Yoga micro-HDMI to Displayport options

I'd like to get video from a Yoga with micro-HDMI output (female) to a monitor with (normal) DisplayPort input (female).
I've looked around and there don't seem to be many good solutions for this. Aparently HDMI to DisplayPort is not possible without an active adapter? The best I've been able to come to is:
1) Monoprice high speed micro HDMI (male) to HDMI (female)
then
2) Cable Matters HDMI (male) to DisplayPort Converter (female) - this plugs in USB for power
then
3) DisplayPort cable (male to male)
Are there any better solutions for this? That's $55+ just to get to DisplayPort. I also think the Cable matters converter will likely send at max 1080p signal.
Thank you for your input(s).

What model of monitor is it, if it is a DP++ input it should be able to use a passive adapter but will be limited to I believe up to 1920x1200.
I own a Y510p SLI, and Yoga 2 Pro

  • DVI, HDMI or DisplayPort

    Hello,
    I'm a Windows user but getting a rMBP 15". I was wondering which would be the best way to hookup an external monitor to the MacBook?
    I have a high-end 27" monitor with 2560x1440 resolution (LG 27EA83)  that has dual-link DVI, HDMI, and DisplayPort connectors. Since I can get a Thunderbolt DVI connector for the rMBP, but the laptop also has HDMI and DisplayPort connectors as well, which one of these would suited the best to connect the monitor to the rMBP?
    Since I have no speakers, at this point I'm only focusing on display quality and don't care for audio.
    Thanks.
    PS: In case if I were also concerned about audio, would you recommend HDMI or DisplayPort?

    Conveniently, I did order a DVD-D cable by sheer luck. I just picked the first one that had male connectors at both ends.
    Now that I've got that in place, I seem to only be able to get a max resolution of 19290 x 1080 according to the options I see in the Display control panel. I've got the DVI-D cable out from the monitor and into a DVI to mini-display port adapter that connects to a Thunderbolt port on the rMPB.
    I think the display is now a little sharper than when I was using the HDMI connector, but that could just be my imagination.
    Time to start Googling this to see if I can sort out higher resolutions.
    I had no idea there was so much variation in cable type when it came to this stuff.
    Thanks for your help!
    UPDATED: I finally did what should have in the first place and looked up the specs on the monitor I purchased. 1920 x 1080 is the highest resolution the monitor offers. I can live with that. It's still nearly 2x as large as my rMPB's 15" screen. [http://www.lg.com/us/monitors/lg-27EA33V-led-monitor]

  • Wifi / networking drops as soon as micro HDMI connected

    I saw an earlier post similar to this, but it was closed without response by the original poster.
    I have a Yoga 2 Pro with the most recent available network and graphics drivers.  Whenever I plug the micro HDMI in to a working monitor (in this case a micro HDMI to HDMI connector to an ASUS 27" monitor), the network connection drops.  As soon as I unplug the micro HDMI (from either end of the connection), the network connectivity is restored.

    Really baffling.  While the HDMI cable is plugged in, none of the typical network actions fixes it:
    - Disable/renable the Wifi driver
    - Reboot
    - Uninstall/reinstall the Wifi driver
    - WIndows troubleshooter
    Any help appreciated.  Thanks!

  • How do I connect Monitor without HDMI (but DVI-D) to laptop with micro-HDMI?

    I have a Samsung NP900x400D-A02US laptop... the video connections are:
    - a micro-HDMI
    - a "monitor port" (which the manual says supports 15 pin D-Sub interface.. or you can connect VGA adapter),
    I would like to buy the Dell Ultrasharp u2412M which has 1900x1200 resolution.... BUT it does not have an HDMI port.  It has:
    - a display port
    - VGA input
    - DVI-D with HDCP Input
    - USB ports (but I don't think it's the kind that will allow me to hook up thge monitor to the laptop with USB)
    How the heck do I connect the 2 of these... in a way that retains the 1900x1200 resolution?    if I can't find a good way I might have to find another monitor with HDMI....
    Thanks so much for your help!   It's a bit frustrating to sort through it all....

    I ended up finding it by item #, because I would have missed it, too.  I wasn't sure if the product image was correct until I saw  this: 
    Connector on First End: 1 x HDMI (Micro Type D) Male Digital Audio/Video
    You got it figured out. Hooks up exactly like you said. HDMI and DVI will result in same picture quality, but as you mentioned, HDMI doesn't carry audio. They are the same, for all intents and purposes, in all other regards.
    The DVI cable should have thumbscrews on each end, to help secure it at each end. The Adapter I linked has 'receptors' for the thumb screws, so the connection will be secure. The monitor should have the same 'receptors' for thumb screws. The weakest point of the connection, physically, will be the Micro-HDMI, so just be careful to not put pressure on that connection. 

  • HP LP2275w Monitor HDMI to DisplayPort possible?

    Hello forum, 
    In the proccess of connecting my monitor HP LP2275w to computer HP Pavillion. The computer has HDMI and VGA output, the monitor has DVI and DisplayPort inputs. Recently bought a HDMI to DisplayPort adapter, in order to use the HDMI-cord, but it does not work. My computer does not "find"the monitor what so ever. 
    Why does the adapter not work? Do I need som sort of drive-updates? 
    Hopefully the forum has all the answers.

    Hi,
    In theory they are BOTH using digital signals therefore just straight one to one BUT practicality, this is a hit and miss business in many cases. Back to your connection: have you tried to use F4 key which tells the machine to send signals to the monitor ?
    Regards.

  • Going from video card w/ micro hdmi & 2 dvi into monitor w/ 2 hdmi & 1 vga; ??

    trying to determine which would give me the best resolution.  video card has 2 dvi and 1 micro hdmi outs; monitor has 2 regular hdmi and 1 vga.  would the micro hdmi to a regular hdmi work best or would a dvi to hdmi give better resolution.  getting conflicting answers and msi not answering phone today, thanks!
    also can i go from 2 dvi into 1 or 2 hdmi to get better resolution?

    Resolution is dependent on what your monitor (display device ) supports. It makes no difference which connector you use, as DVI and HDMI are both digital outputs

  • Lenovo K1 1304 Tablet - Micro HDMI to DVI No Signal

    Hi,
    I'm having a problem here. I want to connect my Lenovo K1 tablet to a TV or monitor with DVI input using HDMI cable and HDMI to DVI Adapter. This should work perfectly fine since both hdmi and dvi are backwards compatible with each other and I've succesfully connected a different tablet like that before, yet I get no signal when trying to output a video from Lenovo K1 Tablet.
    Micro HDMI output port on my K1 works fine since I can output signal to HDMI input on my TV but not to DVI input using HDMI to DVD Adapter and like I said this should work just fine.
    Any ideas anyone?
    Thanks.

    It doubt the adapter has to be HDCP "compliant", because it should just provide a mapping of pins/wires from HDMI to DVI, so any handshaking would occur between the endpoints (tablet and display device).  In case it helps, here's the pin mapping:

    There are some different flavors of DVI, such as DVI-D versus DVI-I, with single or dual links - is it possible that there is a mismatch between adapter, cable, and device?

  • Adapter micro HDMI to VGA for Nokia Lumia 2520

    could someone tell me which adapter micro HDMI to VGA is suitable for Nokia Lumia 2520 please?

    Hi, melpa. Welcome to our community. There's no particular brand, but it should be HDMI-D. You may try checking the stores near your place for the price and availability.

  • HP Elite L2201X HDMI to Displayport

    Hi,Operating Systen - Windows 7 64bitI have a Lenovo Y460p laptop. It has a HDMI out on the video card. I also have an HP Elite L2201x with a DisplayPort in. I bought a Startech.com HDMI2DP which is supposed to actively convert the HDMI to DisplayPort. When I plug up both to the converter, the monitor just blinks orange. The monitor has been installed using the CD. The converter has been hooked up correctly. I don't know what the problem is. Can anothing help?

    gsuren, Here are the specs for your HP Elite L2201x 21.5-inch LED Backlit LCD Monitor. According to the specs, your HP L2201x monitor has a single DisplayPort input and no other video connections. You must connect the monitor to a computer with native DisplayPort output or use an "ACTIVE HDMI-to-DisplayPort CONVERTER".  From "HP ZR24W and Displayport"11-05-2012 06:53 PM - edited 11-06-2012 07:46 AM  @ off1c3r, mikasa, bcody79, and others with the same DVI-D or HDMI to DisplayPort issue. The problem isn't with the monitor... it is with the way you are trying to connect your computer to the monitor. The monitor has a DVI-D input and a DisplayPort input. If your computer doesn't have native DisplayPort output, you can't use the monitor's DisplayPort input without an expensive active converter.  But you say you purchased a DVI-D or HDMI to DisplayPort adapter cable??? Wrong, unless it is an active converter there is no way to go from DVI-D or HDMI at your computer to a DisplayPort monitor. The cables you have purchased are designed to go from a computer's DisplayPort output to a monitor's DVI-D or HDMI input. This is facilitated by the graphics adapter sensing an active DVI-D or HDMI connection (via adapter cable) on the DisplayPort output and switching the signaling to DVI-D or HDMI. Please read DisplayPort.org/FAQs for more information on the subject. You can also check out wiki/DisplayPort for more information as well. From DisplayPort.org; Q: I just purchased a monitor that only has a DisplayPort connection. How can I hook this up to my computer that only has VGA, DVI or HDMI?A: There is not a cost effective way to do this. The adaptors that are available only work from a DP computer to a VGA, DVI or HDMI monitor and not the other way around. If you have a desktop you can purchase a graphics card with DisplayPort. Our best advice: Before you purchase a DP only monitor make sure you have DP on your computer.

  • Mini or Micro HDMI?

    Alright Im getting rather upset with Lenovo here. I just bought 2 mini HDMI cables because according to the Lenovo webpage (and every webpage I can find) the K1 uses a Mini HDMI port. It doesnt. I finally pulled out all my paperwork on my tablet & read through it until I found 1 place that said its actually a Micro HDMI port. Now why does Lenovo have it listed on the specs page online that its a Mini? Can anyone verify that this tablet takes a Micro HDMI because I've already wasted money on mini HDMI's I dont want to waste anymore!

  • Cinema 30" PC Monitor can use w/HDMI or DisplayPort?

    Hello,
    I have a  5 years old 30" Cinema Display I use as PC monitor. I want to upgrade my motherboard, and the ones I am interested in do not have DVI ports anymore, only HDMI and DisplayPort. Is it possible to adapt my display DVI cable to either of these ports and still retain 2560x1600 resolution? What do I need to do?
    thanks

  • Micro HDMI Cable

    About $25 at Staples & the videos from the tablet look great on our large screen TV. Has anyone else tried it?

    I hope to test tonight a 4 ft micro HDMI cable with a HDMI extender/coupler to a 30 ft HDMI cable to my Plasma TV.
    Should work fine, but I am eager to get home now.
