2. Product Features
- High Resolution Support: Experience stunning visuals with support for 8K resolution at 60Hz and 4K resolution at 240Hz. This ensures high-definition video transmission without signal loss or delay. Please ensure your display settings are configured correctly for optimal performance. Note: This cable is not compatible with VRR/ALLM/Free-Sync/G-Sync.
- Unidirectional Transmission: This cable is designed for one-way signal conversion from a DisplayPort source to an HDMI display. It cannot transmit signals from an HDMI source to a DisplayPort display.
- Powered DisplayPort Requirement: For proper functionality, the DisplayPort source must provide power. If using a DisplayPort splitter, verify that the DP port is powered. Note: Use with USB-C to DP adapters is not recommended.
- Universal Compatibility: Connects various devices with DisplayPort outputs, such as computers, to displays with HDMI inputs, including televisions, monitors, and projectors.
- Smooth and Stable Transmission: Supports advanced features like HDR (High Dynamic Range), DSC (Display Stream Compression), and 3D for detailed and vibrant image display. The cable provides effective anti-interference protection, ensuring stable video transmission without lag or flickering. For best results, connect the cable directly from the DP source to the HDMI display, avoiding intermediate docking stations.

3. Setup Instructions
Follow these steps to correctly set up your UGREEN DisplayPort to HDMI cable:
- Identify Ports: Locate the DisplayPort output on your source device (e.g., computer, laptop) and the HDMI input on your display device (e.g., monitor, TV, projector).
- Connect DisplayPort: Insert the DisplayPort connector of the cable into the DisplayPort output of your source device. Ensure it is fully seated.
- Connect HDMI: Insert the HDMI connector of the cable into the HDMI input of your display device. Ensure it is fully seated.
- Power Requirement: Verify that your DisplayPort source is providing power. If it is an unpowered DisplayPort, the cable may not function.
- Configure Display Settings: Turn on both your source device and display. Access your device's display settings to select the correct input source and adjust resolution/refresh rate as needed for optimal performance (e.g., 8K 60Hz or 4K 240Hz).

5. Maintenance
To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your UGREEN cable, follow these maintenance guidelines:
- Handle with Care: Avoid bending the cable sharply, especially near the connectors, as this can damage internal wires.
- Proper Storage: When not in use, coil the cable loosely and store it in a clean, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
- Clean Connectors: If necessary, gently clean the metal connectors with a dry, lint-free cloth to remove dust or debris. Do not use liquid cleaners.
- Avoid Strain: Do not pull on the cable itself to disconnect it. Always grasp the connector housing firmly.

6. Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your UGREEN DisplayPort to HDMI cable, refer to the following common solutions:
- No Image Output:
- Confirm that the DisplayPort end is connected to the output device and the HDMI end is connected to the display device. Remember, this is a unidirectional cable (DP to HDMI only).
- Ensure the DisplayPort on your source device is powered. The cable requires power from the DP port to function.
- Try reducing the display resolution on your computer's output settings. Some monitors may require manual selection of the input signal source; check your monitor's configuration page to select the correct source.
- Test the cable with other computers and displays to determine if the issue is with the cable or the connected devices.
- Flickering or Unstable Image:
- Ensure both connectors are securely plugged in.
- Reduce the resolution or refresh rate to see if stability improves.
- Avoid connecting the cable through docking stations or adapters; a direct connection from DP source to HDMI display is recommended.
- No Audio:
- Check your computer's sound settings to ensure the HDMI output is selected as the default audio device.
- Verify that your display device (TV/monitor) has its volume turned up and is not muted.
