[worstalentscout]

hi,

if i need to connect the motherboard's DisplayPort1.2 output to a monitor with HDMI input......can i use a passive or i must use an active adaptor ?

many thanks

For this you can probably find some passive options. I could find a couple on amazon though I am not sure if they would plug in to your ports or not. But I generally think going with an active adapter is a better more reasonable choice. Cheers

Also, to avoid wasting money on adapter, first make sure your CPU actually has integrated graphics.

what about those cables that has DisplayPort connector on one end and HDMI connector at other end ?

this is what i have bought numerous times to do this. i keep going back to it since it works very well.

nice quality and tight fit in the port. worth the $10.

do note though the speed you can expect for various resolutions. if you want full speed DP, then you need a monitor that can use the DP natively so you don't lose the performance using the adapter.

as long as quality is still better than VGA , i'm happy.

many thanks !
