Looks sick.

Pardon my ignorance, but can someone explain in layperson terms, how can I put this to work on my laptop and PS5, both simultaneously displaying on my Samsung Odyssey G9 49" ultrawide monitor, if it's possible at all?

Problem is my laptop only has an HDMI port and doesn't have a DP of course, just as the PS5.

The monitor has 1 HDMI and 2 DisplayPorts.

So if I connect the PS5 via the HDMI and the 2 DPs from the monitor go into this device, which in turns connects to the laptop via USBC, will it work?

edit: alternatively, is there a better device I should look for?

p.s. I just need it to work. the Hz, refresh rates, frame rates, resolutions, quality, speed, is secondary. I'm blind to all of that.

In for 1, I've had terrible luck with these in the past. Hopefully this one is stable.

Just depends on your laptop. I'm not the world's foremost expert on this either but I'm pretty sure your laptop would need to support DP over USB-C, which is indicated by a lightning bolt symbol by the USB C port (instead of the branching USB symbol).

If that's the case, you should be set, but you don't need both DP's connected between the dock and the monitor. The monitor has two so you can plug two different devices in, and the dock has two to support dual monitors.

You'll be using the monitor's input switching to go back and forth between HDMI and DP1.

More complicated if you need a specific refresh rate and resolution so that helps.

I checked the manual for your monitor on Samsung's website. I think your monitor actually support simultaneous display natively. You should be able to connect both the laptop and PS5 directly to the monitor, then turn on PIP/PBP mode to have both of them display on the monitor. (Refer to Chapter 6 from the manual. You may need do some experiments to see what setting works best for you)

Yes that's what I was thinking. But the issue was about not having any devices that can natively output thru DP ports.

This device will help there, I suppose?

Let me check on that and report back, when I'm in my office. Good stuff to know. Thanks.

edit: it's the hp pavilion 14" silver one with 11th Gen Intel I think.

It really depends on whether you need the other features or not. If the only thing you need is to connect your laptop to your monitor, then it will be cheaper to just buy a hdmi to dp cable.

If you buy this adpater, you will end up having to grab an additional dp to dp cable if you don't have an extra already. Though, the main benefit is that you will get a few extra usb ports, ethernet, and extra dp port in case if you need it for something in the future.

The issue with some of the G9s is the HDMI is 2.0, not 2.1, so from the PS5 you won't be getting 48gb bandwidth, and PS5 next gen games should have HDMI ports with 4k capabilities. I'm not sure how PS5 will perform without a 4k hdmi 2.1 cable so you may want to look into that. Regarding usb-c to DP, you don't need this device you can just beg a USB-C to DP cable (making sure USB-C has the right data bandwidth you need) and plug it straight form your laptop to the monitor. If you want PS5 support, there is a special cable that converts the HDMI signal to DP giving it the full bandwidth the PS5 can use. Not sure if I can add an amazon link but the here's the description of that cable. It's about $50 though: "8K HDMI 2.1 to DisplayPort 1.4 Adapter Cable USB Powered 6.6ft, BolAAzuL Newly HDMI to DP Cable 8K/30Hz 4K/120Hz 2K/144Hz, HDMI Source to Display Port Monitor Video Converter Cable 2m Braided -H21DP14"

Gotcha.

I don't need the other features, per se, but will be nice to consolidate.

I had an HDMI to DP but turns out most are unidirectional, at least the cheap ones.

The bidirectional ones are pricey.

This hits the notes for the price.

I've got a spare DP to DP cable, so this might be it.

Thanks.

I was thinking of a direct USBC to DP device, but this unit brings extra features and an additional DP port, all for a low low price of $27, so looks really appealing.

That special cable for PS5 compatible sure sounds nice, but I'm hoping to not spend too much, solving a problem that isn't crucial to fix.
