I have this one and the ethernet works just fine. Haven't tried the other ports.
Exactly.
Until now, Thunderbolt 3 to Displayport has been extremely niche. Now with the new Macbook, it's just niche.
Give it some time, you should be able to find an adaptor eventually.
This full size displayport cable claims to support 4K@60Hz, but I can't guarantee that it works with the Macbook:
https://www.amazon.com/Plugable-DisplayPort-Chromebook-ThunderboltTM-3840x2160/dp/B01EXKDRAC
You would also need an adaptor to adapt it to mini Displayport rather than full size.
It depends on the connection, you occasionally need an 'active' adapter like this one which I had to purchase to hook a desktop I own up to my TV.
I don't think they make 'active' cables, do they?
no DP is the best, why?
thats why there are a boatload of adapters, one of the XFX ref backplate cards include a DP>DVI adapter i think
if everyone wanted DVI, we would have been stuck at 1600p60 for a 100 years..
those adapters i told you about?, dont cost an arm or a leg, its like 18 bucks for a active one dp to dvi or 28 for hdmi 2.0

Hi, it's best to have the Rift plugged directly into your GPU's HDMI port and to use the adapter with your display instead, because many adapters can cause display issues with the Rift. If you still need to use an adapter, we recommend the Cable Matters 4K DisplayPort to HDMI 4K Adapter, as it known to work with the Rift, which can be found on https://www.amazon.com/Cable-Matters-Gold-Plated-DisplayPort-Adapter/dp/B00K0UDYLM/. Thanks!
Try a DisplayPort to HDMI adapter for the TV? Example: https://smile.amazon.com/dp/B010SDZZ80
Dealt with this issue myself.
I managed to get it to work in the end by doing the following;
Now doing it this way means you can't use the OS to set the scaling so what you need to do is set your resolution in screenresX to 2560 x 1440 (It will still be at 3840 x 2160) but scaled to the lower res so its easier to see.
It's definitely not a hardware issue, its just Apple putting limitations on 60hz output. For some reason MacOS doesn't like 4K 60hz output over HDMI. Hopefully once their E-GPU platform comes out this will be an issue of the past.
This is the adapter I used and works 100% of the time for me! Club3D Displayport 1.2 to HDMI 2.0 UHD (CAC-1070)
What's with the Amazon links being attached to a Youtube link?
For those looking for clean links:
EDIT: OP clarified why the links are buried in Youtube links since this post.
Sure, this seems to be the right one: https://www.amazon.com/Plugable-DisplayPort-Supports-displays-3840x2160/dp/B00S0C7QO8/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&qid=1495641526&sr=8-5&keywords=active%2Bdisplayport%2Bto%2Bhdmi&th=1
"Active" is the key word here
Many laptops have a USB-C port that is capable of being used in displayport mode, and transmitting a displayport signal.
I have 2 Dell displayport monitors that I connect to my MacBook Pro using one of these cables: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01EXKDRAC/
There are also adapters like this for existing cables: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01N2ORP84/
Since what you're looking at is "thunderbolt 3 compatible", I believe that also means it'll work in displayport mode.
Right, DVI-I has both digital and analog signals. DVI-D lacks a analog signal. You'll need an active converter. By active, this means there's a DAC used to convert the digital signal to analog. A regular adapter won't work. You should also notice it requires power, in this case from a microUSB cable.
They also make DP to VGA converters
I don't think there would be any "audio delay" or anything. These adaptors may be "active", but they aren't like transcoders; both displayport and hdmi support pretty much the same colorspaces for video, and same audio formats. All it's doing is changing the transport layer.
Honestly, an HDMI repeater or even your home theater receiver probably would be more or less the same amount of "delay" if not more.
There are however some meh adapters out there, I recently had to go through like two bad ones before I found a good one; it was sort of my fault since I was trying to cheap out by going for inexpensive junk. If you do get one, I highly recommend 'Plugable' brand ones, like this one, this is the one that finally worked for me; they seem to be one of the better and more reputable companies for adapters, etc.
Biggest question I have is why two desktops?
I can't speak to the room layout since you need those doors. However, If your monitors have the ability and you use both gaming machines yourself, I personally would do the following:
Sounds like an adapter issue - which is very normal for trying to get anything major working with it.
I somehow doubt you will manage to get 4K FreeSync working through an adapter, as it will probably not relay frame synchronization signals or the handshake will fail, so I'd focus on getting the Oculus working. You will almost certainly just need to try other adapters until you find one that works.
Reviews seem to suggest this one works with Oculus Rift perfectly. And it's cheap.
You absolutely can do this, personally I use this one because I remember it being recommended a lot on this sub. It supports ultra mode(90hz) because it converts the signal to HDMI 2.0 which supports 4k at 60hz instead of just 30hz.
I'm 18, I'm a student and a IT guy (pretty good one too). I like fixing stuff
What I put in my pockets
Verizon LG G3 An oldie but goodie, been weilding this phone for a little over 2 years. Currently is running Cyanogenmod 13. Also has a 3rd party Anker battery inside which are a bit nicer than the one the phone comes with
Buxton Tri-Fold wallet Very sturdy and nice feeling wallet. My grandparents got it for me half as a joke as my last name is Buxton. Holds a second battery for my phone in addition to all the money I dont have.
Keyring with 144GB of Flash Storage on it. Keys for my house, and assorted flash drives. 2 8GB and 2 64GB. One 64GB is for my portable build of Ubuntu, the other is for Storing files on the go. One 8GB is for Hirens Boot CD, and the last one doesnt work and i'm too much of a lazy ass to take it off. Plus it looks cool.
Feild Notes I think everyone on EDC has one of these. Super handy. Above it is my handy Pilot G2, my personal favorite pen. Ive been using that one for about a year and it shows it with all the chew marks at the top.
Random Skullcandy Headphones.
Things I put in my bag
iFixit Pro Tech Toolkit Probably the best toolkit for computer repair, has literally every single screwdriver tip imaginable, plus some really handy tools for things like phone and tablet repair
2016 Razer Blade A wonderful gaming laptop, that can actually be used in the real world. Is very thin and light considering what's on the inside. Holds a 5ish hour battery life, so I'm not tethered to a wall all the time.
Steam Controller Wonderful for Gaming on the Go. It's a very good controller for PC Gaming, but only for certain people. First person shooters would totally suck on this controller (but then again they suck on every controller), but works very nicely for the games I play.
Logitech MX Master Probably the nicest mouse I have ever used in my life. Fits super well in my rather large hands, and the thumbrest button, speed adaptive scroll wheel, and horizontal scroll in addition to wonderful tracking and bluetooth support make it my favorite mouse of all time.
Cable Matters Thunderbolt Dock Very handy for a laptop that doesnt have Ethernet or VGA output, and an Extra USB port never hurt anyone either.
USB 3 & Micro USB OTG, SD Card and Micro SD card Adapter. Can plug into either standard USB or Micro USB, works as an adapter for a Micro SD or an SD Card. Also useful for a computer that doesnt have an SD card slot.
Microfiber cloth. The Razer Blade is a fingerprint magnet, so this comes in handy quite often.
Except it actually makes sense since there are few USB-C cables which won't fry your device. Also point out that I know apple overchargers for their stuff and yet it's still over twice the price compared to what nintendo is offering.
Let's use 'generics' from amazon to satisfy you:
Top rated result for USB-C to HDMI Adapter: $44
Top rated result for USB C wall charger: $20
So $64. Which is almost exactly what I priced the cost of the USB-C interface at in my post. And for cables which may make your switch go bust.
It gets weirder with adapters too. https://www.amazon.com/Plugable-DisplayPort-Chromebook-ThunderboltTM-3840x2160/dp/B01EXKDRAC
This is a 4k60 display port adapter. It requires Thunderbolt 3 or USB-C with "Display Port Alternative mode" which not all USB-C ports have. Even weirder, some USB-C ports won't drive 4K and some won't drive 4K60. And of course plenty of USB-C ports just won't work at all.
You should get a monitor that support DisplayPort. The u2417h is a good monitor. And you should get a usb c - DisplayPort cable that support DisplayPort alt mode.
Choetech
Plugable
I have used both of them. I have had no problems at all.
Hi Microsoft specifically recommends these adapters:
USB 3.0 Type C to HDMI (with Thunderbolt 3 support):
Source:
https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/4039260/windows-10-mixed-reality-pc-hardware-guidelines
I think the headset cables are long enough to reach to the other side of the laptop to plug into the USB 3.0 A port - but a 3-foot USB 3.0 extension cord would be OK to use to optimize cable management. Keeping the adapters simple is probably a good bet as USB-type-C compatibility is ironed out. I recommend staying away from cheap, off-brand multi-function usb-type-C hubs that have hdmi+ethernet+usb ports all-in-one.
VGA uses analog signal while most modern GPUs/displays only use digital signal.
For DVI, there used to be three main types - DVI-A for analog signal, DVI-D for digital signal and DVI-I which was able to transfer both analog and digital.
So what EVGA means is imho that there are many VGA to DVI-I or DVI-A adapters, but it won't work.
If you really want to do this, you need an adapter with an active electronic component that will convert the signal. Something like this - https://www.amazon.com/gofanco-Active-DVI-D-Adapter-Converter/dp/B01FL7H7HA unfortunately, these things are finnicky so even an active convertor might not work properly.
You would need an active adapter.
My 5-year-old 27" Samsung 1080p TN monitor broke last week, so I went down to Costco and picked up this exact model for $369. I love it. I'll be trying to get a price match on this model, but i had a feeling it'd go on sale for Black Friday since it's been on sale a couple times this month. It's one of the better 40" 4k TVs to use as a monitor, according to: http://www.rtings.com/tv/reviews/samsung/ku6300.
Input lag and reponse time are pretty low for a TV, but nothing close to a good monitor, but I don't notice any negatives compared to my old monitor. The viewing angles are decent, but not fantastic. My GTX 780 doesn't have HDMI 2.0, so I bought this converter: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B017BQ8I54. If it introduces any additional lag, I didn't notice.
I don't play twitch FPS games, so take that into consideration. I do play a lot of Skyrim and its great, though I can't power it at 4k, so it's only 1080p for gaming until I upgrade. I use it primarily for web browsing and programming and it does a good job at those tasks.
If it hadn't worked out for me, I probably would've returned it for something else, but I like it a lot. In my opinion, for $269, it's a steal.
Yes, most adapters only support HDMI 1.4
There is an active adapter from Club3D which supports HDMI 2.0. I use it for my Fury X and can enjoy 4K60 on my TV. Costs around 35€.

For direct USB-C to Display Port:
https://www.amazon.com/Plugable-DisplayPort-Thunderbolt-Supports-3840x2160/dp/B01EXKDRAC
You just described DVI. DVI can also be used with HDMI with a cheap adapter.
There is hope! I actually have dual 27" dell ultrasharp 1440p displays with only dvi inputs. Bought display port to dvi adaptors. See link below.
Managed to get 1440p 60hz working without any tweaks in Windows 10. Just plugged the adaptors to my 970 and used a proper dvi dual link cable.
https://www.amazon.com/Cable-Matters-DisplayPort-Eyefinity-Technology/dp/B00EDT01TO
I also have two of the same adaptor from Cable Matters as a miniDP version in use with my surface dock. Worked straight away.
Have not tried a direct display port to dvi-d cable though. Most reviews only say that 1080p is supported as they are not active. Bit the bullet on those adaptors as I found reviews said they should work 1440p and was not dissapointed.
The Pimax is DisplayPort, not Display Link. Display Link is a wireless standard, while DisplayPort is a cable. As for converting HDMI to DisplayPort, that is non-trivial. The common passive adapters you see only work the other way around. You'll need to buy an expensive active adapter, as many of the cheaper ones like this aren't capable of the resolution/refresh rate of the Pimax.
It seems not all dvi to hdmi adapters will work, the cable matters works for some people at least. There is also the cable matter display port to hdmi adapter https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00K0UDYLM
You can also try use a HDMI repeater instead of extension https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01GHL72XS/
I personally just use the AmazonBasics hdmi on gtx780ti and usb extension connect to the Inateck Superspeed 4 Ports

I've been using the following HDMI to DisplayPort adapter with my rift:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00K0UDYLM/
According to Newegg the DVI port is DVI-D with HDCP support, meaning an adapter like this one should work
No HDMI port... FYI.
~~Grab one of these for $2 + Free Shipping. Has good reviews as far as I can tell.
http://www.amazon.com/Generic-GC2080-Adapter-Plated-Connector/dp/B000FUVNX8~~
Edit: see below for proper connector
yup. Both are digital signals so it's not much of an issue
https://www.amazon.com/Generic-GC2080-Adapter-Plated-Connector/dp/B000FUVNX8
This should help clarify what he means by dual link.
As for double ended he means it's a DVI-D-to-DVI-D cable as opposed to a DVI-D-to-HDMI.
And yes, it would need some sort of adapter.
No, that was not the adapter. That is a splitter (one output to two displays). You would need a DVI to HDMI adapter.
Something like this:https://www.amazon.com/Cable-Matters-SuperSpeed-Adapter-Windows/dp/B00BPEV1XK/ref=sr_1_9?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1540868695&sr=1-9&keywords=usb+to+hdmi+adapter
While USB to HDMI adapters do exist, your machine has USB 2.0 (not USB 3.0) so it is to be determined if it will work well with USB 2.0.
If USB 2.0 is too laggy or doesn't work, t think your best bet will be to use the Thunderbolt or Expresscard slot to add a USB 3.0 port, then connect the HDMI adapter to it.
Here is one HDMI/USB 3.0 adapter: http://www.amazon.com/Cable-Matters®-SuperSpeed-2048x1152-1920x1200/dp/B00BPEV1XK
This is the one I'm using.
It's connected to the monitor on my right so it's my secondary monitor. There is a slight delay and a slight stutter in motion but for the most part it's not noticeable. After about 5-10 minutes I completely forget it's different than my central monitor. My main issue so far seems to be the the 4GB of RAM on my MacBook Air. I've never had a problem with it before (and I do some computer intensive things like large scale simulation stuff) but if I try to run a fullscreen video on the adapter screen while doing other things on the middle screen the whole system starts to lag noticeably. I don't know if this is an issue with Yosemite in particular or if it is one of the many bugs that the Yosemite version of the displaylink driver has but it's frustrating. What this usually means is that I either need to not put too many things on the right screen or I need to avoid RAM hungry apps (in particular chrome). It's manageable but it's frustrating to have to manage it in the first place.
Also, Netflix won't work in Safari with the driver/adapter installed. You get some error about how one of the displays isn't "hdcp compliant". Oddly enough, it will work in Chrome even without the Silverlight plugin. I suspect the adapter I bought isn't hdcp compliant and I don't know if any of them are. I'm not sure how Chrome is working around this. Magic, I suspect.
Here's one that claims 1440p:

Get an Active DisplayPort to HDMI adapter and everything should work.
The card only supports 2 displays off of the internal clock. To use more monitors, they need to be active (aka have an adapter that adds a clock to the line so they work)
I think he’s right. I had the exact same issue you’re describing while using the HDMI port on my Gigabyte G1 390, and it was not resolved until I switched to using a DisplayPort active adapter after which things worked perfectly.
This is the one I got. There are cheaper ones out there, but most of them are passive and won’t support the necessary bandwidth.
In theory making sure it supports 1080p @ 75hz is a bandwidth issue, so you need to get an adapter that claims it supports 4k30 or 4k60, since 4k30 uses roughly the same bandwidth as 1080p120. Even better is to find an adapter that claims 1080p @ 120hz support explicitly.
Maybe one of these:
https://www.amazon.com/Cable-Matters-DisplayPort-Supporting-Technology/dp/B00EDT0072/
https://www.amazon.com/CAC-1080-DisplayPort-Adapter-displays-4096x2160/dp/B0775Z57H9
I think these are the same, both made by the same OEM: Bizlink, but not 100% sure.
I don't know anything about the GTX 1070 limits. However, I do use a 4k TV w/HDR as my monitor along with the Oculus. My 1080ti only has the one HDMI so I bought this:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00EDT0072/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o04_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Is your adapter active or passive? I wasn't sure if passive would work so I went with the active one.
My Oculus is plugged into my HDMI and this adapter is used for my TV/monitor. One thing I found out is that DisplayPort is VERY limited when it comes to cord length. Anything longer than 16 feet was pretty much unusable for me. Even with my current 16 ft cord, my TV still goes black for a few seconds one or two times a day. Longer than 16 feet and I got black screen pretty much all the time.
I was thinking about trying the adapter on my Oculus (it has a 12 ft cord) but I haven't tested it yet. Let us know if you get yours working.
Buy one of these
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00EDT0072/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o07_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
This is the extension cables I use

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00NH134L6/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o08_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
​
Lastly, if you still have issues with 90hz even after buying the HDMI adapter then its probably also a power issue and you will need one of these

It's this one. HDMI on the mid 2015's doesn't support 4k at 60hz.
You could probably use a "headless ghost." It's a little thing that plugs into the HDMI and emulates a monitor. Costs about $20: https://www.headlessghost.com/
Though since it's HDMI (needed for the Rift), you will need something like this to use it on a displayport instead: http://www.amazon.com/Rankie%C2%AE-Plated-DisplayPort-Adapter-Converter/dp/B010SDZZ80
edit: this may work too, it's DVI and is cheaper: http://www.amazon.com/CablesOnline-Graphics-Display-Detection-VE-D11/dp/B00N85QYGS/ref=sr_1_3?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1464043908&sr=1-3&keywords=Display+Emulator
You can pick up a cheap DVI to HDMI converter or DP to HDMI converter to use for your monitor. Try to avoid adapters with Rift if possible as they are more sensitive to signal issues.

0 issue whit my 2080ti in dport whit this adapter
Anything with DisplayPort plus an external DisplayPort to HDMI 2.0 converter, https://www.amazon.com/Club3D-Displayport-1-2-HDMI-CAC-1070/dp/B017BQ8I54/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1485475001&sr=8-3&keywords=displayport+1.2+hdmi+2.0, there are no current CPUs with integrated graphics that can drive HDMI 2.0 directly, so you need a converter either on board or separately, and on board is pretty rare.
Yes, you can convert DP1.2 to HDMI 2.0 using an adapter like this one.
The problem is converting HDMI 2.0 to DP1.2. No adapters exist that do that. We asked Club3D about it, and they dont see a demand for that type of adapter so they have no made one.
Have you looked into your TV settings and check if you have a SST and MST setting? May at least help with the chopping.
But unfortunately, it does appear all R7's have 4k support BUT not 4k@60hz with that high of a resolution. For one, you need a 2.0 HDMI to run 4k@60, but your card does not support 2.0 HDMI in this way.
I would upgrade GPU that is designed to run 4k@60 3840 × 2160 all on its own.
or try as another said:

I know you said not TVs but this is what I have and it is awesome 50” Samsung MU6300. Does the 4K at 60hz.
I had to buy this display port to hdmi: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B017BQ8I54
And this HDMI cable: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01CRA11IU
I needed both of these for the hackintosh to display in 4K . Do not try to buy other cables unless you are sure they support 4K.
Also you may need to tweak the settings. See this guide:

I use this for Ethernet, VGA, and an extra USB port. Does the trick and is pretty good price for what it is.
Acer's own page for the Aspire V Nitro isn't correct, which is really annoying. According to UltraBook Review, the Acer Aspire Nitro VN7-#93G (5 for 15", 7 for 17") DOES have Thunderbolt 3.
Get a Thunderbolt 3 to DisplayPort cable and you'll be fine.
USB-C to DisplayPort Adapter Cable. Gives the ability to have an external 4k monitor @60 Hz.
9560 comes with HDMI 1.4. Only allowing 4k @ 30Hz.
I'll add my experience as well since I just went through this Friday (and I'm also a scala guy, who recently came from a mac). I'll add a quick note that my primary goal with the dual boot is to use Windows for occasional gaming and Linux as my primary driver 99% of the time.
a) I wiped the supplied windows and reinstalled windows clean. I thought about keeping the install, but a couple screens into the setup was a Mcafee screen with my email address pre-populated and noped right out of there and wiped the disk. I think with Windows especially it's valuable not having to deal with all the pre-installed software. All the drivers are available here:
http://www.dell.com/support/home/us/en/19/product-support/product/xps-15-9560-laptop/drivers
I recommend downloading them all and throwing them on a usb as the wireless card doesn't work out of the box in windows, just run all the installers after the install. Before running the install, I recommend disabling secure boot and setting the hard drive to 'ahci' in the BIOS, otherwise the installer won't be able to see the disk.
b) I also have a 1tb hard drive and decided on a new 50/50 split between the two operating systems. Games are very large, so I wanted plenty of space for my windows install, additionally my previous linux install only had about 250gb, so I know I won't have any issues with disk space. However, depending on your uses this may vary.
c) You can read & write the ntfs drive just fine, however I personally don't like sharing underlying file systems between operating systems. I use a combination of dropbox and git, however I have almost no use cases that require any meaningful sharing of data between the two operating systems.
d) I use arch linux personally with XMonad. Arch linux is nice because you always get pretty up to date software and it allows you easy access to most software via the AUR. Since your a functional guy like me, you may enjoy XMonad which is configured using Haskell. At the start there is a steep learning curve, but in the end you end up with a highly customized window manager that you can bend to your will in any way you wish. Otherwise I'd recommend using XFCE or Mate, both of which are lightweight. I personally don't care for unity or gnome 3 at all.
e) cool, me too
f) Some general notes I'd add:
Good luck! If I think of anything else I'll add it.
I use this one: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B06XNS7W63/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1
​
but even a straight USB-C to HDMI cable works (without charging though).
This is correct. DisplayPort to HDMI directly would be limited to HDMI1.4 speeds.
I used a Club3D CAC-1080 Active DisplayPort 1.4 to HDMI 2.0b HDR Adapter on my R9 Fury and it worked with a 6-foot HDMI2.0 cable to get HDR, but there was occasional flicker (I think that's right on the brink of what DP1.2 can do). However, with a 15-foot HDMI2.0 cable, I could only do 8-bit non-HDR from my R9 Fury, so I'd keep that in mind.
More fast speed use DP 1.4 to HDMI 2.0 4k 60hz cable.
https://www.amazon.com/CAC-1080-DisplayPort-Adapter-displays-4096x2160/dp/B077JB28KM/
Note that it will have to be an active HDMI 2.0 adapter. Passive adapters will not work. I'm using a combination of a cheap USB-C to Displayport dongle and the Plugable Displayport to HDMI 2.0 active adapter (https://www.amazon.com/Plugable-DisplayPort-Supports-displays-3840x2160/dp/B00S0C7QO8) to drive a 43" 4K Samsung at 4K60Hz from my XPS 9350, and it works beautifully. There are a couple of combined adapters now available as well, which adapt directly from USB-C to HDMI 2.0 and should do the trick, though I haven't used any of them myself. Here's one: https://www.amazon.com/Cable-Matters-Thunderbolt-DisplayPort-Incompatible/dp/B01K51GM46
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00S0C7QO8/ref=ox_sc_sfl_title_5?ie=UTF8&smid=A3HIHADV23VGU1&th=1
You need something like this that's verified to go to 4K.
I have the exact same adaptor except it's mini DP to HDMI.
Works just fine for 2560x1080 75hz.
No, DVI doesn't support that resolution, you need displayport.
https://www.amazon.com/Plugable-DisplayPort-Supports-displays-3840x2160/dp/B00S0C7QO8
This active adapter support DP to HDMI 2.0 for 4k @ 60hz.
Non-active adapters tend to be 4k @30hz.
That's a strange card to buy new, although perhaps it is a decent price due to the current crypto-mining fad? If you got it cheap, fair enough.
Anyway, I have a Fury. Works great performance wise, but the HDMI, like the Fury X, is only 1.4, so if you want the headset at 90hz, you need to buy HDMI to Displayport adapter.
Like this one: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00S0C7QO8/
Haven't seen anyone say this - this is how i solved it
Stop trying to adapt the connection the rift/vive is using - give it the native conection
Then one of those like £20 adaptors should be fine for your TV no?
edit: /u/bushmaster2000 already said this

Use a display port to HDMI adapter. Something like: http://www.amazon.com/Rankie%C2%AE-Plated-DisplayPort-Adapter-Converter/dp/B010SDZZ80/ref=sr_1_6?ie=UTF8&qid=1465014903&sr=8-6&keywords=display+port+hdmi+adapter
HDMI can do far longer runs than DP anyway.
It's okay ;)
Yeah that's what you'll need.
Here is a cheaper one by the way.

I don't know if that will work. And I know you said you're strapped for cash, but the DisplayPort > HDMI adapter is about ten bucks. That would do what you'd want.
Buy this DisplayPort adapter and plug your monitor into it.

I'm thinking you have to buy a displayport to hdmi converter and plug the dongle into that. /u/ggodin - can you confirm?
You should be able to display 4k@60hz over DP 1.2 using the Club3D adapter assuming your TV supports it:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B017BQ8I54/
It works fine with my 390 and Hisense H8C. Lighter/older games get 60fps no problem at 4k. Just make sure you have a good HDMI cable, I had a cheap one laying around and it kept cutting out.
Does it have a displayport output? If so, one of these will get you 60fps at 4k. I have mine set up in crossfire and it's great for most older games. New games I still play at a lower resolution.

If you have a mini displayport output, get this instead.

Using HDMI 5 I don't get any video until windows boot, have to switch to 4 or elsewhere to access my bios. Try putting the image settings on computer or gaming also.
The TV can but the GPU can't, you'll need the adapter(https://www.amazon.com/Club3D-Displayport-1-2-HDMI-CAC-1070/dp/B017BQ8I54/ref=sr_1_9?ie=UTF8&qid=1469233801&sr=8-9&keywords=4k+60hz+hdmi+dp) or a AMD 400 series or 900 or higher series for Nvdia.
Should still work though mine did, what resolution is windows set at?
No, they "repeat" HDCP so it should work fine. At least the good ones do.
(Ignore that price gouge because they're seemingly out of stock).
https://www.amazon.com/Club3D-Displayport-1-2-HDMI-CAC-1070/dp/B017BQ8I54/ref=sr_1_1?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1467765206&sr=1-1&keywords=club3d+displayport+1.2+to+hdmi+2.0+uhd
Okay, got it. DisplayPort 1.2 and HDMi 2.0 both support 3440x1440 at 100 Hz, so you have some options.
Something like this looks like it would work pretty well. It looks like only the mini Displayport version is DP 1.2 though.
Otherwise you could go for an HDMi 2.0 switch like this and then pair it with some adapters like this.
Hier hol dir diesen Adapter für 35€, mit dem müsste es dann gehen.
Vielleicht hat deine Grafikkarte aber auch nur mini Displayport, dann musst du nach nem anderen Adapter suchen.
Und anscheinend muss man dann noch manuell von 30 auf 60 Hz umstellen.
As long as you get a Mini Displayport Adapter that terminates to HDMI 2.0 you'll be fine.
Example: https://www.amazon.com/Club3D-Displayport-1-2-HDMI-CAC-1070/dp/B017BQ8I54
Mit so einem Adapter bekommst du aber meist nur 4k@30Hz zusammen. Zurzeit kenn ich nur den Adapter von Club 3D, der auch wirklich 4k@60Hz liefert, da er ein displayport zu hmdi 2.0 adapter ist.
I use this one
Used this to connect my 4K UHD TV and my 1440p 144hz. Didn't have much issues.

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B017BQ8I54/ref=s9_acsd_hps_bw_c_x_1
For those wanting a regular Displayport connection. These adapters will allow your to keep 4:4:4 @60hz.

Club3d Displayport 1.2 to HDMI 2.0. Works great!
Reading up on the R9 290 it looks like it can't actually output 4k over HDMI, only the Displayport. Best way to make it work would be a an Displayport 1.2 to HDMI 2.0 adapter like this one on Amazon.
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B017BQ8I54/ref=s9_acsd_hps_bw_c_x_1_r
If you don't get that exact one, make sure to get one that is an "Active Adapter"
If you are using a splitter you have only one HDMI connection and can have only one display on it. You can have two screens but since they are one signal split into two they'll show the same thing. If you have another display port in your laptop (hdmi/dvi/vga) you can plug that into the second monitor.
If your laptop has USB C you can get a graphics adapter like this one: https://www.amazon.com/Cable-Matters-Multiport-Thunderbolt-Compatible/dp/B01C316EIK/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1483866212&sr=8-1&keywords=usb+c+video

you only have to hook up power and the type C adapter, makes hooking up and taking with a lot faster and easier, you can get a type c extender and then you can hide the adapter behind your desk.
It might be the adapter itself. I have this one and it works perfectly.
If it's the newest model with the USB-c ports, this is an adapter I recommend. Also look for other adapters that meet your needs.
4 port adapter
Dell charges about the same (list price $75) for their USB-C to HDMI adapter. Then factor in the HDMI and AC adapter, along with any snapping mechanics for the docking of the Switch itself and they're about equivalent.
You could go for the cheaper one at $45 or [even the $26 one] (https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B01GKSPMCQ/ref=mp_s_a_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1485170502&sr=8-4&pi=AC_SX236_SY340_FMwebp_QL65&keywords=usb+c+to+hdmi&dpPl=1&dpID=31nWVKLFDiL&ref=plSrch) but you're losing some quality assurance here. Remember these need to be 100% reliable, even with 5 year olds treating them like the rest of their toys.

I love.
The display was the biggest upgrade for me. The display brightness is higher, the high PPI and amazing viewing angles are great, and the whole macOS UI scales well with the resolution.
The larger trackpad is useful when paired with BetterTouchTool. I use the extra real estate space for more complicated gestures. Pressing top left or right to switch tabs for example. The trackpad doesn't click anymore; it's force-touch now with audio feedback but you'll get use to it. I prefer the new trackpad because I don't actually have to use much force to click anymore.
The keyboard is definitely different from the older model. The key travel isn't nearly as large but it is larger than the first generation butterfly keyboard. Eventually I got use to it and can switch between a regular keyboard and the new one just fine. Personally, I like the new one for a few reasons: the keys don't feel as mushy and the whole platform depress uniformly no matter where you press.
The weight, or lack thereof, is a huge bonus. I can definitely feel the difference on my back. The 2011 was way heavier by comparison.
The USB-C situation isn't a big inconvenient for me. I switched to using a USB-C to microUSB for remote play so that isn't an issue. For all other USB-A or HDMI/VGA uses, I got this.
Finally, battery life and software stability are great. I never had an issue with them. The last time I fully powered my Macbook off was 2 months ago. It's been on and off the charger with no restart since. I wake it each morning for work and put it to sleep by closing the lid each night. Leave it in my backpack overnight and use it again in the morning.
So, to reiterate. I love it. For me, the price was worth it.
I have this adapter; HDMI, VGA Video, USB 3.0 and Gigabit Ethernet: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01C316EIK/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Plugable USB-C to DisplayPort Adapter Cable (6'/1.8m) for 2016 / 2017 MacBook Pro, MacBook Retina 2015 / 2016, Chromebook Pixel, Thunderbolt 3 & More (Supports 4K / UHD Displays up to 3840x2160@60Hz) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01EXKDRAC/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_qTF-zb5KQF3WG
The easiest way is just to get two USB-C to DisplayPort cables, such as these.
Obviously I’m assuming your new monitors have DisplayPort. You didn’t specify a model number so I couldn’t verify.
The USB-C connector should support display port alt mode. Using a cable similar to below it will work just like a mini displayport.
https://www.amazon.com/Plugable-DisplayPort-Thunderbolt-Supports-3840x2160/dp/B01EXKDRAC
Pick whichever one you like and grab one of these
Apple's "Thunderbolt 3 (USB-C) to Thunderbolt 2" adapter states on Apple's web site that it will not work for DisplayPort, it can only be used for Thunderbolt accessories.
"DisplayPort: This display requires a third-party USB-C to DisplayPort adapter. The Thunderbolt 3 (USB-C) to Thunderbolt 2 Adapter doesn't support this display." from https://support.apple.com/en-nz/HT207443
Which was the other adapter you used? Make sure it says USB-C to DisplayPort, even better if it says for MacBook or MacBook Pro, this one for example https://www.amazon.com/Plugable-DisplayPort-1-8m-Chromebook-Thunderbolt/dp/B01EXKDRAC
USB-C supports DisplayPort natively even without thunderbolt
As far as I can tell, the Ultrafine 4K is using Displayport Alt Mode over USB-C rather than Thunderbolt.
You could try connecting to a display using a USB-C to Displayport cable: https://www.amazon.com/Plugable-DisplayPort-1-8m-Chromebook-Thunderbolt/dp/B01EXKDRAC
If it works you could connect both monitors directly to an eGPU e.g. a GTX 1050 with multiple Displayports.
Yes, there is a TB3 port that you can use to connect to a displayport monitor so you can get 144hz if you want. I did it with a cable from amazon
Works great, now I did have some difficulty getting my games to get up to that many FPS, but I did manage it eventually with enough tweaking.
I currently connect to two relatively older Dell 1080p monitors that only have DisplayPort and VGA out. So I've got two DP to USB-C cables into my MBP + another USB-C for power.
Can't believe that support just did dock sales on you.
You have three videos output ports on Alienware 15 r3. From specs page - 3. Mini-Display Port 1.2 (certified) Output | 4. HDMI 2.0 Output | 5. Thunderbolt™ 3 Port (USB Type-C™ with support for SuperSpeed USB 10Gbps, 40Gbps Thunderbolt, and DisplayPort). One monitor hdmi to hdmi. Another 4k - depends on the input - usb-c to usb-c or usb-c to displayport (monitor). It's straightforward cable.
E. G.
I have on my 4k (no dock) monitors setup @60Hz
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01EXKDRAC

I would get the smaller one. Better quality display, plus it is "retina" density so it will match your built-in monitor better. A 27" 4K monitor is sort of a weird in-between resolution: not really dense enough for retina mode, but too dense for normal display mode. But there is also something to be said for "bigger is better", especially if you want to watch movies or don't care so much about retina resolution.
If you're willing to forgo USB-C charging there are some other cheaper models you could look at. E.g. Dell has a decent 24" 4K screen for around 350 USD. You would need a USB-C to DisplayPort cable to make that work.
USB-C supports display port natively. Buy yourself a USBC -> display port cable, something like this. Do not use an HDMi splitter, bad idea. I’m not even sure it would even work.
Forget the USB-C dongle you have. Connect the MBP directly to the monitor with a cable like this.
Yea for the monitor I just use a USB-C to DisplayPort cable.
I have this TB3 to displayport cable that works well: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01EXKDRAC/. If both of your monitors support displayport 1.2 you will be able to daisy chain the monitors. That way you only need to plug in one cable to the laptop and will be cheaper than a splitter.
This is my setup (2016 13" non-TB rMBP, 1080p monitor, 1440p/4k monitor).
I just use a Hootoo USB-C adapter for the 1080p one (HDMI), then a USB-C to DisplayPort cable (for 60hz on 4k).
I even added an additional USB hub, so I have 6 usable USB slots.

does full 4k 60hz 4:4:4
Then I just paired it with an amazon basic cable 18gbps
Nope, the 1060 is purely DVI-D.
If your monitor only has VGA input then this adapter should work. I assume the monitor came with a VGA cable.
The OSSC is the best and probably most affordable solution and works 100% fine with a cheap Active DVI/HDMI to VGA converter. I have the one below.
https://www.amazon.com/gofanco-Active-DVI-D-Converter-Black/dp/B01FL7H7HA/ref=sr_1_3?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1487897614&sr=1-3&keywords=dvi+vga+active
It offers lag free upscaling at 2x, 3x, 4x, or 5x(1600x1200!) with the latest firmware. I's pretty incredible with the clarity you can get on 240p at 5x. I have mine setup to a HP p1130 (rebranded Sony Trinitron) for SNES, Genesis, Saturn, Xbox, and Wii using SCART and component where applicable. I then use my Dreamcast w/ VGA box and XBox 360 w/ VGA cable on the second input.
Don't waste your time with a Gnobes GBS-8200/8220. They don't properly process 240p (it considers it 480i material), end up with a lot of artifacts, and uses a scaler that introduces lag as well. Supposedly using a SLG will mask the visual issues a bit, but it still isn't ideal and once you add in the SLG to the GBS-8200 cost and cable adapter you start to get pretty close to a used XRGB2/3. I started out with a GBS-8200 but wasn't happy with the quality.
Ideally I'd try to get on the list to buy an OSSC. Another good option is a used XRGB2 or XRGB3 (B1mode) in line-double mode which takes 240p and outputs in 480p without introducing any lag. They work about as well as the OSSC, but can't do the higher integer multipliers that the OSSC can. I have an XRGB3 that I got before I was up on the OSSC purchase list and it was just as effective on a VGA monitor. Your only issue might be finding one, but they pop up on ebay and shmups forum for sale section from time to time. They could be less than an OSSC if you find a deal.
There are passive dvi to vga adapters, however your graphics card might not support them. Check to see if your graphics card supports DVI-I or DVI-A. If it does support it then there will be no loss vs a VGA cable.
Here is one such adapter.
If your GPU only supports DVI-D (Digital) then you'll need a more expensive active adapter. There depending on the adapter, there will be some difference.
Here's a cheap version (and clicking on the usb power cable will point you to a more "compatible" and expensive one).
That will not work. All new RX-4xx and GTX 10x0 cards have removed VGA support, so they require active converter.
Example:
https://www.amazon.com/gofanco-Active-DVI-D-Converter-Black/dp/B01FL7H7HA
Yes there are. They're called DVI-D to VGA Active Adapters.
They look like this:
https://www.amazon.com/gofanco-Active-DVI-D-Converter-Black/dp/B01FL7H7HA/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1480524729&sr=8-3&keywords=dvi-d+to+vga+active
I do a lot of the driver packaging, Windows image building at work, and test lots of NUCs, Surfaces, MacBooks, and other machines. my daily driver is a Surface Pro 3 using Surface Dock with two miniDP to DP cables (like the one you linked) driving two HP Z30i displays. In all the troubleshooting that I have ever done we have seen cables of questionable build quality sometimes work on a PC, but not work on a Mac, and the other way round. It took trying a handful of brands from our vendor before we found cables and adapters that worked reliably.
If your display came with a DP to DP cable, you might try a miniDP to DP adapter like this
https://sgcdn.startech.com/005329/media/products/gallery_large/MDP2DPMF6IN.MAIN.JPG
I think a USB-C to DP cable might be more trouble than it is worth, though I am wrong on occassion.

Thunderbolt 3 is essentially a enhanced version of USB-C. Which means that USB-C devices will work like normal. So all you need is a USB-C to Display Port cable or adapter.
Cable

Yes, you can on the 2016 MacBook. You can absolutely run 4K with a monitor that has built in USB-C.
There is even 4K 60Hz HDMI output with an active adapter and with power delivery passthrough.
Cable Matters makes one for about $25 on Amazon. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B06XNS7W63/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_1ObFzb3PSYEB0

faster than the 550ti for $10 more after rebate
that hard drive is made for laptops, it'll work just fine but you'll need an adapter plate to get it to fit in the case
you're buying a previous generation CPU and motherboard, not a problem so i'm just letting you know. you can get an i5 3570k and a z77 motherboard for a little bit more if you're so inclined
the HAF 912 is a cheap case disguised with molded plastic, the NZXT source 210 elite is a better case in every way for around the same price
power supply is overkill and kinda expensive, the corsair CX430 is $22 after rebate and will power your PC just as well
any video card that has DVI out will be able to output to HDMI with an adapter that usually comes in the box. HDMI and DVI have the same pins, so adapter (if you don't get one) are like $1 online: link. won't output audio though, so you'll need a 3.5mm to 3.5mm cable if you don't have one already
Get an HDMI to DVI adapter? $2.19 on Amazon.
There are numerous USB 3 video adapters out there. Below is a link to one.

Laptops usually have the GPU installed directly on the motherboard, making them next to impossible to replace (at least the laptops i have had my hands on (granted mostly business computers)).
Perhaps you can get the video to the TV by using the USB 3.0 port that you have. There seems to be USB 3.0 to HDMI Graphic Adapters out there, but i have no idea if they are good or if it even solves your problem.
Something like this
I'd suggest getting a USB 3.0 to HDMI adapter, this will allow you to connect another display to your computer. when shopping for these, be sure to check the max resolution supported by the adapter isn't lower than your screen resolution.
Here's an example product of what I'm talking about.
You can buy usb display adapters that have an hdmi port. There are many options but here's one : https://www.amazon.com/Cable-Matters-Adapter-2560x1440-1920x1200/dp/B00BPEV1XK
Not entirely sure this will work (hopefully someone can correct me if I'm wrong), but if you purchase an external video card it should allow you to hook up a second, extended display.

It's a bit laggy sometimes, so I'm considering an eGPU for running all three screens so I can have all in full res and no latency issues.
I've been using 3 of these hung off a trashcan for 4-5 years now with no trouble. I think the key is that they're active

Hi Takyon_dg, thanks for the info!
Here's a DisplayPort to HDMI adapter that we've tested with Windows Mixed Reality:
https://www.amazon.com/Cable-Matters-DisplayPort-Supporting-Technology/dp/B00EDT0072/
(Unfortunately, I'm not sure if any retailers in Canada sell this adapter. I tried to look for it on the NCIX, MemoryExpress, Amazon.ca and Newegg.ca web pages but didn't see it there)
Thanks!
Just FYI, you can get a DP to HDMI adapter for $17 on Amazon:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00EDT0072/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o07_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
In some cases you have to enable the integrated graphics in BIOS. In other cases you are not able to do this. I think you should find the options to enable integrated video in your Z87 chip set though I may be wrong.
If you can't find the option, then there is this: http://www.amazon.com/Cable-Matters-DisplayPort-Supporting-Technology/dp/B00EDT0072
EDIT: If you have an open HDMI port on your card, and your TV accepts HDMI, why are you trying to convert DP to HDMI?
If you utilize active rather than passive display port adapters it will work.
I used this guy to do 4 monitors from 1 card. https://www.amazon.com/Cable-Matters-DisplayPort-Supporting-Technology/dp/B00EDT0072
You can't use more than 3 non DP displays unless you use active DP adapters. Your TV is probably connected using a passive DP to HDMI adapter. You need an active one like this https://www.amazon.com/Cable-Matters-DisplayPort-Supporting-Technology/dp/B00EDT0072/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1482528470&sr=8-1&keywords=active+displayport+to+hdmi
You are probably using a passive adapter and need to get an active DP to HDMI adapter.
This is what I use with no problem:
https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B00EDT0072/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
though I bought it over a year ago and it was $20 cad.
Maybe that display port to hdmi adapter is bad? I've bought three of the active cable matters adapters and I don't remember them not working. I had one running a 25 ft hdmi that I gamed on at one point. The others I have used for work. You could try one and return it if it doesn't fix the problem.
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00EDT0072/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1
EDIT: Forgot to mention that I have the same 1080 as you. I am using all three display ports with accell display port cables (no adapters) and then a 4th monitor on the 25 ft HDMI and it's all been working great for the last couple days. The RGB option showed for all 4 monitors.
Have you tried USB-C to DisplayPort directly to verify if it's the adaptor or the cable that's the issue?
Most DisplayPort hardware, I guess dongles in particular, will be passive. For DisplayPort to DVI or HDMI you need to get an active convertor, something like this that will convert the DP signal to HDMI/DVI.
There's plenty of information on the topic here:
https://www.startech.com/uk/faq/displayport_converter_dp_multi_mode
Edit: This one seems to support 2560x1440 whilst the other may only reach 1920x1080: https://www.amazon.com/Sienoc-DisplayPort-Adapter-Converter-4096x2160-Black/dp/B00XXNER3M/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1484871155&sr=8-4&keywords=displayport+to+dvi+active
> active Displayport to DVI
https://www.amazon.com/Cable-Matters-Plated-DisplayPort-Adapter/dp/B00EDT01TO/ref=sr_1_3?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1511323915&sr=1-3&keywords=active+dvi+to+displayport
Looking for that... how come the top resolution they support is 1920x1200?
No idea if this supports 144 Hz, but it does do 1440p:
Cable Matters Active DisplayPort to DVI Adapter (Active DP to DVI Adapter) with Eyefinity Technology Support https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00EDT01TO
https://www.amazon.com/Cable-Matters-DisplayPort-Eyefinity-Technology/dp/B00EDT01TO/ref=sr_1_3?keywords=displayport+to+dvi-d+active&qid=1568212627&s=gateway&sr=8-3
​
As long as it's an active adapter it should support 1440p/60hz.
​
So then you just need a card with one DVI-D port and a DP port.
​
Edit:
https://www.amazon.com/XFX-1203MHz-RX-550P2SFG5-PCI-Express-Video/dp/B071XXZWT1/ref=sr_1_4?keywords=rx+550&qid=1568212967&s=gateway&sr=8-4
​
I think this should be able to drive two desktops at 1440/60. I wouldn't want to game on it or use any kind of demanding programs.
You could try something like this. I think an RMA through sapphire is your best bet since an adapter isn't guaranteed to work once or any time after that.
An HDMI to DVI adapter like this should work and it's what I would buy: http://www.amazon.com/AmazonBasics-HDMI-DVI-Adapter-Cable/dp/B00NH11X64/ref=sr_1_2?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1459211217&sr=1-2&keywords=hdmi+to+dvi
If it doesn't then you might need an active adapter like this: http://www.amazon.com/Cable-Matters-Plated-DisplayPort-Adapter/dp/B00EDT01TO/ref=sr_1_1?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1459211233&sr=1-1&keywords=hdmi+to+dvi+active
You want the best connection possible which is always digital. DVI/Displayport/HDMI are all superior to VGA. Just avoid using VGA and you should be fine.
The reviews seem to be rather full of complaints about this particular adapter, issues similar to yours, I cannot say if it's your issue, but if you can return/refund it, do so.
I use this one: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00EDT01TO/ and it works great.
I am curious about what test failed. For a work phone I would also reconsider joining the insider preview. Be careful with usb-c charging cables since many have the incorrect resistor.

Its when you go from display port to HDMI that it gets REALLY expensive.
HDMI to DisplayPort Adapter. Gonna need a DisplayPort cable to go along with it.
Thanks for the help man.. I'm trying this one out. Apparently, it doesnt work with PS4 but should work with xbox. If not I'll return it and just buy a new monitor.

These guys make a working HDMI 2.0 to DP converter, however it only supports 1080p, 2160p/4K output, their device is firmware upgrade-able so you could try asking them if they would support 1440p output.
https://www.siig.com/hdmi-2-0-to-displayport-1-2-converter-4kx2k-60hz.html
This converter can turn HDMI into DP but it's meant for PC's and it's hard to know if it will work with Xbox 2018 1440p support.
https://www.amazon.com/Cable-Matters-DisplayPort-Adapter-Supporting/dp/B00JQORLCG/
Club3D make this PC GPU converter, it turn HDMI 1.4 into DP, same as above
https://www.amazon.com/Club3D-CAC-2330-DisplayPort-Adapter-Female/dp/B076KXYKN2/
There is this cheap Belkin HDMI 2.0 to DVI cable that might be worth a try.
https://www.amazon.com/Belkin-HDMI-DVI-D-Cable-Supports/dp/B004W44YIO/
​
So I think this cable should be the thing to make it work. The whole idea behind this cable is to allow laptops with HDMI to connect to a monitor with a DP input. And since the headset is technically a monitor, then this should work. Someone in the reviews even said that they were able to get 144hz running with this. So this would be the last hope. Some other person told me the coupler I linked before might just cause more issues. This has gotta be the answer.
You can use something like this to connect your DP monitor to the extra HDMI port:
https://www.amazon.com/Cable-Matters-DisplayPort-Adapter-Supporting/dp/B00JQORLCG
Ok that is a DisplayPort to HDMI adapter. You won't get DP out of that it is only a one way conversion. You need a HDMI to DP converter.
This is the least expensive one I see on Amazon. http://www.amazon.com/Cable-Matters-Plated-DisplayPort-Converter/dp/B00JQORLCG/ref=sr_1_8?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1417560203&sr=1-8&keywords=hdmi+to+displayport Still not sure if it would handle HDCP correctly though.
They exist. I have this one. Now will it work with freesync is a different question.
https://www.amazon.com/Cable-Matters-DisplayPort-Converter-Supporting/dp/B00JQORLCG/ref=sr_1_20_sspa?ie=UTF8&qid=1521600887&sr=8-20-spons&keywords=hdmi+to+dp+adaptor&psc=1
Is it an HDMI to Display Port adapter or is it a Display Port to HDMI adapter that you try to connect in a reverse order? Cause googling for Insignia HDMI to Display Port adapter doesn't bring any hits.
HDMI to Display Port adapters are not so common and they are more expensive. Here are some from Amazon (1),(2),(3),(4).
So what you need is a male HDMI-female DisplayPort adapter and a DisplayPort cable
Edit: Here's an example
Edit 2: The reason why they only work one-way is that it takes a specialized circuit to convert from one to the other, and on top of that the circuitry requires power that HDMI ports can't provide (hence the USB connector on the one I linked). DisplayPort -> HDMI doesn't need the USB connector because the DisplayPort port has more power available.
I am looking all over and honestly this is the only thing I found. http://www.amazon.com/Cable-Matters-Plated-DisplayPort-Converter/dp/B00JQORLCG/ref=sr_1_9?ie=UTF8&qid=1422654000&sr=8-9&keywords=hdmi+to+displayport
I can't guarantee it will work and it requires power through the USB connection, and a separate displayport cable. There is a lot of Displayport to HDMI but almost no HDMI to DP.
Should theoretically work: https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00JQORLCG/
What what specific laptop do you have?
Dammit, you're right, sorry.
Just checked my 1440p monitor with a cheap adapter, doesn't work above 1080p.. and it seems to be a limit of passive cables. I've found looking for apple accessories is cheaper, since they used mDP for years, this is a pretty cheap one with good reviews: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00K0UDJFI
I'm not sure if it can do 60fps for you though, since it's limited to 30Hz at 4K. Your monitor seems to have a Displayport connector, a mini Displayport to Displayport cable would probably be the better choice, since there's no need for an active component.
You can use this Mini DisplayPort to HDMI adapter. DisplayPort can carry audio, so it will pass that through the HDMI cable.
If you read the specs of the Mini monitor it only displays up to HD in quality.
You'll need other hardware to get it to display 4k.
If your television set doesn't have a thunderbolt input, you're going to need 4k hardware to get from your Mac to it. None of it is cheap (expect to pay about $1k for something like this ultrastudio4k
You could try a Tbolt to 4k adpater. This is cheap and easy...
But it isn't truly what you should look at. Technically nothing is right on connecting to that TV for evaluative purposes. Using the $15 adpater (which is where I'd start btw) means that Premiere is outputting it as if it was another 'monitor' - wrong color space, OS interfereing with added color management.
But technically, color fidelity isn't important, because you're going to a consumer TV. Just try to get it 'close' to what you're looking at on screen. You'll never get it to match.
I have the exact same laptop and had the same issues as you mentioned. I almost gave up, but getting a good 4k mini DisplayPort to HDMI adapter worked. Thanks!
The one I used:

How are you connecting it? My T440s with base graphics runs my ultrawide like a champ with a MDP -> HDMI adapter. I used one of the HDMI adapters and an HDMI cable that specifically advertise compatibility with ultrawide resolutions, but I suspect any newish HDMI cable and adapter would work.
​
FWIW this is the adapter I got and this is the hdmi cable
This adapter is working fine for me
I'm using this one with my Rift fine. http://www.amazon.com/Cable-Matters-Gold-Plated-DisplayPort-Adapter/dp/B00K0UDYLM?ie=UTF8&psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00

This one worked for me on both the Rift and Vive. http://www.amazon.com/Cable-Matters-Gold-Plated-DisplayPort-Adapter/dp/B00K0UDYLM
My bad, I should have paid closer attention. This is the proper one, from my order history:
Cable Matters Gold-Plated DisplayPort to HDMI Male to Female Adapter - 4K Resolution Ready https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00K0UDYLM/
I have been using this to run two 4K@60hz displays off of a 960.

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00K0UDYLM/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_awd_ex1KwbHT9WXSM
Can't tell for sure on latency since they go to TVs, but there's not a lot of room in there for much circuitry, so it can't be much. I'm pretty sure it actually just tells the graphics card to output HDMI over the pins and then routes them to the right places on the HDMI connector. Could be wrong though.
I've purchased this headless ghost and this DP to HDMI adapter.
It required some tinkering in the nvidia's control panel custom resolution settings but everything works flawlessly.
Just make sure that VD is NOT running while you mess with the custom resolution.
My headless ghost custom resolution settings are here
If you notice that the nvidia settings aren't "sticking" use the windows resolution manager and under "display adapter properties" you should see a 90hz option under refresh rate for your chosen resolution.
planning on using the adapter for my monitor and the raw HDMI connection for the rift, this is the one i bought, but i have no idea when it's getting here:

Here is an active adapter. I have no idea how good it works, but this is what you need.
https://www.amazon.com/gofanco%C2%AE-DVI-D-Active-Converter-compatibility/dp/B00RWFT8NG
You're going to need something like this then.
https://www.amazon.com/gofanco-Pro-DVI-D-Active-Converter/dp/B00RWFT8NG?th=1
The 1080 dropped support for VGA so you'll need an active adapter to convert the signal from digital to analog.
I had the same problem when I bought my 1050 Ti. Basically, all you need is a VGA to DVI-D "active" converter, something like this.
That's a passive adapter, and won't work AFAIK (without the 4 pins around the bar, there's no analog signal at all to pass to the VGA side).
You need something like this, an active adapter:
https://www.amazon.com/gofanco-Pro-DVI-D-Active-Converter/dp/B00RWFT8NG
There may be an active DVI-D to VGA cable but I haven't looked in awhile, but a normal Active adapter should work - https://www.amazon.com/gofanco-Pro-DVI-D-Active-Converter/dp/B00RWFT8NG
You were using a DVI Passive to VGA adapter which is why it doesn't work. Need an Active DVI-D to vga.
The surface dock has a mini-displayport port. So you need a active mini displayport to hdmi adapter.
I've used this one and it works well: https://www.amazon.com/Plugable-DisplayPort-Supports-displays-3840x2160/dp/B00S0BWR2K

If you happen to see a cable that does it right @ 60hz, please share!
And as for your question, I would ideally want a better framerate -- am I misunderstanding sthng?
Thanks for your help.
EDIT: my understanding is that "HDMI 2.0" is nonsensical for -CABLES- -- is this correct? It's a reference to an adapter, and I would be using a standard HDMI cable from the HDMI2.0 adapter to my TV. Right?

Sure, this is the card i'm looking at, seams to have DP1.2 HDMI 1.4 and DVI CEX with this Adapter
The gt1030 is a good shout though not too far over my budget, i wonder which is the most powerful.
FYI.. the adaptor I used. https://www.amazon.co.uk/Plugable-Active-DisplayPort-Adapter-DisplayPort-Enabled/dp/B00S0C7QO8/ref=redir_mobile_desktop?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1&ref_=ya_aw_oh_bia_dp
And I'll happily delete these posts if you think it's wise.
That adapter won't work. The cheap ones only support lower resolutions under 1080p at 60 Hz. You need an active 4K capable adapter that can drive 90Hz like this one: https://www.amazon.com/Plugable-DisplayPort-Supports-displays-3840x2160/dp/B00S0C7QO8
That won't work. Oculus requires HDMI 1.4, WMR requires HDMI 2.0. That adapter is equivalent to a DP -> HDMI 1.4. You'll want either the Plugable one or the Club3D one. Yeah, they're more expensive and you might be cheap, but they're more expensive because you require more bandwidth than the one you posted.
The one you posted would work, but your framerate would be locked and you might as well just use the onboard HDMI 1.4 at that point.
Display Port accepts digital signal input with backward compatibility to HDMI which is also a type of digital interface. The specs on your GPU say that it supports up to 4096 x 2160 digital resolution so you won't have any troubles GPU wise. You might need a different converter though. I linked that one just for illustration purposes.
There are several models out there so you certainly should be able to find one that fits your need in a nearby shop or online.
Edit: Added link.
Get one of these
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00S0C7QO8/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_ZTrTBbC671J6P
That converter is not capable of 4k60fps. It's passive and uses DP++ to convert, which only supports 1920x1200. You need an active packet conversion cable to do this
Edit: This is the adapter I use for my TV
Plugable Active DisplayPort to HDMI 2.0 Adapter (Supports displays up to 4K / UHD / 3840x2160@60Hz) https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B00S0C7QO8/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_D9A9Bb4JTCXSK
I did a research about the Explorer (since I noticed that people love their Explorers and they said good things about it) so I got interested in it as well and I think I can reccommend you to **not use the flip up display thing since it is sensitive and it can break easily** (instead use the Flashlight feature that allows you to see the real world using its cameras without taking off the HMD)
​
As for the BT donle I heard good things about this **Plugable BT dongle** :

Also some GPUs require the right display port (in order to get 90 fps at max and not only 60 fps) so I am also going to buy the **Plugable Active DisplayPort to HDMI 2.0 Adapter**

These are the stuff I decided to buy for my yet to be purchased Explorer after doing my research.
Looks much better.
A couple things to consider though.
RAM - I would change this to 2x4GB instead of 1x8GB. Yes in the future if you wanted 16GB of RAM (not sure why you would) you would have to toss your old sticks, but with only 1 stick you dont get the benefits of dual channel. In this situation, the benefits of dual channel are necessary.
GPU/Mobo/Monitors - So the mobo you picked only has two video output ports; 1 DVI and 1 HDMI. The problem is the monitors you picked only has VGA and DVI, so you wouldn't be able to plug both of them in. The easiest thing to do is get an adapter for HDMI to DVI. Another option is adding a cheap video card (An RX460 would suffice) to avoid the issue all together.
Cool cool, 1xDVI 2x DP. What you can do with this is pick up an HDMI-DVI adapter like this one and slap it into the HDMI output of the card. Bob's your uncle, now you're running.
e: if you have to, you can go to Best Buy, but I wouldn't recommend it because Best Buy is terrible. MicroCenter and Frye's are your best bets, followed by Amazon/Newegg.
> Still, generally speaking you don't have to look at system requirements when buying a console game.
You usually don't have to do that for gaming PCs, too. I've been gaming on PC for years, and I never once referenced system requirements. I used to manually adjust settings, but with nVidia's GEForce Experience software, I don't even need to do that, as it optimizes settings automatically based on your PC.
>I understand that newer PC's and Laptops will have HDMI out on them but I still see several people with older system's that are without one. And because they aren't using them for gaming I doubt they feel the need to buying a new one until their current one stops working.
In that case, you can buy a VGA to HDMI adapter off Amazon for $5 or a DVI to HDMI adapter off Amazon for $2.

> I'm all ears on how to plug a DVI cable into a HDMI port
Oddly enough, what the other guy didn't tell you, with his lifetime experience on working with computer hardware is that most of the DVI and HDMI protocols are shared. i.e. most of the time, the connector is irrelevant, just buy an adapter and turn one into another. Things like these:
https://www.amazon.com/Generic-GC2080-Adapter-Plated-Connector/dp/B000FUVNX8
https://www.amazon.com/AmazonBasics-HDMI-DVI-Adapter-Cable/dp/B00NH11X64/
But I never remember which end is male or female, if I had to guess, I think end of the HDMI cable is male. That would make the second one the better choice. But I really can't remember about the DVI end.
The tedious differences between DVI and HDMI should not matter to you (or to your needs at least). HDMI also carry sound, DVI can also include analog RGB signal (etc)
Also the max resolution that can be carried aren't only dependent on the cable, the GPU do have limitations of their own. I can't find the specs of the Radeon HD 4600, I don't know if it can push 1440p.
Now for the driver issue, you're gonna have to buy a box of donut or a handful of cupcake and nicely ask the network peeps to come and install the right driver for the card, since cupcakes are so good, they would be so kind :)
You can get HDMI-DVI adapter. HDMI and DVI are electrically compatible, HDMI is basically DVI with audio and smaller connector.
https://www.amazon.com/Generic-GC2080-Adapter-Plated-Connector/dp/B000FUVNX8
Yes adapters are a thing. https://www.amazon.com/Generic-GC2080-Adapter-Plated-Connector/dp/B000FUVNX8
Any reason that you arent gonna just use the DVI port? As far as I know every 960 comes with one.
That's a bit of a relief, I was not prepared to buy a new monitor.
Any kind of adapter would do? Kinda like this?
Going from HDMI to USB won't work. And you can't daisy chain using DVI.
If you have HDMI output available on the macbook, you can get a HDMI-> DVI adapter/cable if the monitor does not have HDMI input.
Either something like this http://www.amazon.com/HDMI-Adapter-Plated-Connector-Female/dp/B000FUVNX8 if you have a DVI cable.
or a straight up HDMI-DVI cable: http://www.amazon.com/AmazonBasics-HDMI-DVI-Adapter-Cable/dp/B001TH7T2U/ref=sr_1_1?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1418893883&sr=1-1&keywords=hdmi+dvi+cable
Whether or not the macbook will output to two monitors at the same time you'd have to get a Mac user to answer, but I can't imagine that it wouldn't.

It may not work, but worth a shot and amazons return policy is good
If you have extra USB ports try using a USB to HDMI adapter like this one
It would help to know what exactly your current setup is.
Given you don't have an HDMI out currently, I'm assuming you don't have a dGPU at all?actually read your post. What chipset do you have, and what's your [current] budget?You can, of course, order a USB 3.0 to HDMI solution, but they aren't really reasonably priced if you plan on upgrading other parts in the future anyways.
It may make sense to just outright replace your MoBo with one that has an HDMI out if you don't ever want to have a DGPU - especially if you don't plan on updating chipsets since older chipset MoBos will be hard to find as time goes on.
If you DO plan on getting a dgpu at some point, a low profile 1050Ti may be a good solution without limiting your case options later on. Realistically, though, if this is just for displaying media the 1050ti is likely way more than you need - and you could get a cheaper 1030, I just dont' recommend the 1030 since it's a terrible performance/dollar. At $150 for the 1050ti though, outright replacing the MoBo may be your most reasonable solution.
IDK if there is a low profile, single slot 1050TI out there, that would be ideal for future case options if there is.
Which laptop model do you have?
This might work for you but i can't comment as to the quality.
Then you'll run one of the monitors from the Thunderbolt port and have to use a USB 3 to HDMI adapter like this one:
https://www.amazon.com/Cable-Matters-Adapter-2560x1440-1920x1200/dp/B00BPEV1XK
I've had mixed results with these types of adapters, so YMMV.
https://www.amazon.com.au/Matters-Adapter-Windows-2560x1440-1920x1200/dp/B00BPEV1XK
Something like that to one of your 2 USB 3 ports, and HDMI out to the other monitor, should work fine, not going to be amazingly fast, ie; no gaming but regular screen use should be fine.
Right now I have a thunderbolt -> hdmi running a second monitor that is NOT a mirror but rather an extension of my MBP. I've done some more research and it seems like this product:
https://www.amazon.com/Cable-Matters-Adapter-2560x1440-1920x1200/dp/B00BPEV1XK?ie=UTF8&psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o05_s00
could be the one I need. Any thoughts before I buy? At the end of the day I want 3 screens that do not duplicate each other, one included is the MBP screen.
Edit: Yeah, I've done the research that suggests without a product like this one ^ above, it won't work, period.
It looks like a USB to DVI Adapter may be what you need.
@FishPotato
Im wondering can I connect the HDMI monitor cable into this adapter into a USB 3.0 hub?
https://www.amazon.com/Cable-Matters-Adapter-2560x1440-1920x1200/dp/B00BPEV1XK
You could get something like this:

A USB 3 to HDMI adapter. It SHOULD work. There are cheaper ones.
I am not recommending that particular adapter, just throwing it out as an example. I see one as cheap as 10 bucks on Bestbuy.com.
You would need a USB to HDMI adapter. Something like this for the 2nd external screen.
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00BPEV1XK
The solutions to do this is to daisy chain monitors that will support that, use something like Matrox, or drive one monitor from Thunderbolt and the other with a USB adaptor. Both the Matrox and USB are essentially external video cards that allow you to drive another monitor from the MacBook Air.
I haven't found a solution that is simple or cheap yet. The adapters that have multiple video ports only support one monitor from the ones I have tried.
Matrox: http://www.matrox.com/graphics/en/products/gxm/dh2go/digital_me/
Example of USB: https://www.amazon.com/Cable-Matters-Adapter-2560x1440-1920x1200/dp/B00BPEV1XK/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1486129982&sr=8-3&keywords=MacBook+USB+to+video
So I could just use something like this to get what I'm describing?
https://www.amazon.com/Cable-Matters-SuperSpeed-Adapter-Windows/dp/B00BPEV1XK
Your model, as listed on newegg.com, actually has the Intel HD Graphics 5000 iGPU.
Moving on, I'm operating under the assumption that one of your monitors is plugged into the VGA port, and the other two are plugged into the DVI-D ports of your docking station - is that correct?
I suspect the issue may stem from the fact that your iGPU only supports a maximum resolution of 1920x1200 over the DVI interface, though it seems odd that this would be the case, given that there are two discreet ports; however, I would not be surprised if it happened to be the case that your laptop sees the docking station as one unified port, and thus will only output to one of your monitors, since (1920 1080) 2 >> 1920 * 1200.
Now, I don't mean to criticize, but I am a little concerned that you spent $180 + tax on a docking station for the stated purpose of running two monitors off of it when your computer also has an HDMI port. I understand that your monitors are strictly VGA and DVI input, but that doesn't mean they explicitly have to run off of a DVI port. You can also buy a single USB 3.0 to DVI adapter to round everything out.
If you have some reason to keep the docking station (you want the extra USB 3.0 ports, for instance), it's obviously more than OK to keep it. However, if the only reason you bought it was for the DVI ports, return it. Get an HDMI to DVI adapter (I've used cheap ones before, worked fine), and then a USB 2.0/3.0 to DVI adapter. I think that should solve your issue, and hopefully save you a few bucks too. If you want to keep the docking station, just buy the HDMI to DVI cable and you should be good to go.
EDIT: a link
It's possible to extend it with something like this but I have no idea how well it will turn out. Check out the reviews and see if it is something along the lines of what you want to use.
Maybe something like this (if you have a extra USB slot) https://www.amazon.com/Cable-Matters-Adapter-2560x1440-1920x1200/dp/B00BPEV1XK. Hope this helps.
There are USB to HDMI converters around so no.

Now there are frame rate issues on those peripherals, you can't play on a screen driven like this. But in a few years ? Definitely...
All one have to do is integrate the power of a modern graphic card in the adapter, OR we'll have to a processor that would be so powerful that a dedicated card would not be required.
I love technology...
If you have USB 3.0 on your laptop, there exist proper USB 3 to HDMI adapters.
If you have a USB C port then you can use that as well with a USB C to HDMI adapter.
So then its laptop screen, hdmi out to 1st monitor, usb to hdmi out for 2nd monitor. Yay 3 screens.

That's what my coworker and I use. We have Intel 5500 on board graphics, which isn't powerful. I assume it will work well on other machines as well, given you have a 3.0 port available.
Ok, you could purchase a USB 3.0 to HDMI converter, and connect one monitor to the native HDMI port on the Z710. Then plug a USB end into the laptop and an HDMI cord to the other monitor and the HDMI end on the adapter. You'll have to make sure that you configure everything in the display properties to make them work independently, but this should be a good solution.
This might just work, but no gaurentee's. http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00BPEV1XK#Ask
Its not exactly what your looking for. But an option Ive used to hook up my 3rd monitor (read: 42in LG 1080p) was a USB3.0 to HDMI converter.
Streams perfectly, checked on color and blacks. Played Bioshock Infintity on it. Was a great solution incase you find a great deal on a card for 2/3 slots and need an extra :)
Edit: $50 on Amazon Prime http://amzn.com/B00BPEV1XK
I have this one. http://amzn.com/B00BPEV1XK
Updated drivers came out on Friday and they're already much better. Especially with the latest Yosemite public beta. So when 10.10.3 is fully out I am sure user experiences will go up.
In the Radeon 200 Series we added the ability to support 3 concurrent non-DP connections. These must be connected to the system at boot time, and cannot be hotplugged while the system is on. The 290X/290 is the exception to the "no hotplug" rule (hardware reasons).
You can connect 2xDVI + 1xHDMI at boot and all three should work. The fourth monitor, if not natively DisplayPort, must be adapted with an active adapter and connected to the GPU's DisplayPort socket.
Here is an active HDMI-to-DP adapter. Here is an active DVI-to-DP adapter.
If that fourth monitor requires Dual Link DVI for maximum functionality, the active adapters for DL-DVI are considerably more expensive at $50-100 each. DL-DVI has more complicated timings and signalling that makes the adapter electronics more expensive.
Is your Mini DP to DVI adapter an "ACTIVE" adapter? That's usually the culprit.
Male DVI
Female DVI
So something like this? https://www.amazon.com/Cable-Matters-Active-DisplayPort-Adapter/dp/B00EDSZYII/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1502143135&sr=8-3&keywords=active+adapter+mini+displayport+to+dvi
Active digital converters are a thing...
Such as this: http://www.amazon.com/Cable-Matters-Plated-DisplayPort-Adapter/dp/B00EDSZYII/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1420231885&sr=8-1&keywords=active+mini+displayport+to+dvi
I think the Intel guys are full of shit, but if that is what they are saying your next step is then meh. You need something like this: https://smile.amazon.com/Cable-Matters-DisplayPort-Supporting-Technology/dp/B00EDSZYII
Plus a DVI cable then too.
It happens regardless if the pro is docked or not, but I'm using the following display port adapters:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00EDSZYII/
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00E71GNBI/
This one works.
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00EDSZYII
The cables you linked to on Amazon are not active cables. You will need to use the link that Smarmysnail post and click on the HDMI model.
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00EDSZYII
Did the same thing so don't feel bad. I used this model by Cable Matters for my DVI monitors on the dock.
You need an active displayport adapter. I had this exact problem when I bought a regular displayport to HDMI cable and it wouldn't let me connect all three at the same time.
Probably a limitation of the card. I think it is that series of cards that had limited number of clocks available. In DVI and HDMI the signal has a clock signal to keep everything in sync.
Those cards can only provide 2 clock signals so you can only use any combination of 2 clocked outputs. Clocked outputs would be:
So while a passive adaptor will work with that card, it won't work in the situation you are in.
You need to get an active DP->HDMI cable.
Like this:
http://www.amazon.com/Cable-Matters-DisplayPort-Supporting-Technology/dp/B00EDT0072
Bought these:
1
2
I really don't want to waste anymore money on this lol.
Which two did you buy and what is the resolution and hz of your monitor?
I would expect something like this to be a better one. If it supports eyefinity that is a good sign that it didn't skimp on something. But the main thing you want is an "active" one.
This is one I have and use for hooking my laptop to tvs. Never had an issue: http://www.amazon.com/Cable-Matters-DisplayPort-Supporting-Technology/dp/B00EDT0072
This is a newer company and you can see their adapter is smaller than the other two, but it makes the same claims of support. This one even specifically says hdmi 1.4 support. http://www.amazon.com/Plugable-DisplayPort-Supports-displays-3840x2160/dp/B00S0C7QO8
Other than those 3, I do not think any other adapter on amazon would be worth buying. The rest are junk that may work with a 1080p tv, but that is it.
Make sure your hdmi to displayport is using an 'active' adapter. I use the same set of connections and had to get the right adapter.
I used this one.
I'm having the exact issue as OP but I only have one card, G1 970..
Here are my available display i/o:
1 x HDMI / 3 x DisplayPort / 1 x Dual-link DVI-I / 1 x Dual-link DVI-D
Currently, I have 2 monitors in DP, 1 monitor in HDMI... and Rift plugged into an adapter to a DP port. How would I change my connections to get them all to function?
edit: would this fix my issues? https://www.amazon.com/Cable-Matters-DisplayPort-Supporting-Technology/dp/B00EDT0072/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1467485486&sr=8-4&keywords=HDMI+to+DP+active
you need an active Display port adapter if you dont already have one. the adapter will say 'Active' or 'AMD Eyefinity' compatible on it.
this is the only one i can find on the best buy site:
http://www.bestbuy.com/site/visiontek-displayport-to-dvi-d-adapter/4582884.p?id=1218492340781&skuId=4582884&st=display%20port%20to%20DVI&cp=1&lp=7

i cannot find an HDMI one on the BB site.
if you must have HDMI on the middle monitor, you would probably have to order it:
http://www.amazon.com/Cable-Matters-Plated-DisplayPort-Adapter/dp/B00EDT0072/
I'm a little skeptical of that one because it looks like a passive converter even though it's listed as active.
Normally it will look something like this: https://www.amazon.com/Cable-Matters-DisplayPort-Supporting-Technology/dp/B00EDT0072/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_product_top?ie=UTF8
The size is a bit larger because it needs to use an additional chip to convert the signal, otherwise you'll wind up with the same issue of only being able to duplicate one of your screens.
It's a limitation in the digital video output of the cards (AMD has this issue as well) If you want to run 3 displays off one card ONE of the displays has to be either native display port or connected to Displayport with an Active Adapter.
I want three monitors and am planning to purchase the ASUS VS239H-P. I have two monitors already plugged in with hdmi and dvi. I am using an amd card and I believe I need an active converter to plug the third monitor into display port. I just want make sure that this is the right one to buy.
After doing loads more research, I think this might solve my problem.
Seems like an adapter issue, you might have a passive one instead of an active adapter.
You'll need something like this
Can't guarantee 100% that this will work but hey, it's not extremely expensive so if it doesn't work it's not that bad..
I'm hoping it will, keep me updated if you do decide to get one :)
I have not yet tried any other computers.
I have the same issue on my graphics card's hdmi 2.0b port and on its display port using this adapter which I believe is supported:
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00EDT0072/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_ru2wCbX5ZTKBV
Be aware that there is such a thing as an "active adapter" and a "passive adapter". The cheaper ones are likely passive ones - they will be unlabelled and will not work.
You need an active adapter.
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00EDT0072/
I think your best bet will be buying an adapter. You want an active display port adapter. It needs to be "active" meaning it's the adapter itself that handles the conversion.
Active displayport to VGA is cheapest at $15 and looks just as good as VGA straight off the card. If one of your monitors is already using an analog connection, then just pick up one of these.
The active displayport to DVI or HDMI is an all digital conversion so there's no quality loss. They cost a bit more at around 20 bucks.
IMPORTANT EDIT: Just saw a question on that page, someone asked if its active or passive, everyone answers passive so there's your problem.
Yeah, doesn't really show. I assume the adapter is not active unless it says so, why miss a marketing chance right? Also if I compare yours to mine, mine is a lot chunkier, as are most of the active ones I find online, like this one
https://www.amazon.com/Cable-Matters-DisplayPort-Supporting-Technology/dp/B00EDT0072
Source for all this info is me running into the same thing a couple of years ago. Exact same problem, seeing 3 screens in settings but only being able to activate 2.
If without the adapter the monitor runs at its native resolution then it's almost certainly your adapter, which appears to just be a simple passive cable.
Something like this should fit the bill.
Edit:adapter is the first result from a web search and not a specific recommendation. I've never looked into adapters just saw some things when I was looking for a new monitor. You're better off doing some research on which adapter is the best buy.
>re out why things aren't working through your DisplayPort.
>
>Just to confirm, which (make/model) adapter are you using?
Hello. I'm currently using a cable matters adapter I bought from Amazon:
https://www.amazon.com/Cable-Matters-DisplayPort-Supporting-Technology/dp/B00EDT0072/ref=nav_ya_signin?ie=UTF8&qid=1537410927&sr=8-13&keywords=cable+matters+hdmi+to+displayport&
​
The portal recognizes the headset, but no video output.
I have also tried another one from Plugable earlier:
​
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00S0C7QO8/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
​
but with the same results.
It does, but I did some research on this recently and it's important to get the right cable.
If your monitor has a DP++ input, you can use a normal "passive" adaptor/cable. This means the monitor can handle the conversion from HDMI to DisplayPort.
If it doesn't, you need an "active" adaptor which has a chip inside it that handles the conversion. Something like this
I never ended up needing to buy an adaptor myself, but yeah, that's what I found when I looked into it.
More info here: https://www.startech.com/au/faq/displayport_converter_dp_multi_mode
I use this without any issues.
https://www.amazon.com/Cable-Matters-DisplayPort-Supporting-Technology/dp/B00EDT0072
Will this do the trick? http://www.amazon.com/Cable-Matters-DisplayPort-Supporting-Technology/dp/B00EDT0072/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1452599494&sr=8-1&keywords=active+hdmi+to+displayport+adapter
Hopefully because I just amazon same day shipped it :)
On the listing you linked, I notice it doesn't specify passive or active. Only doing 1920x1080 makes it look like an older active chip. BTW You can ask the monitor about what resolution its getting from the computer.
This is the exact one I purchased. It works at 2560x1080
For the threads on LTT that recommend against the DVI to HDMI adapter, what generation of video card are they talking about? DVI protocol itself has limits, but these limits got worked around by sticking HDMI ports on the monitors and then you talk HDMI to the monitor.
Does the DisplayPort icon have a little "++" next to it like this? Or does it only have the "DP" part? If it has the ++, then you can use a cheap cable to convert. Otherwise, you need something more expensive.
I did some more reading and found out I need an active DisplayPort adapter because my GPU needs two special clocks for the other two ports. DVI and HDMI both use this clock, but DisplayPort doesn't, so to have a third monitor I need an adapter that will take that DisplayPort signal, actively convert it into what I need (HDMI), and then output that signal. I plan to be getting this one, hopefully that should do the trick.
Thank you for your assistance, it's greatly appreciated.
No, you need an active adapter like this
I'm using this one, which is the other recommended one: https://www.amazon.ca/Cable-Matters-Plated-DisplayPort-Adapter/dp/B00EDT0072/ref=redir_mobile_desktop?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1&ref_=ya_aw_od_pi
The .ca page has some conflicting info I see. At one point it says 1920x1200, and at one point it says 4K. The .com page doesn't have the same disparity. There are reviews on there of people using it for WMR and getting 90 FPS though. I'll contact the seller about it to confirm, but I believe it to be the right adapter.
There are a few straight lines of stuck pixels down the screen and it judders like it's not running 90hz. The adapter works fine with my TV (except for 5.1 audio, it only does stereo for some reason). This is the one I have: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00EDT0072/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o05_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 which seems like it should work based on the specs
If your HDMI monitor is 1080p/60hz, any eight dollar adapter should do you; if it's more than 1080p or more than 60hz, you need a more expensive active adapter.
I had this exact problem and I picked up this one from Amazon:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00EDT0072?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00
This adapter is also Eyefinity compatible.
From what I've gathered I think I may need this adapter here http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00EDT0072?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=ox_sc_act_title_1&smid=A1AMUYYA3CT6HJ but I am not sure so I'm hoping someone who knows for sure can help. :P
Thanks! I ended up picking this one up.

I'll let you know how it goes!
Buy this:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00EDT0072/
I use it with my samsung odyssey and it works fantastic.
I’m familiar with active adapters, i just found this one on amazon after reading the comment and wanted to know the circumstances where one would cost so much compared to the one I found ($19 USD today)
Hey there! I do IT/SOHO Support on the side, so I feel like I could help you, but I am gonna need a few more details. I will provide brief explanations for the questions in parentheses which may solve your issue outright. Here we go!
EDIT: So just for perspective with my XFX RX480 8GB reference model: I have two monitors. One is connected through an Active Display Port --> DVI-D adapter --> DVI-D Monitor ( this adapter ) and the other monitor uses an HDMI (male) to DVI-D Male cable. If you are trying to use VGA, you would be best off spending money on a new monitor/tv. The tech to convert analog/digital signals is overpriced and full of issues.
Wow, I would have never figured this out on my own. Thank you.
Would you recommend something like this: https://www.amazon.com/DisplayPort-DVI-Adapter-1920x1200-Converter/dp/B004SUO1GM
Or this: https://www.amazon.com/Cable-Matters-DisplayPort-Eyefinity-Technology/dp/B00EDT01TO
great, I will be ordering this one:
http://www.amazon.com/Cable-Matters-Plated-DisplayPort-Adapter/dp/B00EDT01TO/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1413763655&sr=8-2&keywords=active+displayport
I really can't thank you enough for all your help.
You need an active DP->DVI adapter like this one: https://www.amazon.com/Cable-Matters-DisplayPort-Eyefinity-Technology/dp/B00EDT01TO . Then you can go all the way up to 2560x1440.
I'm using a DVI-D cable and I know it supports 144hz because I've used the same DVI-D cable on my other computer to do 144hz only difference is I didn't have to use adapter. My 580 only has 3 mini hdmi and 1 Displayport. No DVi connections, hence the adapter.
EDIT: apparently I need an active adapter like this http://www.amazon.com/Cable-Matters-Plated-DisplayPort-Adapter/dp/B00EDT01TO/ref=pd_sim_23_5?ie=UTF8&dpID=41m4rhbeqmL&dpSrc=sims&preST=_AC_UL160_SR160%2C160_&refRID=0N4A2NJ4PNRV3PYCKPNA
I have a monitor similar to this, the Acer G276HLGbd which is just a VA panel instead of IPS. I use a DVI to DP adapter for it, and it's perfect. I use it as my side portrait monitor, but only had free Display Ports on my 980ti, so I got the adapter and it's great.
And more specifically, this is the adapter I'm using: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00EDT01TO/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1
No, but this will, http://www.amazon.com/Cable-Matters-Plated-DisplayPort-Adapter/dp/B00EDT01TO/ref=sr_1_1?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1425530713&sr=1-1&keywords=displayport+to+dvi+active+adapter
The difference is that this one is an active adapter, for some reason AMD requires an Active adapter for three screens.
I got it to work now. The problem is because I didn't plug my 24-pin all the way in. Right now after I turn on my pc, it takes about 20 sec for my monitor to turn on, is it because of the HDMI -> VGA being a passive adapter? I ordered a Displayport -> DVI from amazon, maybe that can help it?
Here is the link:
https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B00EDT01TO/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00EDT01TO?psc=1
That's just plain false
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00EDT01TO/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
That is the adapter I bought.
Ah, I forgot one detail that's really annoying. At least one of your monitors must be hooked up via displayport. My monitors don't have a DP input, so I went with an adapter instead. This one should work for you. Whatever you do, do not buy a passive adapter. It must be an active adapter.
I tried it with two converters
yes i would recommend the active displayport adapters to achieve 4x simultaneous displays.
curious - this one says its active. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00EDT01TO/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o06_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
have you tried that one^ and the two mini-DP's only - leaving the VGA one out. i'd be interested to know if that gets you 3x displays.
Probably not. but look closely at the adapter you bought. It only supports 1920x1080.
So your not going to get your full QHD support.
Damn it, you have a point. It looks like an active adapter so I just jumped on it. I have Prime, so I guess I'll try again with this one. Thanks!
I already tried hdmi to hdmi and it didn't give me the option so im guessing its not 3.1 or above.
Would something like this be best?
https://www.amazon.com/Cable-Matters-DisplayPort-Adapter-Resolution/dp/B00JQORLCG/ref=sr_1_10?keywords=display+por+usb+converter&qid=1566421962&s=gateway&sr=8-10
> The HDMI spec's only single mention of DVI is a way to tell them apart when the same cable/connector is being employed, and only the DVI protocol has 1440p because you can have any random resolution.
The HDMI spec outlines the required interoperability with DVI, which means it's still part of the HDMI spec. There are a couple of sections on this.
> Finding plenty of examples of going from DisplayPort to DVI/HDMI-connector isn't relevant, the tech isn't bi-directional in this scenario.
They are examples of adaptor manufacturers supporting the particular resolution in DVI, illustrating that it's seen as commonplace enough to implement.
As I mentioned, in general I'm mainly talking about your initial statement about HDMI which I think is still misleading even if you include the word 'spec'.
As far as adaptors are concerned, I'm not arguing that it's likely a supporting adaptor will be released - it probably depends on demand. I can find examples of active adaptors supporting 1440p at 60Hz for example, it's perhaps just a bit more expensive+difficult to implement higher refresh rates.
> There might be some larger equipment somewhere that can accept DVI-over-HDMI and output it to DisplayPort, but you wouldn't call this an "adaptor"
There are active adaptors that provide 1440p from HDMI to DisplayPort, albeit not at higher refresh rates yet that I can find as mentioned. They are called just that: active adaptors, because circuitry is required for the translation. Just like my linked WMR adaptor examples. Maybe you're thinking of only passive adaptors?
> What you're asking for is both where the source is a HDMI connector.
I'm not "asking for" anything. I do however say that an active adaptor is not particularly out of the realm of possibility.
I'm guessing that even if an active adaptor supported the required resolution & refresh rate, there'd be some kind of timing issue anyway. I honestly don't care about an adaptor for the Oculus Rift S at all, I'm just debating your referring to HDMI's support.
> Write some code that uses 2 graphics cards that receives on one and outputs on the other, though everything needs to be there that the Rift S wants.
I'm not sure what you mean here - are you talking about using two graphics cards to do the job of an active adaptor?
(Like this one? https://www.amazon.com/Cable-Matters-DisplayPort-Adapter-Resolution/dp/B00JQORLCG )
With all due respect, while you may work for a company that deals with video interface implementation, I don't think that either of us are really qualified to comment on the implementation of active adaptors.
Pretty sure HDMI to DVI will work both ways. I'm almost positive I've used them in such a way, but can't set up a test at the moment, so here's an avforums thread about it.
However, the poster is asking about HDMI to DisplayPort, which is different than DVI and is not bi-directional (another thread about it). Maybe you were saying "DVI" in place of "Displayport" by mistake?
I haven't tried this product, but this is the sort of thing you'd need:
https://www.amazon.com/Cable-Matters-DisplayPort-Adapter-Resolution/dp/B00JQORLCG
Would it work if I used a USB-C to HDMI, and then an HDMI to DisplayPort cable (https://www.amazon.com/Cable-Matters-DisplayPort-Adapter-Supporting/dp/B00JQORLCG?crid=1DLXWP1322SFN&keywords=hdmi+to+displayport+cable&qid=1537878934&sprefix=hdmi+to+di%2Caps%2C164&sr=8-9&ref=sr_1_9)? Would that work?
You need an active adapter like this https://www.amazon.com/Cable-Matters-DisplayPort-Adapter-Supporting/dp/B00JQORLCG?crid=2R0HZ4YOJILF&keywords=hdmi+to+displayport+cable&qid=1538161300&sprefix=hdmi+to&sr=8-10&ref=mp_s_a_1_10
Yeah, it should work fine. You might see some upscaling artifacts, though, as the PS4 outputs at 1080p, and not 1440p. They're usually not that bad. You will need an adapter.
EDIT:
Like one of these: https://www.amazon.com/Cable-Matters-DisplayPort-Adapter-Supporting/dp/B00JQORLCG/ref=sr_1_11_sspa?ie=UTF8&qid=1538154781&sr=8-11-spons&keywords=hdmi+to+displayport+cables&psc=1Scratch that, that one won't work. This might: https://www.cablestogo.com/product/54179/hdmi-to-displayport-adapter-converter
Not the cable. The cable is for connecting a displayport device to an HDMI display.
You might as well buy a cheap TV.
The adapters you're describing sound as if they are standard directional adapters. You need an adapter that will adapt the Switch's HDMI output to a DisplayPort signal. Basically, the adapter needs to connect to the Switch deck and then a displayport cable from the adapter to the monitor.
As an example, this should work fine: Cable Matters HDMI to DisplayPort Adapter (HDMI to DP Adapter) Supporting 4K Black https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00JQORLCG/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_FHvYBbC4XNTC9
Cable Matters HDMI to DisplayPort Adapter/HDMI to DP Adapter with 4K Video Resolution Support https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00JQORLCG/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_tHS2Cb73B7WW8
Something like this could work but might be capped at 60Hz. I wonder if the reviewer made sure he was getting 80Hz with the adapter.
https://www.amazon.com/Cable-Matters-DisplayPort-Adapter-Supporting/dp/B00JQORLCG
Maybe this one?
https://www.amazon.com/Cable-Matters-DisplayPort-Adapter-Resolution/dp/B00JQORLCG
You'd need something like this and a matching displayport to mini displayport cable to connect.
so it looks like i'll need to buy these two things:
Cable Matters Gold Plated HDMI to DisplayPort Converter in Black
https://smile.amazon.com/dp/B00JQORLCG/ref=sspa_dk_detail_1
and this one:
AmazonBasics HDMI Coupler (2 Pack), 29 x 22mm, Black
https://smile.amazon.com/AmazonBasics-HDMI-Coupler-Pack-Black/dp/B06XR8RBTQ/ref=sr_1_7
then use a basic DP cable between monitor and adapter.
and use the coupler between Chromecast and adapter.
is that right?
Yeah, there aren't a lot of HDMI to DP options out there, but there are some.
One like this. Does your computer not output displayport? Note that you won't get 144hz outputting from the HDMI on your computer.
I ended up ordering this one: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00JQORLCG/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1
​
And unfortunately it did not work. Power light was on for the adapter, but when I plugged the HDMI into my laptop it just didn't register anything. When I plug a normal HDMI display in it just switches over right away.
​
Not sure if it would work with a more expensive/powerful one. I gave up for now.
Is this one possible too? https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00K0UDJFI/
I have no personal experience with this, but:
/u/cybereality once recommended the Cable Matters Mini DisplayPort (Thunderbolt™ 2 Port Compatible) to HDMI Male to Female Adapter - 4K Resolution Ready. I see people in the answers section saying it works well.
This is the adapter I got which works pretty well. Still need to connect it to an 4k capable HDMI cable and run that to your TV but it does the trick.
I use this one. Works fine for me.

> LG 25UM55 21:9 monitor
Thanks for the in depth answer!
Unfortunately the monitor i have (http://www.lg.com/us/monitors/lg-29UM57-P-ultrawide-led-monitor) only has 2 HDMI ports so using a DisplayPort cable won't work. This adapter (http://www.amazon.com/Cable-Matters%C2%AE-DisplayPort-Thunderbolt-Compatible/dp/B00K0UDJFI/ref=cm_cd_al_qh_dp_t) claims to support 4k displays so I will find out if this works in 2 days.
The laptop itself is a 13-inch, Mid 2012. Hopefully that isn't the issue.
Actually any cable like https://www.amazon.com/Cable-Matters-DisplayPort-Thunderbolt-Compatible/dp/B00K0UDJFI/ do work since 4k@30hz (hdmi 1.4) is enough to handle the rift. I know i have no issues with my standard passive hdmi-dp adapter
If you mean you have a mini DisplayPort out on your laptop and you want to hook it up the original Rift, I've seen others suggest this adapter will work.
It is possible but rare, I have 2 rift headsets here trying them both on a Pcspecialist Defiance III with a 970M, 2 different issues in each set, old tv type interference on one (playable), image going black every 5/10 seconds on the other (unplayable) the only reason I'm testing is because the one headset (old tv interference) I first tried it with worked perfectly for about 4 hours the first time I used it but I can't replicate that again :(
For anyone reading this in future I got a "Cable Matters 4k mini displayport to HDMI adaptor" and oculus now works on my (pcspecialist Defiance III gtx 970m,

This adapter is garaunteed to work for VR headsets and your monitor. https://www.amazon.com/Cable-Matters-DisplayPort-HDMI-Adapter/dp/B00K0UDYLM
I just bought this and it works with my Rift CV1 and Acer AH101 WMR headset.
If you buy a cheaper DP to HDMI adapter, it most likely will only work for your monitor as the cheap ones can't handle the bandwidth for high resolutions at high refresh rates needed for VR.
They claim this passive adapter supports up to 4k.

edit: don't forget that the hdmi cable after the adapter must support atleast 1440p too, not the version 1 cables.
You can try and change brightness (lower it a bit) setting in video card options.
Connect HDMI cable from TV into HDMI port used by Rift then change those settings. It helped me with some problems I had with Rift.
You can also try and delete C:\Users\"User"\AppData\Locals\Oculus and do again whole setup.
There is also a method with Display Port 1.2 to hdmi 4k30hz passive adapter (it has more bandwitch to transwer image)
https://www.amazon.co.uk/Cable-Matters-DisplayPort-Adapter-Resolution-Noir-4K/dp/B00K0UDYLM/ref=sr_1_1?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1510778942&sr=1-1&keywords=Cable+Matters%C2%AE+Gold+Plated+DisplayPort+to+HDMI
Hope it helps. I did a lot of research into those problems.
Why are you using an adapter if you have a free hdmi port?
Also, why not get a male to male displayport cable and use displayport instead of hdmi if you lack hdmi?
On top of that, what adapter did you have? Why post this without posting the adapter you confirmed doesn't work?
For instance, in theory this adapter should work.
Wow, thanks so much for all your input. I really appreciate it. I wanted to have this thing set up by the weekend and decided to buy an adapter myself.
I hope it works just as well as the one you linked. I got it here: Cable Matters Gold-Plated DisplayPort to HDMI Male to Female Adapter - 4K Resolution Ready https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00K0UDYLM/ref=cm_sw_r_other_apa_XZmuxbBK3BNP5
So then just a regular adapter and not a 4k one?

Just wanted to chime in to say that I'm in the exact same situation as OP (can't pass Freesync through receiver to TV, can't pass 5.1 sound through TV to receiver).
I use the same solution as u/TheBigTimeOperator: connect to the receiver as a "second monitor" via DP-to-HDMI adapter (passive is fine for sound; I use this one), and connect directly to the TV via HDMI. The main issue is where to hide the desktop space for the "second monitor" so my mouse doesn't get lost offscreen -- I've set the resolution as small as possible and set it to the lower-left of my actual desktop. It definitely feels like a hack, but it works.

Woahhhh hope you didn't buy it yet. I just double checked your link, and it's not the same as mine. The one I bought was this. Which supports 4k, while the one you linked, the description says 1080p.
This DP-HDMI adapter is support only up to 1080p.
What you will need is a 4K adapter , something like this
https://www.amazon.co.uk/CableCreation-DisplayPort-Adapter-Support-Converter/dp/B013G4EXMM/ref=sr_1_20?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1479891333&sr=1-20&keywords=hdmi+dp+adapter

I tried with an expensive active adapter (Club 3D) and I also had problems. I think your graphics card needs DisplayPort++ and you need a 4K passive DP->HDMI adapter.
There are a lot of reports (also on the Oculus Forums) that this one should work:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00K0UDYLM/ref=od_aui_detailpages00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
I ordered it myself just yesterday but it will take up to somewhere next week to arrive.
I see !
Actually what I meant to say was I bought something similar from where I live (japan), this one
Am unsure exactly if it will work from HDMI to DP. Guess I will find out later today. Seems very difficult to find one that goes from HDMI out to DP in on amazon.jp, I have found this one
on amazon.com but it will take 2 weeks to get to me.
Yeah the repeater is so cheap it is worth it to add it just to have it. Another possible solution is this: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00K0UDYLM/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
or this:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0035B4LJM/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Because we are finding out the HDMI signal is weaker than the DVI and Display ports on a lot of graphics cards.
But like I said the repeater has made my extremely long cables work well I have consistently played for 2 hours now with no issues of any kind. Before the repeater the cable I linked to just didn't work at all... I had a black screen and my other cable I bought would work for a while then would drop the signal momentarily and come back on.
Personally I ordered all three of the options I presented and plan to test them all. Currently I am using what I presented to you first and want to use it for at least a couple days or until I have an issue if I find an issue I will move on to the next option and rinse and repeat. But as of now I am very confident the repeater is the way to go.
This is the exact cable i'm using on my EVGA GTX 970 SSC
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00K0UDYLM/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o06_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
I have 3 monitors plugged in (2 dvi, 1 hdmi) and my vive plugged in via displayport using the cable I linked. works perfectly.
Im using a display port to HDMI adapter, going to my TV. Works fine no issues at all. Passes sound and everything
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00K0UDYLM/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o05_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
The one im using
I have the same problem with my Rift. It only worked for a couple hours connected to my HDMI right after I got it. The only way I can get it to work is by using a DisplayPort to HDMI or DVI to HDMI adapter.
I see you tried a DVI to HDMI adapter already, but some of the adapters I tried didn't work so it might be worth trying a different one.. I'm currently using this adapter.
This one works if you need one: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00K0UDYLM/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
hey man my vive had problems too using the hdmi port on my 980 ti. I ended up fixing it by buying a hdmi to displayport adaptor and plugging the displayport into my graphics card instead. It may or may not help you, only $13 from amazon though.
Amazon Link
Do you know what adapter you have? I had trouble with 2 supposed 4k adapters before getting this one which has been working perfectly.
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00K0UDYLM/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1
I don't know about getting your audio from your displayport though. I'm not sure if Rift has anything to do with that. Have you tried unplugging the rift and JUST pluggin in your 4k TV through the adapter?
I thought maybe something like that might be going on. I've read the same thing, and even in laptop cases where there's some level of hardware switching going on, that kind of setup (if it works at all) will add extra latency regardless of other performance penalties.
Thankfully there's a relatively cheap and easy solution. I use this to connect to my monitor: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00K0UDYLM and leave the headset in the graphics card HDMI slot. Other brands will likely work, these are just the specific ones I use.
​
I actually couldn't find any info on if my 980 TI supported dual-mode DisplayPort, but I figured it might since it was top-of-the-line when I bought it, so I just bought a passive adapter and tried it, and it worked. Since it can be hard to search for them, here's the passive adapter I'm using.
DVI-D is digital only and will not work with a DVI to VGA converter. VGA is analog and the DVI-I puts out both digital and an extra analog output, which the DVI-VGA converter can use. Most of your common DVI-VGA converters will not work with the DVI-D port.
What you need is an "active" DVI-VGA converter. It doesn't just connect pins, it actually contains an active digital to analog converter circuit. I've never had one of them, so hopefully I'm not missing something important. Here is a random one on Amazon for reference.
Side note: Dual versus Duel
Ye right, that's so NOT going to work.
What non-reference RX480 has is DVI-D. This thing outputs ONLY digital signal. If it was DVI-I then sure, you can use $3 adapter and it would work but with DVI-D it gets trickier.
You would need this.
Your graphics card should support 2 HDMI and a DVI input. Ditch the USB, and get a VGA to DVI or VGA to HDMI.
https://www.amazon.com/gofanco-Pro-DVI-D-Active-Converter/dp/B00RWFT8NG
but why ?
What's the point, why would you want lower resolution and lower refresh rates? being a hipster?
How old is this "retro monitor", is it a full on 90's era CRT or older, as it does matter. If it's not ancient pre broadband internet era monitor just get yourself a DVI-DL to vga adapter similar to this if you are committed to this.
Yep, either a DVI-D to VGA or Displayport 1.2 to VGA converter will work.
The DVI-D output from the card is a digital signal. The VGA input on the monitor needs an analog signal. It looks like your adapter is just allowing the cables to connect to eachother. It is not changing the signal at all. You need a DVI-D to VGA adapter/converter that specifically converts the digital signal from the DVI-D/GPU into an analog signal. This will most likely require additional power to perform the change in signal. An example can be found here:
https://www.amazon.com/gofanco-Pro-DVI-D-Active-Converter/dp/B00RWFT8NG
With how cheap monitors are I would suggest just getting another monitor that supports digital signals.
It feels wrong to use analong connections on such a beautiful monitor.
So, DVI-D Dual requires a powered converter. I actually use this converter and have had no issues. Make sure its the right type of DVI, better to double check than return, and it should work for ya.
There are DVI-D to VGA active converters like https://www.amazon.com/gofanco-Pro-DVI-D-Active-Converter/dp/B00RWFT8NG
Yet buying a DVI or DP cable would be cheaper.
I personally don't think it would be a good thing to use two different graphic cards, consider one of them is just for your other monitor.
What I say you should do, and it's what im currently doing, is, to connect your main monitor (Acer), AND the 4:3 one to your GTX 970 card, it should have 2 DVI-D and 1 HDMI and 1 Display port input at the back. Get a VGA <-> DVI-D adapter, which is pretty cheap. This one for example Link. Or you could just go to a general electronics shop and get one for like 5$.
that's your problem, you cannot convert DVI-D to VGA with a simple "adapter" like that. You got ripped off, that "adapter" is nothing more than 2 connectors with plastic around them, there is no connection between the two sides of the "adapter"
there are active adapters that will convert DVI-D to VGA, such as this
For anyone who comes along in the future with the same problem: I fixed mine by switching to a different adapter. I was using this active adapter before. Switching to the passive version of this adapter seems to have fixed whatever issue MacOS was having with transmitting the signal through the adapter. I don't know if the active adapter I got was faulty, and if replacing it with another of the same would also have fixed the issue. Either way it works as expected now so I'm happy!
You'll want Thunderbolt 2/DisplayPort 1.2 to HDMI 2.0. Something like this looks like it should do the job.
From what I've been reading, you need an active adapter to connect with the dock. Have you guys tried that?
Can you just use the mini DisplayPort on the back with one of these adapters?
Not every adapter works.

I have this one and it works for Vive and Rift

Oh interesting, thanks for the info! Assume the one below would work?
https://www.amazon.co.uk/Plugable-DisplayPort-Supports-displays-3840x2160/dp/B00S0BWR2K
Well, a little late to the discussion. Just want to point out that I have had good luck with the Plugable adapter for 4k 60hz HDMI 2.0 output to a 4k TV if somebody needs that functionality. There aren't too many options for this capability.....
https://www.amazon.com/Plugable-DisplayPort-Supports-displays-3840x2160/dp/B00S0BWR2K/
sadly the monitor doesn't have display port, I was thinking thunderbolt to display port then display port to HDMI female but I have no idea if it would work... its relatively inexpensive on amazon , Do you think this would work?
EDIT: Or how about this? https://www.amazon.com/Plugable-DisplayPort-Supports-displays-3840x2160/dp/B00S0BWR2K?th=1
I got one of the recommended ones from amazon. The plugable 4K 60hz mini dp to hdmi adapter. It was pretty cheap.
Edit: this one
Hmmmm in that case I'd try a miniDP to HDMI 2.0a adapter? I believe they have to be an Active adapter for this like this one here!
I use this one on my dock Plugable Active Mini DisplayPort to HDMI Adapter (Supports displays up to 4k / UHD / 3840x2160@30Hz) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00S0BWR2K/ref=cm_sw_r_other_awd_HuWGwb1MTAD5F

I have had to restart my machine with the multi adapter but the first one really hasn't given me any problems.
I couldn't find the settings for refresh rate(on the TV) but I do have a 4K TV along with the AVR. Is there a recommended adapter/brand?
edit: clarity
dbl edit: Looks like this should do the trick?
When you say you bought an adapter do you mean an HDMI to Display Port adapter?
It has to be an active adapter. This is the one I purchased and it works flawlessly.
Plugable Active Mini DisplayPort to HDMI 2.0 Adapter (Supports displays up to 4k / UHD / 3840x2160@60Hz) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00S0BWR2K/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_kOVPCbAFZS6YK
I used this one with SP3 dock (the vertical one) with this minidp->hdmi adaptor: https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B00S0BWR2K/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o04_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
You might want to try an adapter that does displayport to HDMI 2.0. I have a GTX 1070 and have issues with HDMI 2.0 4k 60hz. If I use the adapter from Displayport ti HDMI2.0 to the TV, it works fine.
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00S0C7QO8/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o08_s00?ie=UTF8&amp;psc=1
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00S0BWR2K/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o08_s00?ie=UTF8&amp;psc=1
I've bought both and tested with a Dell laptop with mini displayport out and it worked with 4k @ 60hz. I tested the full displayport adapter with a GTX 1080 with Win10 and GTX 1070 with OSX Sierra. Both work with 4K @60hz.
There is another brand as well at amazon, I would steer clear from it, it nearly burned out one of my video cards when I used it and burned out my HDMI cable and the adapter.
Here's a capable adapter (I'm using the full-size Displayport version of this adapter for 4K@60Hz@4:4:4 chroma):
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00S0BWR2K/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&amp;th=1
It needs to be paired with an HDMI cable though (which you can get for $6).
Edit: Contact the manufacturer regarding 2560x1080 @ 75Hz
Awesome, that is what I will have to do. I am going to try this adapter, it looks like the ticket. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00S0BWR2K/
Yep! I used to have an AMD video card that required an active mini-DP adapter. I figure my screens weren't working because they were passive, so I tried this Plugable Active adapter. It received picture, but there was a funky flashing/choppy looking bit at the top of the screen. I will have to take a picture of it. Aside from the choppy bit, it worked fine, if I remember correctly.
What other mini-displayport to DP or HDMI (must be 4K compatible) are out there? I am pretty sure the HDMI cable I was using was 1.4 compliant.
Good question, I'll have to check the model number when I am back home. I am considering ordering:
https://amzn.com/B00S0BWR2K
download steam. download their SteamVR assessment tool maybe it's called VR readiness tool, I forget. post up your score. My laptop which does quite well- has a GTX 1060 maxQ, scores 6.4 or 6.6, if memory serves. Then go online and compare your score to other people and see their description of how well it performs.
as for a DP to HDMI adapter, the one microsoft recommends is this one: https://www.amazon.com/Plugable-DisplayPort-Supports-displays-3840x2160/dp/B00S0C7QO8
It is by Plugable, and I've never had trouble with any of their stuff, though I've only owned a few pieces. For $20, it may be worthwhile to just check it out.
Why don't you just run 2 outputs from your PC?
Run your GPU's HDMI port into your Pioneer, and in Kodi/DSPlayer set that HDMI device as the selected audio device and enable your DD/DTS pass-through , etc.
Then if you don't have a second HDMI port, get a DP to HDMI adapter and run that to your TV.
I've run my system like this before and it works perfectly fine.
Here is a basic Active DP to HDMI adapter that should have no problem with full 18Gbit HDMI 2.0, or at least has no problems with it for me.
https://www.amazon.com/Plugable-DisplayPort-Supports-displays-3840x2160/dp/B00S0C7QO8
This should work.
https://www.amazon.com/Plugable-DisplayPort-Supports-displays-3840x2160/dp/B00S0C7QO8/
I have this one, works well - https://www.amazon.com/Plugable-DisplayPort-Supports-displays-3840x2160/dp/B00S0C7QO8/ref=sr_1_1_sspa?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1511999502&amp;sr=8-1-spons&amp;keywords=displayport+to+hdmi+plugable&amp;psc=1
This is the adapter, it states:
>Supports resolutions up to 3840x2160 (4K) Ultra-HD @ 60Hz, 1080P@120Hz
Also reviews in the product says people got it to work 4k@60
https://www.amazon.com/Plugable-DisplayPort-Supports-displays-3840x2160/dp/B00S0C7QO8/ref=sr_1_1_sspa?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1511834789&amp;sr=8-1-spons&amp;keywords=plugable+displayport+to+hdmi&amp;psc=1
I just tried the VR headset > DP adapter and lo and behold it worked. I've only tried 1 little game so far but that worked as well as before. The reason I didn't think it would work is because my headset outputs at 2880x1440 apparently at 90hz(I wouldn't know how to check besides what the specs say) which is nearly same bandwidth as 4k@60. So I'm still curious as to why PC DP>Adapter>4K TV doesn't work, but I'm glad to have a workaround. I think it should be okay to have the TV in the HDMI port on my gpu, when I get another monitor down the road(will be a strange setup) that will have DP input so that should work seamlessly.
The only thing I still have a problem with is my computer says its in multi-display mode even with the VR unplugged and the only monitor plugged in is the TV. Device Manager says there is a Generic Non-PnP Monitor on the integrated GPU and a Generic PnP Monitor on my gtx 1060. Any idea why this could be?
Thank you so much
Plugable Active DisplayPort to HDMI Adapter (Supports displays up to 4K / UHD / 3840x2160@30Hz) https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00S0C7QO8/ref=cm_sw_r_other_apa_KiopxbC66XZ5H
So this would be what im looking for? I've never even heard of Displayport before today so sorry if this is obvious, haha
I may be misunderstanding, but I had an issue once with using a display port output with an HDMI monitor. When I used a straight DP to HDMI cable, it wouldn't work. BUT then, I found out that I needed an "active" DP to HDMI cable/adapter. The adapter cost me about $20.
Active Display Port to HDMI adapter
If you really did get cheated, don't just take the loss. eBay has an interest in keeping up their reputation as being generally safe for buyers.
https://www.amazon.com/Plugable-DisplayPort-Supports-displays-3840x2160/dp/B00S0C7QO8 Here, this wouldn't work at the 144hz experimental mode, but if you could turn down the resolution to 1080p you could do it at 120hz standard. Would this work
Okay so it does look like active adapters are advertising 4K 60Hz support so this might work
https://www.amazon.com/Plugable-DisplayPort-Supports-displays-3840x2160/dp/B00S0C7QO8
I just started having this problem after adding a display port to dvi adapter. It is not clear yet if the adapter is to blame or I’m just noticing it now that the headset is plugged in full time.
display to dvi adapter
Your best bet is a somewhat not outdated to hell video card that properly supports hdmi 2.0 .
Also 1920x1200 is a 16:10 ratio NOT 16:9 , your tv is best with a 16:9 ratio
with your current card the best you could output to that tv and it look correct would be 2560x1440 (1440p) 16:9 ratio
you could do this with an ACTIVE DVI > hdmi adapter that supports full updated hdmi spec , You would then use the DVI ports on your video card (as thats the ports that support the resolution you would need )
https://www.amazon.com/Plugable-DisplayPort-Supports-displays-3840x2160/dp/B00S0C7QO8/ref=sr_1_1?s=electronics&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1495939443&amp;sr=1-1&amp;keywords=dvi+to+hdmi+active
That being said , just buy a new video card. Don't try to hack a old card to get it to work with a modern TV with HDMI . just buy a new card , it doesn't have to be to fancy , almost anything around 60 / 100 bucks would be way better then what you have . grab a used one on craigslist or something , then you can just use HDMI directly .
Good luck man !
I think this might be the way to go for the laptop / monitor.
https://www.amazon.com/Plugable-DisplayPort-Supports-displays-3840x2160/dp/B00S0C7QO8/ref=sr_1_3?s=electronics&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1494948300&amp;sr=1-3&amp;keywords=dvi+to+hdmi+2.0
Honestly thinking of just dumping the gaming rig and using the laptop only. Its got an i7 and can do eGPU. ThinkPads are pretty cool. Thats another project though. I might try this DP to HDMI I liked for this project.
You need an active displayport adapter for it to work at 90HZ. The Pluggable adapter is the one Microsoft even recommends and can be found for under $19USD/$26CAD on Amazon.
https://www.amazon.com/Plugable-DisplayPort-Supports-displays-3840x2160/dp/B00S0C7QO8?th=1&amp;psc=1
Depends on what resolution you're running and what version the adapter is, but I guess you're not trying to run 4k @100hz with a 1070 anyway so you'll probably be good. Your TV won't have display port features if it doesn't have display port.
This is probably what you're looking for
Yes. But there are much cheaper ones available.

This one: Plugable Active DisplayPort to HDMI 2.0 Adapter (Supports displays up to 4K / UHD / 3840x2160@60Hz) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00S0C7QO8/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_A6SuzbDP7NTBB
Works perfect for me. Game 4K60 all day (well, for the few titles that'll allow me to push it that high 😁)
You'll need an active DisplayPort 1.2 to HDMI 2.0 adapter. I used the Plugable adapter between my 290x and original Odyssey just because it was the one recommended on the windows support page. It worked well.
I had a Club3D adapter that I used to connect to my tv which didn't work with the Odyssey. It had a strange sizing issue between the HDMI port on the adapter and the Odyssey. I simply couldn't plug them into each other, though other HDMI cables and ports worked with each.
USB C to displayport and then displayport active adapter to HDMI 2.0 should do the trick.
According to the specs on this page:
https://www.lenovo.com/us/en/laptops/thinkpad/thinkpad-e-series/ThinkPad-E580/p/22TP2TEE580
You do have DisplayPort over the USB C port.
EDIT:
If you're curious, these are the Adapters I have:

I had to buy an Active displayport adapter to make it work with my TV, I have the Asus 280x directCU II TOP
You need an active DisplayPort to HDMI adapter that explicitly supports 4K and HDMI 2.0. Club3D makes one and so does Plugable.
That DP to HDMI adapter seems suspect. Seems like 29um58 doesn't have DP input, so your best bet is probably to look around for a better adapter/cable. The older ones mostly do only up to 1200p, you need a newer one like this.

This one works fine for me
something like this - https://www.amazon.com/Plugable-DisplayPort-Supports-displays-3840x2160/dp/B00S0C7QO8/
4k is a gray area for hdmi. Since ultimately you're limited to the data rate of HDMI that's where your issue lies. It looks like you'd need an active adapter for this to work. Something like this:
https://www.amazon.com/Plugable-DisplayPort-Supports-displays-3840x2160/dp/B00S0C7QO8
You don't mention what you're using to convert from displayport to HDMI though.
wow i missed that yes your right that monitor only does higher than 60hz via dvi or displayport. his solution would be to get and active display port to hdmi adapter which would solve that.

Same issues here. Initially I hooked up my 4k TV to the HDMI 2.0 port, and the Oculus Rift used a DP-HDMI converter. But in some games (mostly Robo Recall), I had a problem where the Rift display would begin flashing black after a minute or so in-game. Eventually I decided to troubleshoot it, and removed cable extenders / adapters / etc until I found the problem. My conclusion was for me, Robo Recall worked fine with the Rift plugged in over HDMI, but not with the DP-HDMI adapter.
There are decent DP-HDMI adapters now that support 4k/60Hz. I bought this one recently and it's working fine:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00S0C7QO8/
So I use that to connect my TV.
Yea, I'm sure the DP to HDMI adapter is Active. Here's the exact one I bought and tried using:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00S0C7QO8/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&amp;psc=1
Damn, so using the DVI-I (using a DVI-I to DVI-D connector) isn't even an option for my 4th spot on the GTX 970 anyways? I hadn't updated my drivers in a while, which I did last night... still not working. Ahhhhh
Buy yourself a DisplayPort to HDMI 2.0 adapter
I have that one, but there are lots available.
> https://www.accellcables.com/products/displayport-1-2-to-hdmi-2-0-adapter
I think I must have the older version of that monitor and you the newest one because on Samsung's website it says *Supports HDMI 1.4 (3840 x 2160, 30 Hz) and Display Port 1.2 (3840 x 2160, 60 Hz)
Also I just picked up a similar adapter ( https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00S0C7QO8/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&amp;psc=1 ) and it gets no signal. I think for those adapters to work the console has to have a display port output and only works one way not both, which makes 0 sense to me =(
My DVI slot is already taken by my second screen x)
I found this adapter : https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00S0C7QO8/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&amp;psc=1

Nope, this motherboard supports integrated graphics :)
This is the kind of adaptor you will need for the one port so you can use both monitors, unless your monitors have a Display Port input.
I use this one, probably the same circuitry, $1 cheaper. Not that much of a difference ;)
https://www.amazon.ca/Rankie%C2%AE-Plated-DisplayPort-Adapter-Female/dp/B010SDZZ80/ref=sr_1_25?s=electronics&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1462418369&amp;sr=1-25-spons&amp;keywords=DP1.2+DisplayPort+to+HDMI&amp;psc=1
Possibly. I'm using this adapter without issue.
Come to think of it, the Optiplex 960 has an integrated DisplayPort on the back. Although I'm not sure if that particular version of the port supports HDMI audio (it's not labeled as D++, so my assumption is "probably not"), you can get HDMI video out of it just by buying a cheap passive cable converter.
One of these (Brand is not too important, this is just one of the cheaper ones that came up in a quick search): https://www.amazon.com/Rankie®-Plated-DisplayPort-Adapter-Converter/dp/B010SDZZ80/
If you've got a discrete card in the machine the integrated is probably auto-disabled, so you'd need to turn it on (generally something like "Intel multi-screen" or whatever) in the BIOS. Both discrete and integrated GPUs can work together to give you desktop room in this case.
Passive Displayport to HDMI adapter costs 9$ at amazon or ebay, I'm using two myself, even my 2012 Thinkpad t420 has no problem with a passive adapter.

Maybe you can get HDMI to DP adaptor instead?
im trying to run a 3 monitor setup but i am confused as to how to proceed, 2 will be used as dual and 1 will be mirroed (tv for movies and etc)
the plugs i have to work with are hdmi,display port and vgi.
For some reason my other hdmi plug and vga,vgi dont seem to connect so im thinking that the lower 3 i listed is the only combination that i can get this too work (sorry if confusing but i tried everything and at my wits end trying to get it to work)
monitor 1 (hp 22er) Monitor 2 (acer x223w) (monitor 3 that will mirror monitor 1 Vizio sv470m)
graphics card geforce gtx 750 ti
if it help my setup with 2 monitors (they just mirrowed each other ) was hdmi (to my vizio and vgi cable acer to pc)
this is what i found that could work but im unsure if i got the right male to female thing. for display port at the back of my pc to connect it to a hdmi cable from my tv

In fact, these support 4k and are cheaper than the others I linked. These work well in my experience also. I'd go for these instead.
No, they have DisplayPort. I've used one of these adapters with them and they work fine.

This is the one I use. I don’t think that having an active adapter matters, but I’ve read some testimonies towards active when using extension cables. I haven’t had any luck with extension cables though so I just run the headset straight into this adapter.

Using a DP to HDMI adapter Thats one for $7 on amazon.
The Vive keeps an HDMI port of course, as using the adapter will only cause issues eventually.
You could also use the integrated graphics port of your mother board if you have one... you might have to re-enable it on Bios because most autodisables it when it detects a gpu.

This one
Hey, thanks for the reply. These are the adapters:
https://www.amazon.de/gp/product/B010SDZZ80/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&amp;psc=1
This one.
I was thinking more like this http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/d/B010SDZZ80/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?qid=1458172396&amp;sr=8-1&amp;pi=SY200_QL40&amp;keywords=hdmi+to+displayport+adapter&amp;dpPl=1&amp;dpID=41uzDtqfZXL&amp;ref=plSrch
Nothing special. But yes, one in each slot. You should have quite a few slots.
First off, you are awesome and helped solved my final issue. Second off, both of the HDMI extensions I linked worked after this display port to HDMI adapter. For my setup I have 3 display ports, 1 HDMI, and 1 DVI on my graphics card. I have a 3 monitor setup that uses 3 of the ports and was looking for an HDMI switch to go from my room setup to the living room, but after seeing that this adapter worked, I'm just ordering a DVI to HDMI for my third monitor. Basically me testing the adapter helped solve my issue and I really appreciate you asking :)
Any updates ? Have a similar setup. Currently running on iGFX at 1080p but want to get 4k 60hz over HDMI 2.0 using a gtx 960 or 970. Using a 4K TV as a display and no dp available. If a software fix isn't available, have you tried using a dp 1.2 to hdmi 2.0 adapter like this one? https://www.amazon.com/Club3D-Displayport-1-2-HDMI-CAC-1070/dp/B017BQ8I54
edit: just finished reading the thread. Sounds like this has been suggested. Did you try it? /u/redpsychedelic
Alright so, here's the deal for you and posterity. Got the adapter. Perfect 4k@60Hz (had to enable UHD mode on TV obviously) on macOS 10.12.2 (16C68), web drivers 367.15.10.25f02 on the GTX 970.
So we're clear, I'm using Club3D Displayport 1.2 to HDMI 2.0 UHD (CAC-1070) [https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B017BQ8I54/] with KabelDirekt High Speed HDMI Cable with ARC Ethernet (6 ft) [https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00DI8A1NW]
On winblows, it still works perfectly 4k@60hz like before (aka when I wasn't using the adapter). I just had a long gaming session @ 4k60fps no sweat.
Audio on macOS also works fine with injected Toleda's audio DSDT (didn't change anything, it's the same I installed when I was running via HDMI out, hopefully via DP I don't get random sound cracking or complete muffling as experienced via HDMI).
You could just get a h170 motherboard coupled with [this] (https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B017BQ8I54/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_pG2FybGX0Z5QT)
The 170 chipsets work with Kaby, just need a bios update.
I know club3d is one of the few folks who’ve made a dp1.2 to hdmi2.0a.
Here’s a link. https://www.amazon.com/Club3D-Displayport-1-2-HDMI-CAC-1070/dp/B017BQ8I54
This adapter has a male dp and female hdmi, so you’d still need an hdmi cable in between.
Unfortunately I don’t think any has made a 2.0b adapter yet.
EDIT - looks like these cables are unidirectional. So not useful in your case. :(
$30 DP 1.2 to HDMI 2.0 adapter that actually works: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B017BQ8I54
The issues I've run into in the past were related to monitors not handling the DisplayPort protocol properly (BenQ XL2720Z, XL2730Z firmware bugs) causing black screens, etc. With these Dell S2716DG monitors using DisplayPort, everything works amazingly and responds super quickly. I've been able to pull off at least four concurrent displays, one being the Vizio TV on DVI-I to HDMI, with every GPU I've tried it with (GTX 980 and TITAN X).
With the HP 27xw, you'll have to rely on DisplayPort to HDMI adapters since no DP input. I'm not sure how well passive DP to HDMI adapters will work on the GTX 1070 (whether it will work with 2+ passive adapters or not). They should work fine for 1080p60, but I haven't been able to test such a setup. Active adapters have the potential to increase latency, and may fail due to the nature of being active. However, they can properly convert DP to HDMI, resolving issues that may arise with (multiple) passive adapters.

Active DP to HDMI 2.0 adapter (supports UHD@60Hz)
Edit: The GTX 1070 should be more than capable of handling a four display setup, seeing how it surpasses the GTX TITAN X in benchmarks.
>My main card is a 1080 Ti, could I use the DVI from that card plus the 3rd displayport?
That gives you an even better option, use the hdmi 2.0B ports, each is capable of HDR 4k output, look for an adapter for them, eg, something like this.
HDMI 2.0 supports 4k @ 60Hz 4:4:4 chroma. HDMI 1.4a (which is what most HDMI ports act like in macOS) supports 4k @ 30Hz 4:4:4 chroma. /u/cman8tor likely needs an active DP -> HDMI adapter (like the Club3D CAC-1070 mentioned by /u/z0rian). Although - some reports of it working via HDMI 2.0b have been noted - however, they seem rather unexplained/unpredictable.
Also worth noting that the Pixel Clock Patch (maintained by Floris497) - which lifted that "see everything as HDMI 1.4a" behavior - hasn't been super reliable since Sierra.

Hopefully that helps!

That's a good point, and [THIS] (https://smile.amazon.com/Club3D-Displayport-1-2-HDMI-CAC-1070/dp/B017BQ8I54?sa-no-redirect=1) would be the only adapter to do so that I would recommend.
I did on an Asus ROG G751JY Laptop. Has a GeForce 980m. Did the same thing you did and was able to get it to work with the short cable. Long cable through the link box didn't work at all. Just the long cable direct to the computer would work for about 20 seconds with lots of red scan lines and then it would shut off.
I believe it was probably something power related and that the HDMI port wasn't pushing enough volts over distance. I was able to get it to work using this adapter: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0194F1MPI/ and heres the full sized DisplayPort from the same company: https://www.amazon.com/Club3D-Displayport-1-2-HDMI-CAC-1070/dp/B017BQ8I54/
Not sure if this is what you wanted, but this adapter is the only one on the market so far that does 4K at 60hz.

Every active adapter will introduce a little input lag, but not enough to be noticeable in my experience. Ultra wide should work, but worse case you can plug the monitor into your hdmi port and use the adapter and plug that into your tv.
https://www.amazon.com/Club3D-Displayport-1-2-HDMI-CAC-1070/dp/B017BQ8I54
the solution is displayport,Mobo in build above has it.
If your TV does not have a displayport you can use an active dp to hdmi 2.0a adapter like this one https://www.amazon.com/DisplayPort-HDMI-2-0a-Active-Adapter/dp/B01B6ZOMIS or this one https://www.amazon.com/Club3D-Displayport-1-2-HDMI-CAC-1070/dp/B017BQ8I54/ref=pd_sim_147_1?ie=UTF8&amp;pd_rd_i=B017BQ8I54&amp;pd_rd_r=SZSDX49Q4SBKBF0QJYZ5&amp;pd_rd_w=uMnWY&amp;pd_rd_wg=9rDBd&amp;psc=1&amp;refRID=SZSDX49Q4SBKBF0QJYZ5 and then an hdmi 2.0 cable
Right, sorry hdmi 2.0... how about an adapter like this. Will that work?
What CPU? Most of Intel's iGPUs are limited to 4k @ 30Hz over HDMI (lame, I know). You'll more than likely have to get a display port -> HDMI adapter. Make sure it's one that supports 4k @ 60Hz; there's only a couple out there right now.
Here's a Display Port -> HDMI adapter on Amazon that has decent reviews and supports 4k @ 60Hz
:EDIT: Example: I7-7700T only supports 4k @ 60Hz over Display Port; it's limited to 24Hz through HDMI

New update been testing out for a while with new drivers plus the club 3d adapter, my TV will still randomly drop signal for a second every once in a blue moon but it doesn't hard drop like before where it would rearrange the desktop as if a new device was plugged in. Figured I'd should let people know in case they go looking for answers.
--------------------------------------------------
So I finally bit the bullet and picked up one of these Club 3D DisplayPort to HDMI 2.0 adapters
DP TO HDMI CLUB 3D Amazon
because my 4k TV flickering was driving me insane. Been testing for about a day on 1.7.6.2 and a few hours on 1.7.7.1 versions and so far no flickering or disconnects. Things to note is my display looks a touch darker on its natural settings, it's running at 60HZ vs 59HZ naturally so on first boot that's what I got thankfully. No more tooling around trying to force 60HZ to match my other 2 monitors.
Other thing to note, it comes up as RGB 4:4:4 in Radeon Additional settings now, it used to come up as 4:2:2, I've done quick tests and it looks to actually show 4:4:4 Chroma.
From my understanding it has to do with how the display talks to the GPU, either HDCP disconnects for some random reason which is one of the reasons I think the adapter works.
OR
It's an EDID thing, where the monitor is saying one thing and the Windows/GPU is saying another. Apparently something like this also works.
EDID Override adapter (HAVEN'T TESTED THIS MYSELF) Video trying to prove their theory
Honestly would have loved to just had an update that fixed this but it got to the point where I just said I'm done with it, going to fix it myself. HDMI on any version of Windows has always been pretty broken. Scaling is always off, refresh rate is random, chroma subsampling is always off so the picture looks just janky. Might as well use DisplayPort instead.
Curious to see if anyone has experienced the issue with DP or is it just HDMI, or has anyone seen any issues after using an adapter between display and GPU?
Cheers guys.
Edit should have mentioned I'm using an RX 480

Here is a DP 1.2 -> HDMI 2.0 for $30
If you buy a HDMI 2.0 adapter it might work, https://www.amazon.com/Club3D-Displayport-1-2-HDMI-CAC-1070/dp/B017BQ8I54
(dont quote me on this tho)
If your Radeon card has a displayport port you could try one of these https://www.amazon.com/Club3D-Displayport-1-2-HDMI-CAC-1070/dp/B017BQ8I54
If your TV has a displayport (or some variation of it, like a mini displayport) i'd just get a cable for that. Despite the name it should carry audio
Well, Evga made 6 models of RTX 2070 and some look exactly the same, besides of different ports.
You could go with HDMI 2.0 to Displayport adapter, if your monitor gives you a HDMI 2.0 signal: https://www.amazon.com/Club3D-Displayport-1-2-HDMI-CAC-1070/dp/B017BQ8I54
Keep in mind that you can now convert DisplayPort 1.2 to HDMI2.0 (4K@60Hz) with a relatively cheap adapter.
So you really only need a MB that has DP on it (they are all 1.2 or better).
https://www.amazon.com/Club3D-Displayport-1-2-HDMI-CAC-1070/dp/B017BQ8I54 could try something like this
You'll need an HDMI 2.0 output or a displayport output with an hdmi2.0 adapter, like the Club3D one.
Other than that, no, should be perfect for that
this adapter would allow you to run full DP capability through to hdmi 2.0 (most adapters would limit you) but you are still limited by DP 1.1. I think that you need DP 1.2 to run 4k@60 and DP 1.1 maxes out at 4k@30.
Sorry. I think you are limited either way.
You want a DP-\>HDMI adapter that supports 4k@60hz. That's what I'm using on my Odyssey.
This is the one I use: https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B017BQ8I54
Microsoft lists one on their troubleshooting web page -
I think the brand name is Pluggable.Club3d and Cable Matters.Here is the page link: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/mixed-reality/enthusiast-guide/recommended-adapters-for-windows-mixed-reality-capable-pcs
OK, The cable I linked is DP1.2a. I have a 1.2a DisplayPort on my video card which runs a 2,560x1,440 monitor at 144Hz. It's a 21.6Gbps port that will run a 3,840x2,160 monitor at atleast 24Hz.
This says that DisplayPort 1.2 should be able to provide a 3,840x2,160 signal at 60Hz.
You might invest in the second cable instead of the first since I don't know if there are physical changes in HDMI 2.0 cable spec.
Is this what you're looking for, because if not I don't think what you want exists
Does your monitor support full 4K 60hz 4:4:4? If yes, does your EVGA sport a mini DP or DP port? At least 1.2?
For my previous laptop, I had to use a 1.2 display port to HDMI 2.0 active dongle.
I recommend this Club3D one, as it has worked for me for both 4k 60hz RGB full and YCbCr444.
https://www.amazon.com/Club3D-Displayport-1-2-HDMI-CAC-1070/dp/B017BQ8I54/ref=sr_1_fkmr0_1?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1501608906&amp;sr=8-1-fkmr0&amp;keywords=club3d+displayport+1.2+to+hdmi+2.0+uhd+%28cac-1170%29
according to google that GPU has a displayport port so if you can spend 30$ you dont need a new graphics card
Google took me here: https://www.amazon.com/Club3D-Displayport-1-2-HDMI-CAC-1070/dp/B017BQ8I54Edit: Nevermind, someone noted it's not bi-directional so it only takes DP output and converts to HDMI input. I'll take another look.
I have yet to run into a TV that has problems. We have 4K TVs in every office and conference room at work, probably 25 different models from Sony, Sharp, Vizio, and Insignia. For laptops that have a HDMI 2.0 port, people plug in with that. For those that don’t, they use a DP to HDMI adapter from Club3D or the computers we put in the conference rooms (which use the same adapter).
This is the adapter we use: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B017BQ8I54/
You need Active adapter.
https://www.amazon.com/Club3D-Displayport-1-2-HDMI-CAC-1070/dp/B017BQ8I54
Edit: My mistake, right now there are no HDMI 2.0 to Display Port adapters available for sale.
Expect HDMI 1.4 to DP adapter by the end of the year from Club3D.
I could use this work around too. I'll let you know if I find anything.

Or this would be even better because an adapter could cause lag.

Have one on my 260x in my HTPC, works great.
Try this:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B017BQ8I54/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&amp;psc=1
It will convert any hdmi 1.2 port to a 2.0 port allowing for native 4k resolution at 60fps.
I use for my own setup.
For the record; I think I may have found a workaround.

I am a sucker for screen real estate and have been using a 40" 4k TV (Samsung UN40KU6300) mostly for programming work for about three years now. -- I love it, but there are some trade-offs to consider:
A 40" 4k TV has about 110ppi, about the same as a 20" HD (1920x1080) monitor. I would probably not go any bigger than 40" (or maybe 43") and I would not use any non-4k TVs. -- Look at this page if you want to play around with various display sizes and see the corresponding PPI.
Your TV will not have a Display Port, but only HDMI. You want HDMI 2.0 for 4k @ 60Hz and chroma 4:4:4 subsampling. I think nowadays most graphics cards have a HDMI 2.0 capable HDMI port. In the past I have used this Display Port 1.2 to HDMI 2.0 adapter with success. Also most TVs will only have one HDMI port that is capable of handling 4k @ 60Hz with chroma 4:4:4 subsampling. (Read your TV's manual). This might be an issue for you if you want to hook up multiple computers to the same display.
In general, I would recommend checking out this article on rtings.com, rating TVs for monitor usage.
<tl;dr>
A 40" 4k TV will give you about the same PPI as a 20" HD monitor, so no issues there. Make sure you are fine with HDMI 2.0 instead of Display Port inputs and use a TV that is capable of chroma 4:4:4 subsampling, particularly when editing text.
However, there are certain trade-offs you have to be aware of when using a TV as a monitor. It works well for things like programming or text editing, but not so much in cases where color accuracy across the screen is required. Also in the days of 38" ultra wide monitors a 40" TV as monitor does not sound that crazy anymore.

> KU6290
You should be fine. The KU6290 is identical to the KU6300 except for a smart remote. It can perform 4K @ 60hz @ 4:4:4 chroma. 30ms isn't horrible, especially for non-twitch stuff, so long as you set it up properly. Out of the box, it probably defaults to 100ms input lag because of all the other post-input settings.
Check out this review:
http://www.rtings.com/tv/reviews/samsung/ku6300
Most specifically, the "Inputs" section, and the guides to get the most out of your TV in the "Input Lag" and "Supported Resolutions" subsections.
Most importantly though: To get the 4K@60Hz@4:4:4, check if you have HDMI 2.0 on your video card. If so, just connect an HDMI 2.0 cord from Card to "HDMI 1" input slot. If you lack HDMI 2.0, see if you have DisplayPort 1.2 (more likely).
Then you can get this adapter or similar:
amazon(DOT)com/Club3D-Displayport-1-2-HDMI-CAC-1070/dp/B017BQ8I54
(no referral links :\ , though I may be mistaking what a referral link is. I'm just assuming its any clickable URL that makes you jump to a page to buy stuff.)
...and connect your displayport to "HDMI 1". Can't use the on-TV speakers that way though.
Thanks. So will this one work?
Do you recommend anything? Is that the price point I am looking at? $50?

Hi there again (4 months later),
The problem was not the usb type-c neither GNU/Linux. The problem was the Dell DA200 adapter, so after researching I found a lad who bought a cabblematters adapter and it worked perfectly. If anyone is interested here it is the solution: https://www.amazon.com/Cable-Matters-Multiport-Thunderbolt-Compatible/dp/B01C316EIK
No, just one external monitor (plus the primary display) and Ethernet simultaneously (also extra USB devices, but I rarely if ever need those ports). Other dongles I tried would kill ethernet when the external monitor was active and vice versa. This one has a second (VGA) port that presumably would work as a second external, but I have never tested that as I only have one additional monitor at any of my workstations.
https://www.amazon.com/Cable-Matters-Multiport-Thunderbolt-Compatible/dp/B01C316EIK/ref=sr_1_1?s=electronics&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1494431078&amp;sr=1-1&amp;keywords=Cable+Matters+USB-C+Multiport+Adapter+with+4K+HDMI+or+VGA+Video%2C+USB+3.0+and+Gigabit+Ethernet+%28Thunderbolt+3+Port+Compatible%29
I suspect USB-C doesn't provide enough power natively to push two independent HDMI/DVI displays simultaneously.
I currently use this for my yoga 720 15:
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01C316EIK/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_uZvQzbESWJ6R3
MBP 15" TB here, I'm mostly using it for "office" work, frequent 2-hour presentations on projectors and the occasional VMware for programming in Windows. I do not have any major problem with the USB-C, instead I got some extra convenience.
I got this adapter to replace the thunderbolt-to-ethernet and thunderbolt-to-VGA adapters that I used before (with the old MBP). Overall the "dongle hell" is about the same volume as the previous "dongle hell" and quite more organised.
On the other hand, there are some advantages. I bought an Anker 60W charger for the office and an Anker 24W charger for my backpack as a backup. This only manages to slowly charge the laptop when it is sleeping but it extends the battery life when I'm using it by about 200-300% - which is good enough for backup "on the road". I also bought some extra cables, so maybe altogether I spent about £120 extra but my setup is now a lot lighter and a lot more resilient to mishaps. Also, I probably spent less than how much the adapters, extra chargers etc had cost for the old MBPr.
Still need to buy an SD adapter.
I don't use a hub, I use two USB-C adapters.

I bought this one and it works flawlessly. Not the cheapest option but comes with VGA, HDMI, Gigabit Ethernet, and a USB 3.1 Type A. Well worth the extra cost. Also remember you get what you pay for. This one is well constructed and reliable:

i found this on amazon UK. plug the displayport into the gpu and usb c into your monitor
The 2018 Mac mini only has Thunderbolt 3 (USB-C) connections, not Mini DisplayPort. So you’ll need a USB-C to Mini DisplayPort cable. Here is the one I have:
Plugable USB C to DisplayPort Adapter - 6ft (1.8m) Adapter Cable (Supports Resolutions up to 4K at 60Hz) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01EXKDRAC/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_tai_DztyDbKZCMVDS
Yeah if you want the full 60 Hz you’ll have to plug it into the HDMI 2.0 port and not the 1.4 ports. It usually is clearly labeled on the back of the monitor of at the very least in the manual.
I found this other solution that uses display port instead and doesn’t require any adapters if you prefer that. That way you don’t have to deal with the adapters or possibly putting in the wrong HDMI. And it’s only $22. I might get myself one too lol.
You don't need a "Mac specific" display. As long as it has at least one DisplayPort you can connect it without any adapters by using a USB-C to DisplayPort cable, which are standard things. Here is one, just as an example:
https://www.amazon.com/Plugable-USB-DisplayPort-Adapter-Cable/dp/B01EXKDRAC/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1536741674&amp;sr=8-5
If it has HDMI instead you can mostly do the same, except with some minor caveats. Resolutions above 4K are harder, but displays that high resolution are getting expensive as well. If you plan on going to 5K, let us know, and we can explain the details.
For gaming, 1080p is probably a good resolution. You can also go to 4K and drop the resolution to 1080p while gaming (that's what I do), but obviously it becomes more expensive.
https://www.amazon.ca/Plugable-DisplayPort-Thunderbolt-Supports-Resolutions/dp/B01EXKDRAC/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1536071873&amp;sr=8-3&amp;keywords=usb+c+displayport
Update: Bought this cable https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B01EXKDRAC/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&amp;psc=1
That's USB-C to DP, and it works flawlessly, so far. As it's being used in a Thunderbolt 3 port, it supports higher resolutions at higher refresh rates, so my 2560x1440 @60Hz is fine.
It shouldn't have been necessary, and it's more expensive than any old HDMI cable, but I'm so relieved that it's sorted.
I'll re-check the HDMI to HDMI situation every now and then, after a big kernel or BIOS update, especially as I might want to free up the TB3 port in the future.
We cannot speak to that product you linked, unless somebody here has the product and can confirm.
Otherwise.....
I can confirm the devices I own, Bean Canyon and Hades Canyon, both support ThunderBolt-3 over USB-c to external display tha features the DisplayPort connector. This works well, and I'm using this specific cable:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01EXKDRAC/
&#x200B;
The full size DisplayPort or the Mini DisplayPort really doesn't matter very much, I'm just showing you what I use. Obviously if your external display uses mini-DP, then go with able that provides that.
Unless the SSDs and HDDs are thunderbolt, there isn't much of a reason to run them through the the thunderbolt ports over USB-A unless they're higher speeds than USB3.0. You can connect your monitor using a USB-C to DisplayPort cable, I use one to connect a 4K monitor to my 2017 MacBook Pro, and it runs at 60hz.

Ok sorry but one more thing, this or this
People seem to be having luck driving 4k monitors off of 15" Macs with this cable so presumably it should work for 2560x1440 too.
I have this USB-C to HDMI adapter and it works well.
Cable Matters USB-C to HDMI Adapter
Edit: I also have this USB-C to Displayport cable, and it works great too.
Pluggable USB-C to Displayport Cable
I can see that U28E590D has Display Port. Just buy USB-C to Display Port cable and forget HDMI. Something like this should be fine. I use similar cable on a daily basis and have 60Hz at 4K res with MBP 13.
This one works amazing.
https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B01EXKDRAC/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&amp;psc=1

I used this cable: Plugable USBC to DisplayPort Adapter Cable
It's actually super nice just being able to use this single cable rather than having to keep track of a small adapter and additional cable.
To connect the MacBook Pro to a PG278Q, you'll need a USB C to displayport cable like this one.
The switching part is where things get tricky. You can get a 2:1 displayport switch like the Lindy brand one on Amazon, but it's only going to support 60hz max. That's fine for the Macbook, but I assume you're going to want a 144hz signal from the PC so that you can enjoy all that your G-Sync video card has to offer. And from what I can tell, there are no displayport switches that can handle 144hz or even 120hz. And even if there were, the cost would be high enough that buying a separate 1440p or 4k monitor just for the Macbook starts to make sense.
Hi. 1. Check if your monitor supports charging and data. It most likely does at 60 watts. If you have a 15 inch it will charge a bit slower. So you are good there. Worst case scenario you plug in your charger and the USB c cable.
2. Get a USB c to display port adapter. Plugable USB-C to DisplayPort Adapter Cable (6'/1.8m) for 2016 / 2017 MacBook Pro, MacBook Retina 2015 / 2016, Chromebook Pixel, Thunderbolt 3 & More (Supports 4K / UHD Displays up t https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B01EXKDRAC/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_MMAMzb3KHCK3A. That’s 1 cable
3. Extended desktop
take a look here. #2 (1x USB-C + 1x HDMI) and #3 (2x USB-C + 1x HDMI) look promising. Haven't looked at the others. I'm not sure that 2x USB-C ports means 2x 4k monitors, though. It looks like the Intel HD 620 integrated graphics don't support HDMI 2.0 without a separate chip. You may just be able to get a USB Type-C to Displayport adapter, IDK. I'm out of my depth here, I recommend making a post over at the Notebookreview forums where the real nerds hang out.
Edit: Actually, this is a thing. So I'm guessing you'll be OK as long as you have two USB Type-C ports, plus a separate port for power. You may even be able to daisy-chain two monitors somehow.
Continued research says that Displayport 1.3 and newer is enough bandwidth for 2x 4k 60hz. Holy cow. I think maybe the monitors have to explicitly support daisy chaining, or else you need a DP hub, but as long as you get something with USB C (with Thunderbolt for good measure, most of the nice machines have it anyway) you should be OK.
I use https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01EXKDRAC/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_MyfYCbJBPAW9M from my MacBook Pro to a 27inch 2560x1440.
Is it thunder bolt 3.0? I have a Razer blade 2016 and use a thunderbolt (usb-c to display port) to play on my Asus 144hz and it runs at 144hz. Make sure you get one that supports 4K @ 60hz. I got this one:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B01EXKDRAC/ref=ya_aw_oh_bia_dp?ie=UTF8&amp;psc=1
I have the Alienware 15R2 (6th gen processor as well and a GTX 970m). I have the same monitor.
I'm currently using Archlinux (up to date) and it works just fine using bumblebee. (works, in fact, much better than connecting to the hdmi port). I'm using this cable. EDIT: minor formatting.
As a reference, I barely hit the constant 144fps mark playing TF2 on low settings with my 1060 blade laptop. So yes, I have my laptop hooked up to a 144hz monitor using this: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01EXKDRAC. Hope this helps.
Your main issue is MST setting. Apple doesn't support it because their hardware doesn't really need it. Technically, they do support it and here's the page where you can get more info. However, they don't implement the full standard (i.e. Daisy Chaining monitors).
In the link above, you'll notice that your MacBook can, and should, run 2 4K displays without issue but I don't believe you'll be able to do this from your dock.
Primary MST (Multi Stream Transport) takes the entire bandwidth of a DisplayPort 1.2, which runs at 4K/5K 60Hz. From this article, I'm gathering that you can't really drive so many monitors from a single USB type-C cable on MacOS. It's possible on Windows because of full MST implementation, hence why Dell advertises that option.
My suggestion is to use the monitors as USB hubs themselves. The way I have it hooked up, and working, is:
As always, my disclaimer is that YMMV and I'm not a computer engineer nor am I an expert of any kind. I've read forums, tried plugs, and got it to work. Also, there are some omissions about HDMI with regards to apple standards and stuff that some folks can nitpick on, however, this post is long enough and you can get your monitors to work without the additional information.
P.S. One thing I did was when I got each monitor to work, individually, is to turned off MST support via the following steps: Monitor OST --> Menu --> Display --> MST --> Off. This allows for each monitor to work in 4K 60Hz, for me. Don't know if it helped or not, just something I did. This came from a Reviewer on Amazon named Bob.
Edit: Formating.
Certainly!
These are what I bought.
I am not using a splitter., I am using a USB C to Display port Cable, an HDMI 2.0 Cable, and a Mini Display Port to Display Port Cable.

That won't work, since the XPS models lack a Mini DisplayPort connector, you would need something like https://www.amazon.ca/Plugable-Chromebook-ThunderboltTM-Supports-3840x2160/dp/B01FIVSC6Y/ref=sr_1_3?s=electronics&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1485650405&amp;sr=1-3&amp;keywords=usb+c+to+hdmi+2 this, since it's thunderbolt port uses a USB Type C Connector.
I just received this adapter today https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01FIVSC6Y but I'm having some trouble. When the USB and HDMI are plugged in, the Windows Mixed Reality Portal says "Check your display cable. Make sure your headset's display cable is plugged in correctly."
Not sure if I'm doing something wrong, adapter is a dud, or my headset doesn't work. I haven't been able to use it yet.
> I was connecting to a USB to HDMI
This sounds like you are using a DisplaLink device which is a USB driven graphics adapter (there is a lightweight gpu in the device that does the processing). While they are decent devices, you will get better performance and more supported resolutions if you run the HDMI straight off of the internal GPU via USB-C to HDMI directly. Something like this: https://www.amazon.com/CAC-1504-Chromebook-Thunderbolt-Supports-3840x2160/dp/B016QO8186
Or this: https://www.amazon.com/Plugable-USB-C-HDMI-Chromebook-Thunderbolt/dp/B01FIVSC6Y
Not saying that was for sure your issue but if you are doing presentations regularly I would suggest getting something like the above.
Yep maybe try this USB-C to HDMI 2.0 adapter, with and without the dock
https://www.amazon.com/Plugable-Thunderbolt-Supports-Displays-3840x2160/dp/B01FIVSC6Y
If you aren't used to it you may not notice it, but after you use 60hz and switch back to 30hz it is very noticeable.

HDMI to VGA
DVI-D to VGA
DisplayPort to VGA
Any of those will do what you need.
The 1060 does not support analog graphics at all, so the cheap, passive, DVI to VGA adapters won't work.
You need an active adapter like this: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01FL7H7HA/ or this: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00879DM56/
https://www.amazon.com/gofanco-Active-DVI-D-Converter-Black/dp/B01FL7H7HA/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1491338613&amp;sr=8-3&amp;keywords=vga+to+dvi-d
It did not work.
You really need to look up your laptop specs and see if it has a TB3 port. But generally speaking, a USBC port with a lightening bolt means its a thunderbolt3.
IF that's what it is, this is the kind of adapter you need
https://www.amazon.com/Cable-Matters-DisplayPort-Adapter-Supporting/dp/B01K51GM46/ref=sr_1_7?keywords=thunderbolt+3+to+displayport&qid=1563416138&s=gateway&sr=8-7
&#x200B;
But for the adapter to work, your TB3 needs to be directly tied to your discreet GPU in the laptop and not the Integrated one which isnt compatible.
Just get one of the basic adapters like this one:
https://www.amazon.com/Cable-Matters-DisplayPort-Adapter-Supporting/dp/B01K51GM46/
I can't promise that that particular adapter will work well, as sometimes individual adapters have minor variations that cause issues, but several people mention it working well with the Rift S.
The odds of any particular one are good since they're not "active" adapters, they don't regenerate, translate or convert the signal. They're just physical adapters connecting the right pins. All the smarts is in the software on your computer and device.
The expensive ones you're seeing are usually for some other type of conversion where they have to do an active conversion, or act as a display adapter where there is none (like connecting HDMI over USB 2.0).
I'm not too well versed in VirtualLink, I believe it's a working group or committee standard developed by multiple companies, of which Valve is one. It's unlikely that anyone would be contractually required to use any port. The companies just work together to develop a standard that they're all comfortable using, and then they use it because they think it's beneficial. Sometimes it doesn't work out that way, sometimes a particular standard has too many issues and doesn't really catch on until version 2, sometimes they're just abandoned entirely for technical or non-technical reasons.
No VR headsets require VirtualLink, DP via DP, Thunderbolt or USB-C 3.1 Gen2 ports should support them all.
I suspected the same. Ordering one now. I found a CableMatters TB3 to DP adapter and CableMatters TB3 to DP 3feet Cable, Which one is the better option the adapter or a 3feet cable ( no lesser length available in India)?

Cable Matters USB C to... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01K51GM46?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share
I have the same Mac as you and had some issues finding a 60hz adapter. Go with option one and buy a new adapter (something like this) . A TB2 to TB3 won’t work in this instance as it’s a display port connection and not a thunderbolt one (despite being the same connector shape)
This is the adaptor I am using: Cable Matters USB 3.1 Type C (USB-C & Thunderbolt 3 Port Compatible) to DisplayPort 4K 60Hz UHD Adapter in Black https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01K51GM46/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_BOawybGWZBC38
And I bought this cable:
Cable Matters 3-Feet Gold Plated DisplayPort to DisplayPort Cable, 4K Resolution Ready, (102005-3) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00C7RP2QQ/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_YSawybCK2XCS2
I researched and technically Daisy Chaining should work, but my second monitor is DVI, so I bought a Display Port to DVI cable and I can't get it to work for me. A newer monitor with Display Port in might.

Then just plug the usb into the motherboard.
I have used it a couple times and haven't had any issues other than a few moments of stuttering randomly. My guess is the laptop was downloading something or popping up an alert. This is the adapter I bought, if that helps!

Sorry if I am proving what seems like conflicting information. I checked 'System Information' and it tells me that I have a 'Surface Book 2' in the System Summary area.
I went to this: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/4052030/surface-usb-c and it told me that I have a USB-C port.
So, I went to Amazon and bought this guy: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01K51GM46/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&amp;psc=1 Obviously, my hardware isn't a Dell, but I took a chance that I could get a driver to make this work.
Does this clarify? I do appreciate any light you can shine on this.
Thanks.
I bought this to use as a dock https://www.amazon.com/Cable-Matters-Delivery-Thunderbolt-compatible/dp/B06XNS7W63/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1504580717&amp;sr=8-1-spons&amp;keywords=s8+hdmi+adapter&amp;psc=1
But the switch doesnt seem to understand that it's supposed to output anything through the HDMI. To my knowledge, this is the exact same tech as the sfans dock and switchcon. With everything plugged in, the switch charges but it unfortunately doesnt try to display the image on the TV, and stays in handheld mode.
My current dock is busted and I know my switch is fine because it functions perfectly on other docks.
Can anyone help, please? I really can't afford to buy a new dock which is why I opted for this one.
Yup I do this all the time when I travel. Sentio works pretty well and Project Linda was using it in their demos.
I use this dock. Just know there's no input so you'll have to connect to it with Bluetooth devices. There are some docks that have usb input. I just like to make sure it has power delivery too. I also mount the phone on a fan grip so it doesn't overheat.

If you get a display port one, you can shoot 120 for into a high fps monitor too.
This one works!

Sonofa... I just tried it last night and couldn't get it to work, and it definitely did on Android 6 (now on 7). I have this one: https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B06XNS7W63/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 and it works like a champ on my Samsung S8+ so that could be an option, but now I need to figure out what happened to my Asus!
I just tried it with my Acer ET322QK and the Club3D Display Port 1.2 to HDMI 2.0 active adapter, and it didn't work. I might try to mess around with the settings on the X, but I'm pretty sure it's a no go.
They do make a newer version of the adapter that supports HDR and Displayport 1.4 if anybody is interested in trying it, but it does state on the product page that the source system must support display port, so seems unlikely.

You can enable VRR over diplayport in the nvidia control panel.
So the top 2 options may just be possible.
I wanted to get 1440p@120hz with VRR enabled from my 2080ti to my LG C9
Question: I have an RTX 2080FE and it only has one HDMI Port that has to be used for my monitor. I need another HDMI(2.0) for my WMR VR headset. Should using a Displayport to hdmi adapter like this work or is swapping the plug each time I use VR my only option?
This is the adapter I bought: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B077JB28KM/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_P947BbMJA09PZ
It looks like that Cable Matters one only supports 4K 30Hz and no HDR. That'll be a hard pass for me.
Good chance its the adapter yea, you might have to do some more research and find an adapter that people have specifically used for the rift. VR is very sensitive to adapters and extenders so find a 4k 60hz capable one and you should be good. Heres one that has some good reviews from people using it with VR. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B077JB28KM/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_OQh6CbFB1T6SX
I use this one:
Club3D CAC-1080 Active DisplayPort 1.4 to HDMI 2.0b HDR Adapter (support displays up to 4k/UHD/ 4096x2160 @60Hz HDR) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B077JB28KM/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_9NnZCbWSDQY8N
I accidentally bought a non active DP to HDMI and had the same issue you're having. Sent it back and got this one. Only asking because I made this mistake. Are you 100&#37; sure it's an active one?
The only way I can think of to check 90Hz is to play a low quality video on DeoVR Video Player and have it display FPS. It should cap out at 90FPS if you're in 90Hz mode.

I bought these and they are reliable
Lots out there. Thunderbolt accessories aren't widely available and ones that are (like the TB15) suck for the most part. Not to mention they're steeply priced.

you might need to pull an apple and get an adapter for USB C

It converts to HDMI 2.0 which supports it.
That's a good but expensive monitor.
Whichever monitor you end up buying, do get an active miniDP to HDMI adapter if you wish to make full use of 4K@60Hz from your Surface.
I recommend this one:
Plugable Active Mini DisplayPort to HDMI 2.0 Adapter (Supports displays up to 4k / UHD / 3840x2160@60Hz)
Bad idea, too random and most adapters will be crap.
If op has a vive, he can use displayport for vr and hdmi for his monitor. Just needs to buy a male displayport to male mini display port cable.
If OP has a rift, then he needs two hdmi, so he should use the hdmi on the card for the rift and get a displayport to hdmi adapter for the monitor.
If his monitor supports hdmi 2.0, he needs this.
If his monitor is hdmi 1.4 or lower he needs this. A key for an hdmi 1.4 or lower adapter is that it states "eyefinity" this tells you it is an active adapter and thus will work in all situations. Cheaper passive adapters will not work in all displayports, they only work if the video card handles the active timing for the port, not all ports support this.
Something like this one maybe.
Or this one although it takes a USB port.
Not sure if they work, but I don't see why it wouldn't.
Either way I'm glad Asus provided 2 HDMI ports as current gen VR headsets use HDMI for video input — even if they did include the USB Type C connector for future VR headsets.
is a 2200g mobo case psu cheaper than a pentium + asrock deskmini. Is there anything that a 2200g htpc can do that my g4560 one cannot? i have a 4k hdr tv and i use this adapter
