          It's more about common sense.

          The description of the deal should be about the deal and what is relevant to the deal. If you want to discuss Epstein, you can probably find a section in the OzBargain forums where other people are willing to discuss this with you.

          It would be annoying and detract from the overall viewership experience of ozbargain if every deal posted had a completely unrelated, off topic political/other theory included in the description.

          The mods do a pretty good job here fixing posts and whatnot. It is absolutely reasonable and lands well within the boundary of common sense to edit out your Epstein reference. Don't act like it's some violation of your free speech, just take it to the forums.

      From the looks, it's just a pass through adapter. Meaning your display port need to be a DP++ (Should be printed next to the port) for it to work.

      • madpig83 on 01/01/2023 - 08:00

          Cable specs are a hot mess. Just get ready to return if it doesn't work for you.

          After a bit of googling. it seems dp does supply 3.3v power.

    This may be an active adapter but not the kind with chips that converts HDMI signals back to DP. This only does DP to HDMI which is the same as all other passive adapters out there.

    If you’re trying to connect your HDMI source to DP, the kind of adapters you should look for almost always comes with a cable (not just a small adapter) and USB power, if not a relatively-sized box.

    • PainToad on 01/01/2023 - 09:21

      Passive can't do 4k/60, only 4k/30. So not the same.

      • xmagic on 01/01/2023 - 09:22

        See the context please. I don’t think we’re talking about the same thing here.

        I was referring to the direction. Yes, you’re right HDMI 2.0+ will require additional chip in the adapter to ensure signal integrity.

          • xmagic on 01/01/2023 - 12:34

            @PainToad: The point is that active adapters used to be used widely for HDMI to DP adapters as they need chips and power to function (again, most DP to HDMI adapters doesn't need chip and power). I found this very confusing when I was purchasing back then.

    • Nom on 01/01/2023 - 10:30

      This is Display Port to HDMI.

      These are one way adaptors.

      If you need HDMI to Display Port then you'll need to buy something else.

      This only does DP to HDMI which is the same as all other passive adapters out there.

      No.

      This is an ACTIVE adapter. It converts the Display Port signal to an HDMI signal.

      • xmagic on 01/01/2023 - 12:40

        DP is clocked signal while HDMI is not. That's why most DP to HDMI adapters back then are chipless and active adapter means quite differently. It just works.

        Active DP to HDMI adapters only surface in recent years due to high bandwidth and signal integrity requirements. It can be confusing as there's a sizable group of people believe active adapters can convert HDMI source to DP, not realising the chip inside this one is not for the missing clock signal.

          That's why most DP to HDMI adapters back then are chipless and active adapter means quite differently. It just works.

          The chipless DP to HDMI cables are not active. They don't work with some ports.

          The active adaptors (like this one) will work with any Display Port.

          Active DP to HDMI adapters only surface in recent years due to high bandwidth and signal integrity requirements.

          No. The active adaptors exist because they work with any Display Port. Avoid the old chipless type.

          a sizable group of people believe active adapters can convert HDMI source to DP,

          I'm not sure why you keep bringing up HDMI to DP.

          This deal is for the other way around. It will convert a Display Port output from your computer, to an HDMI input on your display.

          That's the only way it will work.

          Converting HDMI to Display Port is entirely opposite and not relevent here. But if for some reason you do need to do this, you can - but you need to buy a different thing https://www.amazon.com.au/gp/product/B08HGSGVXD

        • Russ on 01/01/2023 - 18:29

          DP is clocked signal while HDMI is not.

          That's not correct, but it's close. HDMI is definitely clocked, for the video data there are three pairs of data wires, and one pair of wires for video data clock. There are also other wires, but they're not for video data.

          The problem is that HDMI just spits out the video data directly, while DP packetizes that information. Passive converters can't remove the packet headers, that requires some smarts in the converter.

          Wikipedia is your friend, third paragraph of the DP page https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DisplayPort

          It is the first display interface to rely on packetized data transmission

          Passive converters only work because many DP-sending devices can detect the HDMI device they're connected to, and send (somewhat) HDMI-compatible signals out the DP port. Such DP ports are labeled "DP++".

          I say "somewhat" compatible, because the HDMI signals have 3.3V logic levels, and DP signals have 2.5V logic levels. So it puts out HDMI-type signals at the lower DP logic levels, and not all HDMI devices are happy with the lower voltage. I have a KVM in the "not happy" group, and it took me a LONG time to dig out why it doesn't work, even with a DP++ port on the computer. An active converter cured my problems.

    • spaceflight on 02/01/2023 - 08:28

      It's called DP to HDMI not HDMI to DP.

      If you want to go HDMI to DP then you need a HDMI to DP converter.
      DP can output the HDMI standard.
      HDMI cannot output the DP standard.

      You must get very confused when someone says something like "I'm driving from Melbourne to Sydney" and then they don't arrive in Melbourne.

  • digitale on 01/01/2023 - 10:37

    The item's description lacks some details, so I suspect this active adapter can only do YCbCr 4:2:0, not YCbCr 4:4:4 at 4k 60Hz.
    Anything lower than YCbCr 4:4:4 is not really suitable for a computer monitor, only for movies. It's a trick so they can claim 4k 60Hz.
    When you receive the adapter, test it (at 4k 60Hz) using this image with no scaling (in Windows->Display setting, set scale/zoom to 100%).

    • Nom on 01/01/2023 - 11:11

      There's generally only two types of these adaptors - the ones limited to 4K30 and the ones that support full 4K60 4:4:4.

      I've never seen one with a 4:2:0 limitation 🤷🏼‍♂️

      • digitale on 01/01/2023 - 11:35

        I bought this that only does 4k 60Hz 4:2:0, even though the description states "Supports HDMI 2.0a data rates up to 18GB/s". I messaged the seller and got a refund though.

        You can check the reviews for other adapters to get an idea.

        This adapter states 4k 60Hz 4:4:4
        Another one that does 4k 60Hz 4:4:4 or 4k120Hz 4:2:x.

    • stephendt on 01/01/2023 - 11:43

      I have this adapter. It can do 4k 60hz all day at 4:4:4 RGB

      • digitale on 13/01/2023 - 20:29

        You may be able to choose RGB/YCbCr 4:4:4 as that's what the adaptor is telling the video card what it's capable of, but it's actually only capable of YCbCr 4:2:x.
        That's why you need to test it using the test image (see my comment below for details).
        I tested this WAVLINK Active DP to HDMI Adapter, and it failed (not capable of RGB/YCbCr 4:4:4).

    • Russ on 01/01/2023 - 18:11

      test it (at 4k 60Hz) using this image

      I did that, but I don't know what would indicate a "fail".

      I'm using a different active DP to HDMI adaptor, CRUXTEC brand, and I see 18 lines of "the quick brown fox…" interspersed with 18 lines of closely-spaced vertical bars.

      However, the first two "The quick…" lines are red, next two yellow, and so on, except for the last two lines which are blue-on-red and red-on-blue. Should each line be a different colour if the adaptor is 4:4:4 capable?

      It would be good if we had reference JPEGs (at lower resolution so they do display properly on all monitors), to know whether the test image gives a "pass" or "fail" indication.

        Sorry I just saw your post today.
        I've uploaded images of what a "fail" looks like https://imgur.com/a/bnhGKr8 these images are from an adapter I bought from AliExpress.
        Basically the adaptor is telling your video card that it's capable of RGB/YCbCr 4:4:4 but it's actually not. That's why you need to test it using the test image.
        Before testing, make sure that:
        - Resolution is set at 3840x2160 at 60Hz, output color to RGB/YCbCr 4:4:4. Also output color depth/output dynamic range, etc to max.
        - In Windows, make sure there's no scaling. In Windows->Display setting, set scale/zoom to 100%
        - In the image viewer/editor that you're using to view the test image, make sure it's set at 100%, not zoomed in.

        Also, I bought this WAVLINK Active DP to HDMI Adapter out of curiosity, and as expected, it doesn't do RGB/YCbCr 4:4:4. I can choose RGB as that's what the adaptor is reporting to the video card, but it failed the test image.

        • Russ on 13/01/2023 - 23:19

          Thanks for that, now I can see what a "fail" looks like:

          • on some lines (particularly the lowest two) it looks like every second horizontal pixel is a duplicate of the pixel to its left;
          • on some lines every second vertical line is white, and every second horizontal pixel in the text is also white.

          I'm guessing that if you zoom in to 4:1 with the image viewer, the zoomed-in image will look mostly correct, it's only when you set 1:1 scale that you'll see the distortions in their full glory.

    Tough thread, I don't know why everyone is so confused.

    Here's the basics :

    1. Always assume video convertors are one way. Generally they are not bidirectional.

    2. Always buy Active convertors, they work with everything - passive convertors do not work with some ports.

    3. Always buy 4K60 convertors for future proofing - cheaper adaptors are often limited to 4K30.

    4. That's it 🤷🏼‍♂️

    I've been meaning to get 2 of these next time they were cheap.

    At home I use a laptop (thunderbolt 4 port) to connect to 2x 4K 60hz displays (DP1.4) via one of these docks - which has worked flawlessly for almost a year.

    In the office I figured I could simply connect to the office 1080p HDMI monitors using the same dock, via some cheap DP to HDMI cables (same cables which work with my PC going from DP to HDMI)…

    But nope. To work with the thunderbolt 3 dock, I need to add these active adapters, apparently..

    I think these adapters have a pretty specific use case, most people will have no use for them.
