+ Comes with a troubleshooting card, but I didn't need it. + HDMI connector fits tightly in the monitor's HDMI port, no falling our or wabbling + USB C connector fits tightly in the USB C port, no falling out or wabbling. This one just works, full resolution and full audio with no lag. Previous ones didn't work at all, or video worked but not audio, or only supported a lower resolution than my monitor, etc. + Plug it in and it just works! I've tried numerous USB-C to HDMI adapters but this is the FIRST one that just works right. That's tasteful and works well at home or in a professional office.

The Uni brand is on the top of the adapter but in the same color as the finish so it barely shows. + Build quality is excellent, metal shell, braided cable, good strain relief - it's very well made. The symbol is a D with a P inside, with two + signs to the left, one on top of the other ( Figure 4).Lots of details in other reviews so let's just head straight to the Pros and Cons. To check whether you can use a passive adapter, is to see if the DisplayPort, or Mini DisplayPort source has the DP++ symbol above it. Passive adapters are less expensive since they do not need to include additional chips ( Figure 3). Check with your video card manufacturer to confirm which type of adapter you need for the setup that you would like to run ( Figure 1 & 2). This is especially true if the computer has more than one DisplayPort or Mini DisplayPort connection. You should use an active adapter because some video cards cannot run the maximum number of monitors while using DP++. If you want to use multiple monitors with the same computer. This means that active adapters are more expensive than passive adapters. To run multiple monitors from the same computer, see the Active Adapters section below.Īctive adapters use additional chips to make the conversion inside the adapter, regardless of whether the source supports DP++.

If the source does not support DP++, then you must use an active converter, which includes additional chips to perform the conversion. If the source supports dual-mode DisplayPort (also known as DP++), then you can use a passive adapter because the source can perform the conversion. Consider the difference between passive and active adapters. When you convert video from a source that uses DisplayPort or Mini DisplayPort to DVI or HDMI (ex: a computer to a monitor). What is the difference between a passive and active DisplayPort converter? Most adapters only carry a one-way signal. There are two types of conversion adapters that can be used, the first is an active adapter, and the second is a passive adapter type. There has been some confusion when using HDMI to DisplayPort (DP) or the opposite way adapters on Dell computers.
