[SOLVED] Display port to HDMI TV getting static

[frymillstrum]

I'm using a display port to HDMI cable to connect my pc (GTX 1050) to a Samsung Smart TV and I'm getting little bits of static accross the screen but only when there are multiple colours, it is noticeable in videos as well but when playing a black screen video on YT everything is solid black, no static. Could this be down to a cheap/dodgy cable or is there something else going on? Here are the specifications of the cable I got from eBay. I had no problems when I was using HDMI to HDMI

• Connection A - 20 pin Display Port
• Connection B - 19 pin HDMI Type A
• Attractive Black assembly
• 1920 x 1200 resolutions
• Supports video-mirroring and extended desktop modes

• Compliant with HDMI 1.3a specification up to 2.25Gbps
• Compliant with DVI 1.1 specification up to 1.65Gbps
• PC:VGA, SVGA, VGA, SXGA, UXGA and UXGA

Any help is appreciated

Your adapter or cables might not be very good and can't support those higher resolutions.
