Setup Instructions
Follow these steps to connect your UGREEN DisplayPort to HDMI adapter:
- Connect the Adapter to the 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).
- Connect the HDMI Cable: Connect one end of an HDMI cable (not included) into the HDMI female port of the adapter.
- Connect to HDMI Display: Connect the other end of the HDMI cable to the HDMI input port of your display device (e.g., monitor, TV, projector).
The adapter is plug-and-play, requiring no additional drivers. Ensure both your DisplayPort source device and HDMI display device support the desired resolution and refresh rate (e.g., 8K@60Hz) to achieve that specific effect.

Troubleshooting
- No Display/Signal:
- Ensure all connections are secure.
- Verify that the DisplayPort source device is powered on and outputting a signal.
- Confirm the HDMI display is set to the correct input source.
- Remember this is a uni-directional adapter (DP to HDMI only). It will not work if connecting an HDMI source to a DisplayPort display.
- Lower Resolution/Refresh Rate Than Expected:
- Check that both your DisplayPort source device and HDMI display device support the desired resolution and refresh rate.
- Ensure your HDMI cable is rated for the desired resolution and refresh rate (e.g., an 8K HDMI cable for 8K@60Hz). Refer to the specifications table for cable length and AWG guidelines.
- Update graphics drivers on your source PC.
- Audio Issues:
- Verify audio output settings on your source device are configured to send audio via DisplayPort/HDMI.
- Check the volume levels on both your source device and display.
- Display Not Recovering from Sleep Mode:
- If the display does not resume after the PC enters sleep mode, try unplugging and re-inserting the adapter.
- Consider adjusting power management settings on your PC to prevent the DisplayPort from entering a deep sleep state.
- G-SYNC/VRR Functionality:
- While G-SYNC compatibility has been reported, Variable Refresh Rate (VRR) support may vary depending on your specific hardware and software configuration.
