As an alternative to finding a video card for displaying documents and fine text from my computer to a 4K TV, I have been looking into 4K Display Port to HDMI adapters. These are available fairly inexpensively even at 4K @ 60 Hz, although the Amazon Basics adapters appear to suffer from too cheap contacts. (I suspect they may be ok if plugged in and rarely disturbed.)
So was I. I just installed two DP to HDMI adapters for a client who got new 4K monitors. Active adapters were required for 4k 60Hz.
Of course... except that I don’t need 4k 60 fps on all card outputs as I’m not gaming and the card it looks like I’m getting* (just put in an offer on eBay) MAY only do 4k on ONE output, the rest 2k or lower. (Seems to be some debate about that.) No matter, I only have one 4k display.
Nonetheless I found a 4k 60 Hz cable in my “Video Cables” box, so, assuming it meets it’s description, I should be good to go. And Amazon is running some very good specials, too...
It looks like “Amazon Basics” will be fine (at least the models with good reviews.)
Is USB-C to HDMI a possibility? Many new PCs and laptops have few other ports than USB-C.
