Hi there not all individual hdmi to displayport are non bi directional but they can be fairly expensive and difficult to find.
Displayport to dvi cable not working.
I ve connected my new hd monitor through vga without any issues.
My display adapters are dameware development mirror driver 64 bit and radeon hd 6470m.
We know the cable is working or else the computer wouldn t be able to detect the monitor.
Jovanp dp to dvi cables only work to connect a displayport source to a dvi input they do not work in the opposite direction as you are attempting.
Or setting the monitor as the primary monitor are all in the display settings.
I have the adapter plugged it into the display port in port and then the dvi cable going to my pc.
I have your displayport to dvi d adapter and i am pluging into it a dvi d to vga adapter and my vga montior gives the message no input signal detected and doesn t work.
Extend your desktop to a second monitor 1920x1200 or 1080p for an expanded workstation or show presentations on a projector at school or work with this cable.
When i try to detect for the monitor in displays under windows 7 64bit.
The monitor is an asus ve278q.
This is an active adapter i bought from amazon.
Based on your configuration and the individual displays and system you are utilizing i would still advise utilizing a hdmi to dvi based adapter so that you do not run into additional issues.
When i connect the notebook to the monitor using a displayport to displayport cable and set the monitor in displayport mode no connection is established.
