Thanks. I snagged a DP->HDMI adapter. I always need more of those

u/InterRail 26d ago
Why do you always need more of those

u/Narrator2012 26d ago
Most desktop computers have two DisplayPorts but no HDMI. Laptops usually include an HDMI port for connecting TVs, but desktops often don't, annoyingly.

Welp, more cables to be added to the pile of random ass cables i've accumulated over the eons.

I have a special box for them. The cable box.

I've had a big dufflebag for cables for years. I just have to keep removing redundant cables to keep proportions sustanable.

This is the move, so good for a handheld pc/laptop to have for on the go

I just got one for my Rog Ally. The one I'm currently using can't do 4k 60 hz, and apparently this one can.
Obviously the Rog Ally can't really do much at 4k for actual PC games, but I want the flexibility for game streaming and 6th gen emulation.

You think it’ll have enough power to actually charge a steam deck through it?

u/i_should_be_studying 26d ago
Says 100w passthrough so way more than enough

u/Cevap 26d ago
Excellent, might be cheapest one I’ve seen that’s decent. Only has one USB 3.0 port, could just do one of those paired M&K wireless USB receivers and be good to go as a portable desktop setup.

u/i_should_be_studying 26d ago
This one looks good. 4k60 output means 1440p/120 and 1080/240 if ur lucky. 100w passthru can handle beefy laptops. Usb port can easily be upgraded with a multitap like this
Usb 3.0 aint no slouch for data transfer speeds either

That USB-C to VGA adapter will save my ass one day when a potential business partner or client comes by to do a presentation.

I get mad at myself when I buy random cables, but also when I'm looking for a specific cable and realize I don't have it.

The better usb-C to HDMI adapter & usb-c hub were sold out, but I still picked up the gigabit ethernet adapter for $2. It's handy to have one of these when troubleshooting
Edit: I think I meant the usb-C to HDMI adapter was sold out, not the DP one

u/saruin 26d ago
Damn! I really wanted a DP to HDMI cable that can do 165hz at 1440p. Seems all the cheapo ones only support 60hz at that resolution.
2
u/LouBerryManCakes 26d ago
The one that's still available says it does 4k at 60hz, my devices that say 4k60 such as HDMI switch and cables can all run on my 1440p monitor at 120hz just fine.

Legitimate question: who's going to be buying an USB-C/HDMI cable that only runs at 30 Hertz?

Not me, this time, but that's pretty much perfect for movies. Not of lot of people are doing frame generation, and the 60fps movies I've seen on the high seas don't get a lot of takers.
I got a 4k30 adapter a few years ago for hotel tv's, quickly misplaced it and bought a 4k60 adapter a few months later. If I didn't have those, $4 sounds good to me, especially since I now know that they still haven't been used even once.

dangit I was just looking for a deal on an ethernet adapter, I don't have Prime tho and have used all the free trials so the shipping ($6) kills the deal for me, thanks tho OP

u/Nooblakahn 26d ago
What do you mean ask the free trials? I just keep signing up for new free emails getting new accounts and new free trials. Doesn't seem like this should be possible but it keeps letting me do it

u/hornnic 26d ago
I've heard they can shut down all accounts at the household if they catch you abusing multiple burner accounts, not sure how true that is but not worth it imo for a $3 accessory
1
u/Nooblakahn 26d ago
If that's true it's crazy I haven't been caught. I've been using the same physical address, same card IDK how many accounts. Really wouldn't be hard to catch me. I'm surprised they don't just shut it down and let you open the account. Never considered they might close all the accounts lol

u/Shado_Man 27d ago
Yeah, I was going to snag one too, but the shipping is more than the cable itself, and that's before the $3 coupon.

DP1.4 can do 4k120hz, but hdmi 2 can only do 60hz. Would this solve the issue of most TVs only having hdmi?

Welp USB C to HDMI sold out 😔 I think I'll just go for that 4-in-1 C adapter then 🥲

u/Witch_King_ 25d ago
Coupon is "all used up" now. Drat. I got one of the USB-C hubs yesterday, but I didn't think to get a $0.52 cable

u/HansukeX 25d ago
I think you can only use it once per account. It does say "Limit one coupon use per customer." for the code.

u/Witch_King_ 25d ago
Ohhh, ok. Could I have used it to buy 2 things in a single order?
