5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic - sometimes you get more than you paid for, December 10, 2009

This works for me. I bought four of them, hoping to save on shipping (not, they charge $3 each for shipping) and was worried that the sound would not work. Well everything is great. They arrived within a few days of the order. Audio comes thru the adapter into the TV just fine. Here's my setup - Dell E6400 Laptop with Windows 7 64 bit with whatever IE comes with that.
I unplugged my $6.00 HDMI cable from [...] (another fantastic deal - I have two and will buy more) from my Roku (great thing to have if you have Netflix and don't have a laptop with HDMI) which is plugged into my 50" Panisonic Viera Plasma, stuck that into this adapter and then into the laptop and then watched last weeks's Fringe on Hulu with no problems. I did absolutely nothing but plug it in. Computer problems I don't like because I work in I.T. and don't take computer problems home. This product is highly recommended!!

Update - as another poster said - "....I bought this adapter with BargainCell. It was supposed to be a StarTech brand. However, the actual adapter I received was another brand. .... BTW, the other brand adapter works." The other brand that I recieved from Bargincell looks like the one pictured as a "premium" adapter from another Amazon seller. No guarantee what you will get, but sounds like they both work.

This port connected right into the display port on my laptop and then I was able to utilzie a 10' hdmi cable and plug it into my 42" tv. My laptop configured easily and took up the whole display and now I can watch Hulu, netflix on demand, and other dvd's right off my computer. It is especially sweet for mlb.tv.

5.0 out of 5 stars Doesn't work with Lenovo W700 DisplayPort, March 13, 2011

Well I purchased this adapter to see if I could get my laptop to connect with my TV. I was using DVI to HDMI, which works but there's no audio. This DisplayPort to HDMI is supposed to output audio and video.

I found out that Lenovo included the DisplayPort but not the functionality. It outputs video (haven't gotten that to work yet) but no audio so it's basically a DVI. Now this device is sitting on the shelf gathering dust. I own a Lenovo W700.
