Active vs. Passive HDMI Adapters

When choosing an adapter, it's important to understand the capabilities of your graphics card. Passive adapters rely on the computer's outputting a compatible signal (DP++), while active adapters contain a specialized chip that performs the signal conversion itself. Active adapters are typically more reliable for multi-monitor setups and are required for many docking stations and older graphics cards. Plugable offers both to ensure you have the right tool for the job.

Stunning 4K Resolution at 60Hz

Don't settle for less than the best. Our active DisplayPort 1.2 to HDMI 2.0 adapters support full 4K (3840x2160) resolution at a smooth 60Hz refresh rate. This provides a much better experience than older 30Hz adapters, which can feel laggy or choppy. Whether you're a gamer, a video editor, or just want the clearest possible picture, our 4K adapters deliver professional-grade performance.

Seamless Audio and Video Integration

HDMI is a convenient single-cable solution for both sound and picture. All of our DisplayPort to HDMI adapters are designed to carry high-definition multi-channel digital audio alongside the video signal. This makes them ideal for connecting your laptop or desktop to a home theater receiver or a TV with built-in speakers, providing a complete entertainment experience without extra clutter.
