Cable Matters Unidirectional DisplayPort to HDMI Cable - 35ft, Gold-Plated DP to HDMI Cable, Display Port to HDTV/Monitor/Projector Conversion Cord

UPDATE: My original review is below. I've increased my rating to 5-Stars because of the stellar customer service exhibited by Cable Matters. Although I did have an issue, as I said in my original review, I was unsure if the product itself was at fault. Cable Matters contacted me soon after my review offering to replace the product at no charge. When I accepted the offer, they shipped a new cable immediately. Since I had damaged the original cable, I did what I'd normally NOT do and attempted to damage the replacement cable in the same way as the original cable. I found the cable ends to be VERY solidly built and able to withstand substantial lateral pressure without the slightest movement within the housing. The cable has worked flawlessly for over a month since I received the replacement. This is the kind of service that gains my respect and loyalty in a product. ANY product can be damaged or defective. Having once been involved in quality control in an earlier profession, I can say that without reservation. It's how the company responds to the damage or defect that speaks to its integrity. I will be buying cables from Cable Matters in the future without the slightest concern about the quality of the product or the integrity of the company! - Paul ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I have little to say about this product. I plugged it into an HDMI port on the side of a TV Screen, then leaned around it to plug the DP end into a computer. When I moved back, the HDMI end was damaged beyond repair. It was obvious I somehow put pressure on the plug or cord causing the damage. For what it's worth, I didn't feel any pressure so I'm thinking it didn't take much to cause the damage. Note: Previous Cable Matters products have been of good quality and reliable.

works fine

These days there are very few things that I actually go to the store and buy. I mostly order things online. Simply because the price is usually better and its just more convenient. Cables are one of those things I usually go to the store and purchase so that I can physically see the cable that I am ordering. There are just so many manufacturers that produce different types of cables of different qualities and repackage and relabel them for specific retailers. You just never really know the level of quality you are getting from cables you order online. Its on of these hit and miss things. Some cables though. Especially conversion cables of a specific length. You just have to order online, because you will be hard pressed to find them in the stores. My point is that these cable matters cables are quality made for their price point. This is my second time purchasing them and you plug them in and forget about them they work so well. The wire terminals seem to be solid and the connection terminals themselves seem to be well made. I do like that these specific cables are fairly thin and cable matters ever has thinner cables in certain connections, called the Ultra Slim cables. So its nice to know where the brand of cables that I can purchase online with out having to worry about if they are good cables or not. Trying to drudge through the thousands and thousands of different cable brands online and look at reviews is just a head ache. I will still be purchasing my cables in the store for the most part, because cables are one of those things that I usually dont know I need right up until I need it, but when the need arrises for me to order my cables online, Cable Matters will definitely be my go to.

I wish it was clear in the description that this is less than 2k resolution. I found out from the text on the box itself. Otherwise likely workable for most users. And Cable Matters is a good Co. for hookup cables

I am using a laptop docking station with monitors. I wanted to use a digital connection to both as I don't want to use the VGA connector, the picture quality isn't the same. I found a ton of adapters from DisplayPort to HDMI but they were the same price range as this actual cable, you would also then need a HDMI cable, so why bother. The cable quality itself was very good, sturdy feel but flexible for use. The DisplayPort button didn't flex under pressure when inserting it or removing it. This monitor has speakers built but I use PC speakers instead. I have a DP++ port so not only does the video signal go through the cable, I found that it also pushes audio as well. Once the cable was connected, my PC recognized that second audio source (monitor) but I didn't. While testing the monitor and trying to watch some video on it, I couldn't get any sound. I didn't realize the audio switched from the internal source to the monitor. It took a while for me to realize this and I was able to change it back. the next time I docked the laptop, it happened again. Only then while trying to switch to the internal source did I find the settings to default it. It now pushes the audio out of the PC audio jack as intended. I have not tried to reverse the cable to see if a signal can flow from HDMI to DP++. I do know that the specs on some of these cables will state if the signal will flow in a signal and or reverse direction. So don't buy it for HDMI to DP++ unless its been confirmed by somoene who owns it already or its stated in specs.

Date purchased: 20 Feb. 2012. Price Paid: $14.99 For me this 10 feet length was the right length. Not too long and not very short. Just enough to easily get my laptop connected on the coffee table in front of my TV. My HP laptop has DP++ port which supports Audio. And this cable worked as promised. I can stream the audio from my laptop on the TV (and to my home theater via TOSlink optical out from TV to A/V receiver.) One important point to note is if your display port is just the native DP and not the DP++ version then you won't get the audio transmission from the laptop. Next, the cable also has to support the audio transmission. Since the Audio capability is mentioned in the description for this cable, this part is taken care of. This cable is sturdy and seems to be of good quality. I saw another from the 'Buycheapcables" which was $2.50 cheaper than this but that cable did not have any reviews. I guess they both might be similar but I chose this because I didn't want to take any risk. It seems many DisplayPort side connectors on such type of cables come out or get damaged...(DisplayPort connectors have locking mechanism and people may not be realizing this) I will see how long mine works. I am always careful when I disconnect the DP side by fully pressing the disengaging tab on the connector. So far so good for $15 I paid for this cable. Will update whenever something bad happens with this cable. The seller "Cable Matters" did provide me with a good service.

Delivered very quickly and works like a champ!

To be fair, the cable is good. I was a little confused on all the HDTV and not HDMI labels so I hope to sum it up for anyone else confused: My new computer has the display port and the TV (32" LG) that I have used for a monitor for years has an HDMI port. This cable does work. However, moving the mouse does not turn the monitor on, the computer wakes but I have to hit the power button on the TV to get it to come on, then you have about a 10 second bar at the top that says no hdmi signal. VGA cable does wake the monitor and my old PC had HDMI to HDMI and it woke the monitor. As you can tell my only complaint is not waking the monitor
