Question 1

Is this an Active Adapter? or a passive? I've been mislead by item titles before

Accepted Answer

I do not know for sure, but I suspect that it is active because mine heats up when I use it. It shuts down and the screen goes blank when it gets too hot. If I unplug it and let it cool down, it will work again. I get about 1/2 hour of use before it overheats.

Question 2

What type of devices can I connect using the StarTech.com DP2HD4KS converter?

Accepted Answer

You can connect an HDMI monitor to a DisplayPort video source, as it is compatible with DisplayPort-enabled computer systems and HDMI-enabled televisions, monitors, and projectors.

Question 3

What is the maximum resolution supported by the StarTech.com DP2HD4KS DisplayPort to HDMI converter?

Accepted Answer

The maximum digital resolution supported by the StarTech.com DP2HD4KS DisplayPort to HDMI converter is 4K x 2K at 30 Hz.

Question 4

Will this run at 60 MHz on a 2k monitor?

Hi Jeremy P,
I had trouble with this adapter in fact I purchased two and neither worked for very long with my HP 25 inch 1080P or full sized 40 inch 1080P, I am using an ATI Firepro V8800 with 12 core, 24 gig RAM, Windows 7 workstation platform. So I purchased the correct dongle which is USB powered through the AMD ATI firepro site and noticed they do have a certified 4K dongle that works. I would recommend the USB powered Dongle for larger screens.
