5Just the thing for my Alienware LaptopMar 14, 2010
By Pete Romano "cheeze@sunflower.com"
I got this cable for my Alienware M15x laptop. I was surprised it'd didn't come with an HDMI and was not familiar with displayport. I got this cable so I could watch my movie files while on vacation. The adapter works great and is very well made. The part that plugs into the data port has a positive locking system which is nice. The quality is also very good and it feels substantial and well put together.

Additional info. For me (as mentioned in the comments below), in order to send the audio through the HDMI cable, you will need to get into the "sound and Audio devices" of the control panel and change the sound playback Default Device to the displayport cable. If you don't the sound will come out the laptop speakers or whatever speakers you have hooked up to the laptop.

Just a quick update. I've been using this cable on and off for a while and it still works just fine. More and more hotels have nice TV's with HDMI in plugs so I can play my movies from my laptop which is nice.

I just wanted to mention that although the photo of the adapter may look like a USB at first glance IT'S NOT, it IS a DisplayPort male end you are seeing. This is a DisplayPort to HDMI adapter, just like the title says. I see too many people giving this item bad reviews because they made the mistake of ordering it thinking it is a USB to HDMI. It isn't. The title and description is correct. I'm not saying I've never ordered the wrong thing by mistake but I can't say I'd blame Amazon for my mistake.

5It works--sound and allAug 31, 2010
By J. Reinhart
I was a bit disappoint to see my new Dell laptop come with DP++ (DisplayPort++) output instead of HDMI. I connected the laptop with this adapter to a 6ft HDMI cable directly into my 1080p Phillips flatscreen. Everything comes through perfect with sound. The "locking" design to keep the cable in performs as well as it should. I'm fully satisfied with this adapter because it works.

4I guess it works, BUT NOT WHAT I NEEDED!Jan 13, 2010
By A. Wiersch
I bought this to run 3 monitors on an ATI 5770. I thought I could use a passive adapter since I did not need dual-link DVI on the monitor I was connecting it to (since it was only 1920x1200). However, it turns out that you NEED an ACTIVE ADAPTER if you want to run 3 monitors. Yes, this will work if you want to run two monitors but in order for the ATI 5770 to be able to output to 3 monitors, one must be NATIVE DisplayPort and it seems that a passive adapter is not considered "native" because when using a passive adapter, it does not actually output a native DisplayPort signal. To convert a native DisplayPort signal to DVI, an active adapter is required.

Additional info: It seems the 5000 series cards have two RAMDACs so they can only output two signals that require a RAMDAC. A native DisplayPort signal does not require a RAMDAC. Because of the two RAMDAC limitation, the only way to get three monitors is to use a native DisplayPort signal because it doesn't require a RAMDAC. Passive converters DO NOT convert native DisplayPort signals and THEREFORE REQUIRE the use of a RAMDAC. Because only 2 RAMDACs are available, a passive adapter, which requires another RAMDAC, won't work for 3 monitor setups.

5Simple, reliable & effectiveNov 27, 2009
By Jay
This little DisplayPort (DP) to DVI adapter works great on my Lenovo T-series notebook. I highly recommend this if you want to use a large monitor but don't like the limitations of the VGA port.

4Works fineMar 09, 2010
By Grejam
My work supplied Lenovo T500 has a Display Port which this works fine with. They seem to be one of the few companies that use DP. Nice resolution. Otherwise I can't have two external screens.
