UGREEN HDMI to DisplayPort cable 2m for gaming

This active HDMI to DisplayPort cable from UGREEN, measuring 2 metres, converts an HDMI output to a DisplayPort input for connecting laptops, consoles and media players to DP monitors or projectors. It aims to deliver higher-resolution video and smoother refresh rates when feeding a display from an HDMI source, making it useful for gaming setups and multi-screen workstations.

Key Points

The cable supports single-direction transmission only, from HDMI source to DisplayPort display. That means it will not carry a signal from DisplayPort to HDMI, so check the direction of the ports before connecting. It includes a USB-A power lead to stabilise the signal when the HDMI source cannot supply sufficient power, and this USB connection cannot transfer data or charge the host.

For gamers the cable can handle high frame rates at lower resolutions and higher resolution at standard refresh. It is compatible with HDR and adaptive sync technologies from the display side, which helps when using variable refresh rate capable monitors. Note that according to the manufacturer VRR is not supported.

This adapter is plug and play on common operating systems and can be used for both mirrored and extended desktop modes, which helps when expanding a workstation or sending game output to an external monitor 🎮.

Usage Recommendations

Connect the USB-A power lead to a USB port on your computer or to a USB power adaptor if you experience unstable output. For high refresh rates use the appropriate resolution settings in your graphics driver and on the display for the best result. When using consoles set the console output to the resolution that matches the monitor capabilities to avoid unnecessary upscaling or frame rate limitations.

If your setup requires bi-directional conversion this cable will not meet that need because it is expressly non-bidirectional. Also consider that some advanced VRR implementations may not be available through this adapter, so verify specific features with the display and GPU manufacturer when these functions are critical 🔌.
