3. Setup and Installation
The UGREEN DisplayPort to HDMI Adapter is designed for simple plug-and-play operation. Follow these steps to connect your devices:
- Connect to DisplayPort Source: Insert the DisplayPort male connector of the adapter into the DisplayPort output port of your source device (e.g., PC, laptop, graphics card).
Image: Step 1 - Plug the adapter into the DisplayPort source.
- Connect HDMI Cable: Plug your HDMI cable into the HDMI female port of the adapter.
Image: Step 2 - Plug an HDMI cable into the adapter.
- Connect to HDMI Display: Connect the other end of your HDMI cable to the HDMI input port on your display device (e.g., monitor, projector, HDTV).
Image: Step 3 - Connect the HDMI cable to your display.
Note: Both the DisplayPort source device and the HDMI monitor must support the desired resolution and refresh rate (e.g., 8K@60Hz) to achieve optimal performance.
4. Operating Instructions
Once connected, the adapter will automatically detect and transmit the video and audio signal from your DisplayPort source to your HDMI display. No additional drivers or software are required for basic operation.
Display Modes
Your operating system typically allows for different display configurations:
- Extended Mode: This mode allows you to extend your desktop across multiple screens, providing more workspace for multitasking.
- Mirror Mode: This mode duplicates your primary display onto the secondary screen, which is ideal for presentations, sharing content, or watching videos with others.

5. Compatibility
This adapter is designed for specific DisplayPort to HDMI connections. Please review the compatible and incompatible devices below:
Compatible Devices (DisplayPort Source)
- Desktops
- Graphics Cards (e.g., AMD, NVIDIA, RTX 50/30/40, RX 6000/7000 series)
- Laptops (e.g., ThinkPad T14 Gen 4)
- Any device with a DisplayPort output interface
Compatible Devices (HDMI Display)
- Projectors
- Monitors (e.g., UltraSharp)
- HDTVs
- VR Headsets
Incompatible Devices (HDMI Source or other port types)
- MacBook (if using HDMI as source)
- Gaming Consoles: PS5, PS4, Switch, Switch 2, Xbox (these are HDMI source devices)
- GoPro (HDMI source device)
- Docking stations (unless they specifically have a DisplayPort output)
- Mini DP, Micro HDMI, USB-A (different connector types)

6. Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues, refer to the following common solutions:
No Signal or Incorrect Resolution
- Ensure both the DisplayPort source device and the HDMI display support the desired resolution and refresh rate. For example, to achieve 8K@60Hz, both devices must support it.
- Verify that the adapter is securely connected to both the DisplayPort output of your source and the HDMI cable leading to your display.
- Check your display settings on your computer to ensure the correct resolution and refresh rate are selected for the connected display.
- Confirm the adapter is unidirectional (DP to HDMI only). It will not work if connecting an HDMI source to a DP display.
Flickering or Unstable Display
- Ensure all cables are securely connected. Loose connections can cause signal instability.
- Try a different HDMI cable, as cable quality can affect signal integrity, especially at higher resolutions and refresh rates.
- Reduce the resolution or refresh rate in your display settings to see if the issue persists. This can help determine if the problem is related to bandwidth limitations.
- Update your graphics card drivers to the latest version.
- Note for Linux users: Some users have reported issues with VRR (Variable Refresh Rate) or achieving full refresh rates (e.g., 144Hz) on Linux with AMD GPUs, potentially due to kernel patch requirements. Check for the latest kernel updates or community forums for specific solutions.
