Question: Is this an active or passive connection?  (Will my computer see this monitor as a DisplayPort or HDMI?)
Document: The product was priced reasonably, arrived quickly and performs as it is supposed to. It allowed me to hook the display port (DP) connection from my new computer to the HDMI connection on my monitor.
I used this adapter to connect my Dell Latitutde laptop to a Samsung display. The result was fuzzy with washed-out coler, even after adjusting the display. I then noticed that the adapter in labeled "INPUT" at the DisplayPort (computer) end and "OUTPUT" at the HDMI (cord to monitor) end. So it seems that this adapter may be signed to send a signal to the computer's built-in display, rather than to send the computer's signal to an external display.
Got this for a Dell Latitude E6400 that has DisplayPort but no HDMI. I work from home with a 22" LG monitor, and was forced to use the Dell's analog output, which had visible interference and not-so-sharp image.I got this adapter. It hooks up firmly to the computer due locking hooks. Plug in HDMI cable, works like a charm. I now have flicker-free, interference-free beautiful 1080p crisp text. It carries audio, too.
5 starsi use it as a displayport out of my pc to hdmi in to a monitor,single cable connection for video and sound.
I read the reviews about this product and noticed the tremendous amount of people saying that the hooks would get caught in the DisplayPort and no longer dislodge. Here's how to avoid that.Before even testing the adapter, I initially separated the cover to see if I could find a way to remove the hooks, but the only way I could see doing this would require separating the DisplayPort end from the circuit board, and then having to re-solder the connection or more.
After plugging this adapter in for the first time, I had video, but no volume. I'm not sure if the volume issue was due to the adapter or my computer. I didn't get a chance to check. When I went to pull the adapter out of the computer, it literally separated in my hand and pulled apart. I had to use a pair of pliers to get the displayport connection back out of my computer. I guess you get what you pay for.
This connector simply placed too much strain at the connection (it's long, sticking out from the display port nearly 2"), and was always troublesome while it lasted. A tiny bump and it would disconnect at the displayport. After only 4 or 5 uses and  it came apart, leaving the connector stuck in my computer. Terrible! I'm trying the connector with a short cable between the two ports with the hope it'll relieve the strain.
This adapter seems well constructed and works as expected. Allowed connection from DisplayPort on my laptop to my TV via a HDMI cable. Adapter will allow streaming of Netflix from Dell laptop. Everything seems to be working well.
I bought this to use with my work-provided HP laptop which for some reason has a Displayport jack rather than an HDMI one. I use it to watch Netflix on the hotel TV or to use the TV as an external monitor. It works. Note that when coupled with a HDMI cable it creates a long cantilever on the Displayport jack itself which could possibly overstress it.
I wanted to hear and see Skype on our Sony XBR7 HDMI-only capable 1080p TV, fed from a Lenovo X220 convertable laptop/tablet running System 7 64 bit Ultimate through the DisplayPort. I also wanted to watch some YouTube videos playing from Firefox and hear their audio on my big living room audio system. No such luck.When first plugged in, I remember briefly seeing the TV via this DisplayPort adapter in the audio device list, but the next time, the TV disappeared and is nowhere to be found.
Answer: Computer see this as a HDMI monitor...both audio + video are working on this.My setup is Dell will display port + this adapter + HDMI wire + Sony Bravia HDMI
