BENFEI HDMI to DisplayPort, Uni-Directional HDMI (Source) to DisplayPort (Display) Adapter 4K@60Hz/2K@144Hz/1080P@165Hz Compatible with Laptop, Xbox 360 One, PS4 PS3 Device

First of all, let me make it clear that I am reviewing the HDMI to DisplayPort adapter. The Raspberry Pi has an HDMI display connector, and I am using the Benfei to see the Pi's video on a monitor that has a Displayport connector. To get HDMI video to appear on a DisplayPort monitor, you need more than just a connector. The Benfei actively converts the video from HDMI to DisplayPort. It has a USB power connector to power the electronics that do the conversion. My Asus monitor has HDMI and DisplayPort connections. My regular home computer uses the monitor's HDMI port, and the Benfei lets me connect the Raspberry Pi's HDMI connector to the monitor's DisplayPort. It works fine. The Raspberry Pi 4 can drive the display at its 2560x1440 max resolution. (Sorry, I don't remember whether the Pi 3 video supports that resolution.) The Benfei has a USB cable that must be connected to 5 volts. That can be done with one of the Pi's USB ports or with any regular 5 volt supply. The Benfei draws 120 milliamps from its USB connection. To use the Benfei with a Raspberry Pi 3, the connections are Raspberry Pi HDMI port Benfei device DisplayPort to DisplayPort cable Monitor DisplayPort connector The Raspberry Pi 4 has Micro HDMI, so I had to also buy a Micro HDMI to HDMI adapter cable. To use the Benfei with a Raspberry Pi 4, the connections are Raspberry Pi Micro HDMI port Micro HDMI to HDMI adapter cable Benfei device DisplayPort to DisplayPort cable Monitor DisplayPort connector UPDATE March 17, 2023 I tried the device with a Raspberry Pi 4, and it plays a 1080P youtube video smoothly without dropping frames.

It works well, granted I'm not stressing it much. Using it to run a 1080p 20" secondary monitor that mainly displays static images for my gaming setup, so I have no idea how this would perform running a 4k TV running a game or something, but for my use case it works well and I have had zero issues with it! Even when I'm watching videos on that secondary monitor I've had no issues whatsoever. No hitches, hitches, visual packet loss, overheating of the device, etc. Again, I'm also not stressing this thing at all. Very low workload. Make sure you do your research however as these are unidirectional and need a separate power source via usb-a. In my case that was perfect.

Works flawlessly. Purchased a laptop with HDMI out. My external monitor supports both HDMI and DisplayPort. The HDMI only goes up to 60Hz. The DisplayPort goes all the way up to 165Hz. Instead of buying a new monitor that supports 2k 240fps and 480fps at 1080, I decided to purchase this for the time being. Works great. The male USB A connects perfectly to my turtle beach stealth hub for power. Highly recommended. Check out other adapters and you'll see that they probably don't support the same high refresh rates pertaining to the given resolutions.

The adapter arrived very nicely packaged. The adapter is very well made with the hdmi adapter side a black aluminum housing protecting the powered conversion chip. Keep in mind, this adapter is ONLY for an hdmi source (dvr, laptop computer, etc.) with a DisplayPort input (monitor or input to a recorder, etc.). A DisplayPort cable (DisplayPort plugs at each end) is required to connect the adapter to the input side. It will not work from a DisplayPort source to an hdmi input, don't even try it. Benefi Makes an adapter for that situation also. I know that because, I bought that one first thinking it was bi-diectional . . . It isn't! The adapter works well with 4k, 30Hz video. My DVR doesn't have 4k, 60 Hz to confirm if this works or not. The one thing that needs to be improved is the USB port hookup. Most DVRs only have one USB port on the back which is reserved for a wired/wireless mouse/keyboard connection. Luckily, the front of my DVR has a second USB port for connecting a USB drive for downloading video from the DVR. That means for the times I need that feature, I have to find a monitor hdmi port (ie disconnect one already in use, hence the need for the DisplayPort adapter) and find/relocate an hdmi to hdmi cable to connect the DVR, then relocate the USB mouse/keyboard connection to the back of the DVR where the DisplayPort adapter was previously connected. Not difficult but a PITA if a separate hdmi cable is not readily available, or if this situation comes up more than once. Benefi needs to have the USB connection as a "Y" cable with power and data going to a second USB receptacle. Only power should be needed by the adapter, not data, so the data lines would be a straight pass through. A separate USB hub would have to be purchased/re-purposed to fix this, but updating the adapter to eliminate this need would be the best approach for the customer buying this adapter.

This doesn't work lol. Don't waste your time or money trying this. Didn't even display output at all on my brand new series x console. However, it did work using my elgato as a middle point, which did not work with 1440p 120hz. My monitor is 165hz -_- 4k. Don't buy this trash device

I too, also have a monitor that will only allow up to 144hz via display port. After trying other adapters, I received this one today and I was able to connect my Xbox Series S to my Benq Xl2411p and the image produced instantly. I then proceeded to go to the settings on my Xbox (Tv and Display Options) selected 120hz on the drop-down menu (previously locked at 60hz) asked to keep refresh rate and I selected confirm. Highly impressed with this product, does exactly what it was supposed to do with 0 issues. Also, I am very appreciative of the fact that the power supply cord on this device actually has some length to it.

This is a review of the product in reference to Oculus Rift S on my Acer Nitro 5 AN-515-55. I like many others mistakingly bought an Oculus Rift S thinking it would be HDMI capable. After realizing I would either need to sell the headset or find an adapter I searched tirelessly through the internet. Most forms I came across stated an adapter for DP to HDMI would be impossible due to the amount of information that needs transferred. I took this at face value and looked for USB C or 3.0 connectors instead with no luck. Luckily I did come across this listing and I can say this works 100%. The refresh rate is definitely 80hz and the resolution is great. It feels just like an Oculus Quest. I played about 2 hours of Skyrim VR and Borderlands VR prior to this review and encountered no issues. (P.S. if you get a black desktop screen in the Oculus software make sure the app is running on your CPU instead of GPU in "Graphics Settings" on windows) All in all I couldn't be happier with the product but I will be upgrading soon since a GTX 1650TI isn't great for VR. I would highly recommend this product for Oculus Rift S users.

The adapter worked as advertised and matched the PC resolution to the capabilities of the Dell display as expected. As long as there was a signal present at the output of the computer there was no complaint. HOWEVER, as soon as the computer monitor output went to sleep the adapter stopped passing the EDID information from the display back to the Graphics card in the PC, and then the PC resolution would change to another (higher) resolution that the monitor would not accept. This causes an error message to show on the display and the display would never go to sleep. A mouse movement to wake the display would NOT bring the monitor back on. The only way to get the monitor back was to cycle the power on the monitor. I bought another brand unit for the home PC to monitor that does not have this issue; I will keep this unit in my kit bag for a rainy day.

私の悩みを解決してくれました。大手家電量販店3店舗回りましたが、このHDMIからディスポートケーブルに接続する製品は販売されていませんでした。唯一Amazonで見つけて購入しました。HDMI出力端子しかない。デスクトップのパソコンからディスポートplay端子しかないモニターとの接続ができました。

Oldukça işime yaradı. Kaliteli, Teşekkürler

Habe einen Asus VG248QE Monitor mit 144hz und wollte gerne auf der PS5 mit 120hz Spielen. Leider sind die aber nur über den DisplayPort erreichbar und nicht über HDMI. Habe sehr lange im Internet nach einer Lösung recherchiert, bis ich auf diesen Adapter gestoßen bin. Habe ihn bestellt und ausprobiert und siehe da: Es Funktioniert ! Wichtig ist das man in der PS5 die Auflösung auf 1080p stellt und den Leistungsmodus aktiviert und natürlich ein spiel startet, welches 120hz unterstützt. Seit dem neuen Update wird auch kein EDID mehr benötigt einfach den Adapter in die PS5 und zum Monitor ein DisplayPort 1.2 Kabel. Fertig!

Works flawlessly with the xbox series s. Hook your monitor up though this cable. (You need a display port cable, not a hdmi) Go to Settings, General, TV & display options, Video fidelity & over scan, and then under Display, set the overrides to hdmi. Go back to the 'TV & display options' and here you can set your 1080p 120hz. I don't have a 1440p monitor so I can't test if all the resolutions are perfect but it works amazing for me and my resolution. Very happy 🙂

Molto contento dell'acquisto, funziona perfettamente con la mia xbox serie x, permettendomi di godermi i 120 fps senza dover cambiare monitor. (Il mio monitor ha una presa hdmi vecchia che arriva massimo fino a 60 hz ma grazie a questo cavo posso sfruttare la presa dp) ottimo.
