Question HDMI port problem

[HisoHiso]

Hello, my hdmi port that i use to connect my pc to my monitor and to my projector is problematic and needs to be replaced. I bought this (https://www.skroutz.gr/s/7121984/Powertech-Μετατροπέας-DVI-D-male-σε-HDMI-female-ADA-H003.html) in hopes of solving the problem but it didnt fix it. What should i do in this case? Does it need to get replaced somehow or is there a way to get around the problem? I was about to go to a store to find a solution but considered asking here firstly.

Port on the right looks like Display port which should be same as HDMI.

Well not exactly....

Yes that port on the right is a Display Port, and although the purpose is the same (video output to a monitor) it is NOT the same as HDMI, especially if the OP doesn't have a DisplayPort cable and/or if their monitor doesn't have a DP-input port...

And the adapter the OP linked to may or may not work, as converting a DVI output signal (the port on the left, which is what that adapter is for) to an HDMI input is not always a given either, depending on capabilities of their monitor...

so should i get a new cable for that part and try it? like, that port on one end of the cable, hdmi on the other end? and which keyword should i search for to find the correct cable for that port?

so what do you propose i do after all then?

DP has same signal as HDMI so adapter is simpler than from DVI, that way you can use HDMI cable you already have, There are also cables with HDMI and DP ends.

Well, if your monitor has a DisplayPort input, just buy a cable with DP connectors on both ends and be done with it...

If not, then get a DP-to-HDMI cable and plug the DP part into your video card output, and the HDMI end into your monitor.

Be careful NOT to get an HDMI-to-DP cable though, which would be the exact opposite and can not be interchanged with a DP-to-HDMI , which would be the one you need if your monitor has a DP input.
