UGREEN 8K@60Hz DisplayPort to HDMI Adapter, Active DP 1.4 to HDMI 2.1, 2-Pack
Product description
The active DisplayPort-to-HDMI conversion lets a PC or laptop with a DisplayPort output connect to an HDMI monitor, projector or TV. This two-pack is intended for a one-way connection, rather than converting an HDMI source to a DisplayPort screen.
UGREEN lists support for resolutions up to 8K@60Hz, with 4K modes up to 144Hz also specified. The actual mode depends on the connected source and display.
Plug-and-play operation means no driver installation is required, which keeps adding a screen straightforward when the ports and supported display modes match.
The essentials
The adapter connects a DisplayPort source to an HDMI display. It is described as active, supports HDCP 2.3 and EDID, and is backwards compatible with earlier DisplayPort and HDMI versions listed by UGREEN. It also supports HDR 10+ and 3D, VRR is listed as a feature, though buyer reports about compatibility with variable refresh features are mixed.
The silver aluminium-alloy housing is a practical detail for a connector that may stay attached behind a PC or monitor. Buyers have praised the build and reported good results with high-resolution modes, including 4K at 120Hz with HDR. Feedback on reliability and compatibility is less consistent: some say it works well, while others describe signal or ongoing-use problems. A few also report that the adapter gets hot during use, so it is worth allowing for that when positioning it.
Practical tips
Check that the computer or graphics card has a DisplayPort output and that the screen accepts HDMI. Match the resolution and refresh rate to what both ends support, the headline maximum does not mean every source-and-display combination will reach it. If you need two connections, the pack provides two adapters, but each still serves the same DisplayPort-to-HDMI direction.
Worth considering if you are adding an HDMI screen to a DisplayPort-equipped desktop or laptop and want support for higher-resolution display modes. Not the best choice if your setup needs the reverse direction, from HDMI output to a DisplayPort monitor.
Usage tips
Connect the adapter between the DisplayPort output and the HDMI cable or display input, then select the relevant screen input. No extra driver or setup is specified. For gaming, check the required resolution, refresh rate and VRR support against your particular equipment rather than assuming all listed features work together in every setup. If a mode does not appear, start by checking the display settings and the capabilities of both connected devices.
Before you decide
Can it connect an HDMI source to a DisplayPort display? No. The connection is unidirectional: DisplayPort source to HDMI display.
Does it require a driver? UGREEN describes it as plug-and-play, with no driver or additional setup required.
Which resolutions are listed? The stated maximum is 8K@60Hz, with 4K up to 144Hz and other lower-resolution modes also listed. Your source and display must support the mode you want to use.
Should you buy it?
Choose this two-pack when you need to connect DisplayPort outputs to HDMI screens and the devices support the resolution and refresh rate you intend to use. It offers a more capable route than a basic adapter limited to standard display modes, but buyer feedback points to some variation in compatibility and stability. For a setup that depends on a specific VRR feature or needs HDMI-to-DisplayPort conversion, check those requirements before choosing this direction of adapter.
