Works as described/intended, does NOT work as HDMI -> DisplayPort

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on February 27, 2018

Cable works as described, but note that it is uni-directional. It will work with DisplayPort as the output and HDMI as the input. It is described this way as well, but my intended use case was the opposite. I've never heard of a one-way translation for digital video signals, but that does appear to be the case. I verified this worked fine from a Dell docking station (DisplayPort) to a Dell 4K display (using HDMI input). Using the DisplayPort input on the monitor and HDMI output on a laptop did NOT work. Not deducting stars from the rating due to my lack of knowledge on the reverse not working, but writing this review in the hope that it prevents someone else from encountering a similar issue.

A unidirectional cable??!

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on November 20, 2018

After wasting a ton of time fiddling with this and it not working at all, I noticed way down at the bottom of the item description, it mentions this is a unidirectional cable (video source displayport, destination hdmi). I needed to connect with the opposite polarity.

I've never heard of a unidirectional cable, so wouldn't have even thought to check. This needs to be WAY more clear -- as in, prominently in the item title.

Does what it should

We got new computers at school, and my existing large monitor needed a new cable for a dual monitor setup. I hooked this up myself in under a minute. Configuring my monitors took two more minutes. Everything worked exactly as it should, and I didn’t even need help. Very pleased!

Worked a treat the moment I plugged in. Quality seems excellent.

Bought a third monitor, then found out it had only 2 HDMI outs, plus 2 DisplayPort outs. Monitor was HDMI only. I instantly assumed it couldn't be as easy as just buy an adaptor but had no choice. Surprise! Instant success. Wins like that don't come easy these days.

I’m starting more now to trust Amazon basics brand and finding that they’re not that much does some of that from the other name brands is 3 foot cable so exactly what I needed from my computer DSP port

Amazing if you want a dual monitor that can extend.

I'm not tech savvy and was not too sure about buying this product but I purchased it hoping I could use it for a second monitor that extends, and it did just that :) satisfied customer!

It... works. About as well as it should. What else is there to say?

Probably the easiest review I can make yet. You plug it in, it does the thing it's built to do, as well as it should. It's hard to call a cable "stellar," considering it only does one thing and lacks any complex parts that could easily break, but given the absurdly low price... yeah, I guess the word "stellar" fits.

Quality product - Priced right

I purchased 2 of these to use with a new Dell dock and the picture quality is great, the cables feel premium and the connections are firm.

The cables are a good length. My graphics card has two display ports and only one hdmi, so I bought two of these cables to connect dual monitors. Everything works and the picture quality is great.
