I am not computer savvy but I follow instructions to a "T"  when having the recommended connectors or connecting the different components are concerned. Firstly this desktop was not packed for shipping or rough handling. this is also my first experience with " Display Port to HDMI. " I got the  DP adapter from a local store. After connecting everything and ensuring the everything was tight, including WIFI adapter. I turned on the computer ,( it booted up) and the TV, ( Used as a monitor) nothing happened. turned everything off, retried. Again nothing happened. Thought it was the TV. So I lugged this 24 pounder upstairs to my bedroom TV. I am in my mid 70's, with back, knee and hip issues. Did the same  with the upstairs Tv. Agained no display on this TV. So I thought , it was the DP adapter as it still needed a HDMI cable to plug into the the TV end. I ordered this item . DP to HD TV cable , one piece from Amazon. When it arrived , I did the same with both TVs. Again, nothing happened . My conclusion, the desktop could be damaged in transit or the feature "DP port to HDMI is not the recommended form to use for streaming. Finally I returned the desktop and am waiting for another  desktop from Amazon with a "TRUE" HDMI port to arrive. My TVS work with my laptop and old desktop with no issues using an HDMI cable. Several buyers in their reviews have had the same problem with the "DP port to HDMI feature. So I would not recommend buying a desktop with only" DP to HDMI" ports to avoid the frustration, inconvenience and disappointment and a sore back, lugging this useless 25 pounder up and downstairs.
