StarTech Active DisplayPort to DVI-D Adapter, 1920x1200 (DP2DVIS)

First for those who purchased this and it did not work, shame on you. This is an Active Display Port Adapter. If your PC does not have display port then this will not work for you. As well if you are trying to run this on mini display port, again shame on you. Now onto the good stuff. My PC at work has 2 DVI and 1 Display ports, my home PC has 1 DVI, 1 HDMI and 4 display ports. These work in both and all ports. I used the DVI as there are many monitors that support it. My work PC has all slots full. On windows 7 all I did was shut off the PC, plug this into the DISPLAY PORT, and turn it on. Instantly had 3 monitors. Within the windows desktop control setup I was able to arrange the new monitor to its physical location. Easy as it gets. My home PC has 6 monitors on it. This adapter was recommended by my video cards manufacture. They are Radeon 7770 series. Again plugged all these adapters in, powered up the PC and all of them came to life. I again had to arrange the monitors in the screen resolution tool. All you do is click on the monitor and drag it to where you want it, its really that easy. On top of that I have it setup part time in Eyefinity. This makes all 6 screens into 1 large screen. Again smooth as glass. To anyone with a display port on the pc this is the right adapter. For those who it did not work with, shame on you for not reading what this does.

This adapter works, no finagling, no janky stuff. Just plug it into my DP port on my video card and it converts it to DVI and handles 1080p or 1200p resolutions without any issue, no issues with scan size, screen, resolution, etc, brightness, nothing. Can't tell its adapted at all. No extra power cable, no USB, nothing needed. Simple and works. Lets you span out those monitors from a multi-output video card easily, if you have older monitors that are not HDMI/DP/etc, like older DVI/VGA setups. Remember this will not work for 4k resolution or higher. Get a new monitor for that. This is to simple convert DP at 1080p/1200p resolution to DVI for use on older monitors. Saved me buying a new monitor and/or older video cards (video cards rarely have DVI now for multi-output, its all DP these days).

This active Displayport to single-link DVI adapter is recommended by AMD for use in Eyefinity setups, and it works as advertised. There was no software nor driver to install - plug it in and it works. The image quality using this adapter is identical to using a native DVI connection for my monitor. There is no noticeable lag in waking up the monitor when connected with this adapter, and it goes to sleep properly also. Because it's an active adapter, it enables me to add a third monitor to my workstation (technically the docking station of my laptop). All at a reasonable price. Some background: Most graphics cards that support more than two monitors can only support two monitors using DVI/HDMI/VGA. Adding a third (or more) requires the use of Displayport. While there exist (cheaper) passive Displayport to DVI cables, an active adapter must typically be used to break the two monitor barrier. And at least at time of writing (1/5/2013), LCD monitors with Displayport inputs cost far more than LCDs with DVI and one of these adapters. Dell Precision M6600, with AMD Firepro M8900 and Windows 7 Enterprise 64bit E/Port Plus 210W Port Replicator 3 monitors: 1080p laptop display, 1080p Samsung LCD, 1280x1024 NEC LCD (connected via the StarTech adapter).

I initially bought the Accell DisplayPort to DVI-D, and it would not work. My setup is: - Sapphire Radeon HD 7950 3GB - 3x Asus 25.5" 1200p 60hz monitors My intention was to use it to run games such as Tera Online, Elite Dangerous, Star Citizen, etc. After having struggled with the Accell, I was hesitant to see if the StarTech adapter would work, but it did! Almost immediately after plugging it into my computer, all three monitors popped to life. Using Catalyst to enable Eyefinity, then arranging the desktop playout properly, and I haven't had any significant issues since. I can play all the games at respectable FPS (The 7950 is old, but still a lively beast) on medium/high quality, though I tend to stick to medium in order to ensure good FPS still. One of the issues I'm having (not too huge an issue but hurts gaming immersion) is that on areas with perfect black (lots of those space sims have that often, if you can imagine!) my left monitor (the one with the displayport) and sometimes my right.. or all of them actually (but mainly the left), will have green lines flickering horizontally across the screen. This is for areas that are supposed to be perfectly black. If I switch out of the game or bring up something that has color (planet, menu, etc) the flickering stops, but will continue afterwards. I'm not sure why. But for now, the displayport is holding up marvelously. And at such a low cost! Also, for those of you with my same setup (or approximately), I use Catalyst to boost my card. +20% power, 1200mhz OC, 1350 memory OC, 50% manual fan speed. Works like a charm, and significantly improves my FPS across all my games with minimal increase to heat.

This is very easy to use and works very well. Needed to transfer an image from an echo machine in the OR to a monitor in the room. Worked flawlessly.

I had a StarTech passive adapter and it worked fine in a triple monitor setup as long as my main (center) monitor was hooked up to the adapter. When it wasn't, my extended monitors would disconnect when they went to sleep. The problem is that the DisplayPort is not the primary port on a EVGA GTX660. So, in order to use my main monitor on the primary port, I had to purchase an active adapter. I originally tried the Cable Matters active adapter and it worked fine but the monitor attached to it was slow to wake from sleep (about 5-10 seconds). Same problem with the replacement. Finally, tried this one from StarTech and it works perfectly. I've only had it for a couple weeks but so far it works like an active adapter should.

It looked solidly made and I spoke with Startech tech support first to confirm this part number for my use: computer output of DisplayPort and single monitor input of DVI-D. Requires active and device marked active. It worked just fine for almost 60 days. It even has a good DisplayPort positive lock. It is active but probably not meant for heavy use. This was used on one compact industrial computer running Windows 10 IOT and connected to one specialized 19" monitor. It was mounted, protected, zip-tied, environmentally stable (60 degrees to 80 degrees), indoors. It was simply a failure of a product. I would typically make an allowance for an isolated failure. Stuff happens. However, we've had enough problems with Startech products in the past. This one was a costly failure. So, we will eliminate Startech as a go-to manufacturer for anything critical.

Works as expected. Supports eyefinity and nvidia surround. No problems with mine, quality is good I see no fuzzy picture like I have in the past with cheaper displayport converters. UPDATE: This product malfunctioned after about a week of use. This is a common problem with all displayports however, Amazing simple fulfilled me with a new one.

Ist was ich erwarte habe,hab ein billiges gekauft und nach 1 monat war es nicht mehr zu gebrauchen der billigeren chip die sie da einbauen hat keine Qualität und zerstört sich schnell,lieber ein biessen mehr ausgeben und ruhig zu bleiben

This active displayport to DVI adapter works great to connect more than 2 monitors to my video card. I currently have a triple monitor Eyefinity set-up on my workstation and it works without a problem out of the box. You need an ACTIVE displayport adapter if you want to use an ATI video card to have 3 monitors. Your 3rd monitor will not work with a passive cable. In addition, I really like how the Displayport part of the adapater watches into my video card, it's almost impossible that it disconnects by itself while I'm working, since you have to press a button to release it from the computer. There is no flickering on the monitor and it passes through my 1680x1050 resolution without any complaints. Highly recommended for triple monitor enthusiasts !

Teníamos que conectar tres monitores por DVI en una Quadro K4000 y, como norma general, para conectar más de dos monitores a una gráfica con algún tipo de conversor es necesario utilizar un adaptador activo. Además nos interesaba que fuera de calidad porque la resolución más baja de las tres pantallas son 1900x1200 píxeles y que no mostrara artefactos ni interferencias en la imagen. Pues funciona perfectamente, conectado a dos monitores y una tablet Wacom Cintiq, sin realizar configuración alguna y además detectando la pantalla conectada al adaptador perfectamente a través del protocolo EDID. En resumen, no hay ninguna diferencia apreciable entre la calidad de imagen con este adaptador y la de un puerto DVI encastrado en la tarjeta gráfica.

Por alguna razon que desconozco un monitor apple cinema display no funciono con mi nueva nvidia 1050Ti, conectado directamente al puerto DVI y despues usando un adaptador HDMI a DVI, navegando en google me di cuenta que probablemente lo que necesitaba era un adaptador ACTIVO y por suerte encontre este a un precio bastante atractivo y decidi probar suerte ya que no estaba seguro si me serviria, afotunadamente funciona a la primera y estoy satisfecho...la calidad del producto es de primera el cable es flexible y resistente lo que ayuda a no poner stress inecesario en el puerto DP y asi extender su vida util.

They've continued to work faultlessly. Decent price as well
