How does one connect their PS4/Xbox to a DisplayPort monitor?
I recently purchased one of these devices, but when connected the monitor does not receive any signal.
you can't go HDMI -> DisplayPort
only DisplayPort -> HDMI
or you might be able to go HDMI -> DisplayPort with an 'active' adapter. Not sure about that though. I just know a normal HDMI to DP cable/passive adapter definitely won't work.
>unironically owning a console
I hope it belongs to your wife's son.

Why would you possibly want to do that
God is teaching you that consoles are for retards
>>54473573
More like the gods are teaching him that HDMI is vastly more popular and therefore monitors should have HDMI on.
>>54473591
VGA was and still is popular, but that doesn't mean an obsolete technology should be prolonged. DP succeeds HDMI.
Ignoring that, who in their right mind would want to connect a console to a PC monitor? It wouldn't work well due to the lack of interpolation that a TV has.

I've tried to do something similar (my GPU only has HDMI and dvi output) but I think the source has to be from displayport due to the power requirements of the adapter.

>HDMI is obsolete
wew
you can buy a cable that has both a male displayport & hdmi connector
>>54473625
>>54473591
every prebuilt pc has vga+displayport nowadays
DVI/HDMI are dying
>>54473470
But why ? My VGA (monitor)to HDMI (GPU) works flawlessly.
>>54473439
bceause that adapter pictures ias actually dp to hdmi
not hdmi to dp
yes there's a difference
>>54473625
>DP succeeds HDMI
HDMI is literally better.
Displayport + audio/data
>>54475053
Displayport has audio too, dipshit, don't know about data
HDMI is proprietary and supports shit resolution/refresh rate
In what way is VGA superior to DVI, let's say DVI-I?
>>54475064
HDMI generation for generation supports exactly the same resolution and refresh rates.

1.4 hdmi support 4k at 30fps, DP can do more
>>54475116
HDMI 2.0 supports 4k @ 60hz.
>>54475116
HDMI 2.0 = DP 1.4, nigger.
HDMI is soon going to support 4K @ 120

turn off hdcp... i know playstation 4 has the option in settings somewhere...
Can we all agree that HDMI is the worst connector and standard ever?
seriously, fuck HDMI.
>connector is large enough to still be considered large, yet small enough, to be a flimsy pain in the ass
>if you think you'll get a usefull picture when connecting your PC to your TV via HDMI, think again
>DRM bullshit
>Every godamn laptop has that shitty port, yet I never have encountered a monitor or projector that wants it as input

I can agree with you about the DRM bullshit, but the problem you mention with TV's, monitors and projectors are entirely reliant on those devices being developed by competent engineers catering to your needs, not the standard itself.
>>54473439
i've had the same adapter and I had to rewire additional 5v from usb to it, because console hdmi port was giving it only 2,6V for some reason
When I connected it to my gpu, it was getting 5,2 and worked correctly
>>54475498
try hdmi to dvi cables or adapters, they work in both directions
>>54473470
This anon is right. You need an active adapter. Otherwise it won't work. Ofc the active adapter is more expensive. Thanks to Apple faggots who came up with DP idea.
>>54473439
your pic related is for dp out to hdmi out, not hte other way around. thats a different adapter
>>54473483
PS4s are good Netflix boxes, and you can also play some ps exclusive games.
>>54473470
But that's bullshit. Stop spreading misinformation based on your hunches.
DP to HDMI works (sound+image)
HDMI to DP works (same)
You can encounter problems with adapters.
I have two different adapters both HDMI to DP, one is just like OP's.
And here the catch :
-the long one refuses to work on anything but Windows (Debian gives no signal)
-the short one works on both platforms.
morale of the story get a new adapter.
>>54475701
forgot pic
>>54475709
btw I bought both $3 each iirc
>>54475029
Because HDCP.
If the link isn't HDCP protected then it will work, but the PS4 will use HDCP so a cheap little converter cable/box won't do shit.
>>54475498
I really don't miss analog component connectors.
>if you think you'll get a usefull picture when connecting your PC to your TV via HDMI, think again
This depends on the TV, really. A decent one should have a PC setting that will unfuck itself.
