| Post subject: | Accell DisplayPort --> HDMI Adapter not Working |
Hey guys, I just went to my local Fry's Electronics store, and bought an "Accell UltraAV" DisplayPort --> HDMI adapter to use with my Eyefinity setup. I have (3) Acer P235hdmi LCD panels, and a XFX Radeon 5850 (2x DL-DVI, 1x HDMI, 1x DisplayPort). I have one monitor plugged into a DVI port, another via HDMI, and the 3rd via the DisplayPort --> HDMI adapter. This should be using the two TDMS and the DisplayPort, right? Well, when I go into the Catalyst Control Center, and the 3rd display shows as a DVI display when I hover over it! If I try to extend my display with that monitor, I get a message saying "To extend the desktop, a desktop or display must be disabled." This is the message I'd expect to receive if I had 2x DVI and 1x HDMI ports used, but that isn't the configuration I'm using! The Accell adapter is an active adapter, not a passive adapter. According to the product packaging: "Active Technology - converts DisplayPort to HDMI for clear audio & video" also: "The circuitry built-into the adapter seamlessly converts the DisplayPort's A/V signal into an HDMI A/V signal and requires no external power." http://www.frys.com/product/6191879?site=sr:SEARCH:MAIN_RSLT_PG Vitals [list] [*]Accell B086B-001B DisplayPort --> HDMI adapter[/*:m] [*]XFX Radeon 5850[/*:m] [*](3) Acer P235hdmi 1080p LCDs[/*:m] [*]Catalyst 10.8 drivers[/*:m] [*]Windows 7 64-bit[/*:m][/list:u] Any ideas what's wrong with this configuration? Cheers |

Passive only thing it really can be. You must have read the posts on here reference to 'active' adaptors that require an external power. again its passive! |

That is not an Active adapter. Definitely passive as stated above. |
