Thank you so much for trying to help. I'm probably seeing what you see. The direction of the signal is reversed on this adaptor. I took a look to find one that's from HDMI to DP. There's ones that have a USB and the HDMI that plugs to the computer and the DP that goes to the VR headset. The first one I looked at even stated it is not for use with VR head sets. I started to look at others but they don't even mention anything about VR head sets. I'm so stumped. I bought this laptop for $2K on a great sale. It has great hardware. But, I bought it for VR head sets.

I wanted to let you know that I've found out my laptop has a USB-C port that supports DP output. My USB-C port has that symbol ( D ) that represents the capability of Display Port. I'm looking for an adaptor that will work between my Laptop and my VR Pimax 5K.

Looking for adaptor going from USB-C (DP) to a display port on my VR Pimax 5K headset.
I'm finding these adaptors but having trouble finding something that has a refresh rate fast enough. 60hz isn't fast enough. I'm looking for something over 120hz.

Where can I get the fastest refresh rate; USB-C to Display Port adaptor.

I think the issue you're going to have is that the headset won't be recognized properly after the conversion. I don't know - in the past I used an active HDMI to DP adapter without issue, but that's going the other way.

That's good to know.
I guess I'll try the HDMI to DP like you did and I'll pick up the USB-C to DP and give both of them a try. I'm guessing that won't fry anything. It might take a few days to get these adaptors. After I get them and test I'll post the results.

Thanks for your advice.
