.

DisplayPort Adapter

With a DisplayPort adapter, you can either connect two DisplayPort cables together or change the gender of the connectors. Additionally, you can also use a DisplayPort to USB adapter, which is particularly handy if you need to connect your laptop to a DisplayPort source.

An adapter also makes it possible to convert DisplayPort to VGA, DVI, or HDMI.

DisplayPort Extender

Just as USB and HDMI have limitations when it comes to sending signals over long distances, the same applies to DisplayPort. Therefore, you can acquire a DisplayPort extender if you need to send a signal over a longer distance.

So if your cable is too short, or if your cable needs to be pulled over longer distances, then you may need a DisplayPort extender.

DisplayPort Splitter

A splitter is generally used when you want a signal to be sent to multiple receivers. The signal goes into a splitter, where it is duplicated out to several screens. So if you want to display the same signal from your DisplayPort on multiple screens, you can advantageously check out our selection of Display splitters.
