SKU : POR-SER-712
The Plugable DisplayPort to HDMI active adapter connects your laptop or desktop’s DisplayPort output to virtually any HDMI monitor or TV. Unlike passive level-shifters that cap out at 1080p or 4K@30Hz, this active adapter features an internal pixel clock running up to 594MHz, enabling crisp 4K resolution at 60Hz when paired with a compatible graphics card and display. It's the go-to choice for professional setups and multi-monitor productivity.
Most budget adapters are passive, relying on Dual-Mode DisplayPort (DP++) to convert the signal. If your system’s DisplayPort doesn't output DP++ or you need higher resolutions, a passive adapter will fail. The Plugable active adapter handles the conversion internally, guaranteeing compatibility with a wider range of hardware and delivering the bandwidth needed for 4K@60Hz.
Works with Windows, macOS, ChromeOS, and Linux systems that have a DisplayPort output (including Thunderbolt ports). It supports resolutions up to 4K@60Hz, as well as 1440p and 1080p at 60Hz. Audio is passed through to HDMI, making it ideal for connecting to TVs or monitors with built-in speakers.
No drivers needed—just plug in the adapter and connect your HDMI cable. Its compact design makes it easy to carry for presentations or remote work. Backed by Plugable’s 2-year warranty.
Active conversion supports 4K@60Hz, unlike passive adapters that top out at 1080p or 30Hz.

If you’re setting up a dual-monitor workstation or connecting to a conference room TV, this active adapter ensures you see every detail. It’s especially useful for older laptops that have DisplayPort but lack HDMI, and it’s small enough to keep in a laptop bag. With Plugable’s proven reliability and support, you can order with confidence.
Yes, if your laptop's DisplayPort output and HDMI display both support 4K@60Hz. The adapter has the necessary bandwidth.
A passive adapter relies on DP++ and often limits you to 1080p or 4K@30Hz. This active adapter works with any DisplayPort source and supports higher resolutions.
Yes, if you have a USB-C to DisplayPort cable or adapter. Then use this to convert to HDMI.
Yes, audio is passed through over HDMI, so you can connect to a TV or monitor with speakers.
This active adapter did what my passive ones couldn't. I'm getting a perfect 4K at 60Hz signal. No flicker, no drops. Sturdy build. Very happy.
Easy to set up, just plugged it in and it worked. The display looks great. Only minus is that it gets a little warm after hours of use, but that's normal for active adapters. Good enough.
I was worried my Surface Pro wouldn't support 4K60 via DisplayPort, but this adapter made it happen. The video quality is excellent. Also, the cable is nice and long, which helps with positioning. A must-have for that specific use case.
The adapter works as expected – I could get 4K60 from my laptop's DisplayPort to HDMI TV. However, I wanted to use it in reverse (HDMI to DisplayPort) but it doesn't work that way. It's designed for one-directional use. Just be aware of that.
I use this to connect my gaming laptop to a 4K TV. It delivers a smooth 60Hz signal without any lag. I've played many hours without issues. Highly recommend.
I needed to connect an old GPU with DisplayPort output to an HDMI monitor. This adapter works perfectly. The quality is exactly what you'd expect from a digital signal. I wish it were a bit cheaper, but it's worth it.
I have a dual monitor setup at home, and this adapter allowed me to connect my work laptop (which only has HDMI) to a DisplayPort monitor. The image quality is top-notch, and it's been reliable since I set it up.
Bought this thinking it would work with my Nvidia GPU, but it apparently doesn't support the specific version of DisplayPort. I got a blank screen. Tried a different computer and it worked, so it's a compatibility issue. Wish it had been more universal.
