Cable Matters Gold Plated DisplayPort to DVI Male to Female Adapter

I needed a cable for my new notebook Display port to be able to plug in my TV via HDMI. There are many other adapters out there for much more money, but this one gets the job done at a great value. It is great that it has a flexible cable in between instead of the one piece... that is just asking to be broken if you ask me on those other models. This one is flexible and connects securely in the port. Sound is also transmitted through this adapter. This is a plus because it is an optional part of the Display port standards, so not all adapters support this feature, but this one does. Great Value... would definately recommend.

Hi, Got the cable/adapter on the day it was promised to recieve. Thanks for Amazon for their continuous efforts in making things better for their customers and meeting their promises.

Now back to review, This cable i bought for my Lenovo Thinkpad T420 laptop and it worked excellent. Picture quality was way better and sound was exceptionally good. Worked by just plug and play method. No drivers required at all.

I also observed that quality is better than the direct HDMI cable which i used in my another Lenovo Y550 laptop with NVIDA graphics card. Where as Thinkpad was with corei5 processor supported graphics chipset and still the quality and sound was better in Thinkpad. Go for it and grab yours before it get sold out. Reasonable price as compared to other listings, build quality is strong. There's also the button on display port which you need to press to pull out the adapter. I liked this button as this avoids loose connections causing faults.

Highly recommended for Thinkpad Users as it is tried and tested in mt own T420 model.

-Thanks

Buy Cable Matters Gold Plated DisplayPort to DVI Male to Female Adapter Now

I purchased this product with hesitation based on the many poor reviews of similar products that stated the clip was too tight/too loose/broke off/etc. My video card has an HDMI port and a displayport. I already had a monitor using the HDMI and my monitors don't have a displayport so I needed this little adapter. I haven't had any issues with this product so far. I've had it in the back of my desktop tower under my desk for a month now and it has been performing perfectly.

UPDATE: 11/30/2012

Still working without any issues. I've had to move my computer a few times since purchasing but I haven't had any issues.

Another move and still no issues. It feels solid so I really can't understand how people had a bad experience. They must have been yanking on the cord or something because it works fine for me.

If this reviews was helpful in your decision to buy or not, please let me know! That's how I know where to improve in my reviews.

I purchased this Cable Matters Displayport to HDMI Cable Adapter Male to Female (sold by Cable Matters, fulfilled by Amazon) to hook up my Lenovo Thinkpad X220 with DisplayPort to my HDTV.

Video worked fine but sadly, audio did not pass through. I tested this using two separate HDMI cables and two different HDTV sets (Toshiba Regza and Panasonic Viera) which I believe ruled out the tv set or cable, leading me to suspect that this cable adapter just isn't compatible for my use.

I loved the construction, the connectors look to be gold plated, the DisplayPort end has a locking release tab so it won't wiggle its way out of the laptop by accident. I prefer a cable adapter vs a dongle adapter (without cable) because I feel that it puts less stress on the laptop DisplayPort connector, especially if accidentally bumped.

As much as I'd love to keep this, I can't live with just video without audio, so I sent it back.

This may work with other laptop models but it didn't with my Thinkpad X220.

Bought a different adapter, made by SIIG worked on my X220. The SIIG cable gauge was also thicker and the adapter was slightly longer. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0021AEYS6

I switched back and forth between the Cable Matters and the SIIG linked above and the SIIG was the only one out of the two that worked to transmit audio as well. Again, this was for a Lenovo Thinkpad X220.

This cable works perfectly with my Dell e6400 XFR. I purchased a full length cable that had the Display Port to HDMI board on the Display Port plug side and it would not fit through the holes in the XFRs dust cover. There is no issue with this plug and it has worked with all the HDMI monitors and systems I have used. 23in to 50in all 1080p+
