Not bi-directional. So make sure you are going DP to HDMI and not the other way around. On the plus side, there's a bunch in excellent quality for $0.99 - $1.29 through Amazon Warehouse because people do not understand what bi-directional means. Or other non bi-directional cables that fit your needs.

There's also a 4k@60Hz option. You might want this option if you use a KVM switch or a dock.

Thanks for the heads-up, in for a couple of VG's for $1.28/ea, most of the time I need one of these, they're being used on 1080p screens anyway so it's not a problem.

I am definitly one of those people. I bought 2 last time it was posted. https://slickdeals.net/f/16330939-amazon-basics-displayport-to-hdmi-adapter-4k-30hz-2-60?page=4#comments

Could you make a recommendation for one that would work I guess for the inverse? I had monitors that were HDMI and now my new on is DP only. Was looking at getting an adaptor instead of buying new cables.

Will this work on daisy chain monitors?
I have a monitor with DP output. Can I use it to input HDMI to the second monitor?

There arent hardly any when it comes to DP<->HDMI. You just have to make sure the adaptor you are buying is going in the correct direction. If I recall correctly, it has something to do with limitations of the HDMI audio. So if your computer has a DP port and your monitor has an HDMI port, get a DP to HDMI. If your computer has an HDMI port and your monitor has a DP, get an HDMI to DP. (Source to Destination)

Thanks! Yeah I figured getting all new cables was the way to go but was going for the quick/cheap $2 shortcut.

Perfect for all those refurbished Dell OptiPlex, HP ProDesk/EliteDesk and other business PCs that have VGA and DisplayPort but NOT HDMI. Those off-lease PCs are everywhere on Amazon Woot eBay BestBuy DellRefurbished etc etc. Even if your monitor has DP input, this is cheaper than buying a DP cable (and everyone has a ton of HDMI cables already).

The new ones still include DPs. I'm part of a refresh project coming up and have over 120 Dell OptiPlex 5000 Micro's coming, and they all have dual DP. But the monitors are not being refreshed and over 90% of them have DVI and HDMI ports. LMAO

I got this a few weeks ago. Note that this is a passive adapter; not an active one. In some use cases you need an active adapter.

I bought this for my Steam Deck dock (the official one from Valve). It works fine by itself, but it wouldn't work when both the HDMI port and the DisplayPort are connected. I could only output to one monitor (either in Desktop Mode, or in Windows). Then I read that it works only with an active adapter, so I bought one. Unfortunately that didn't work either, so I wasted money on that as well. Eventually connected a native cable, and only then did I get dual monitors to output.

Anyway, long story short - it works, but if you are considering it for the Steam deck dock, then don't go for it. It'll work for a single monitor (in which case you might as well connect the HDMI cable to the HDMI port), but not for dual monitor setup.

Do they make HDMI to DP adapters like this?
