This DVI to DisplayPort adapter lets you connect a DVI video source, such as your desktop computer, to your DisplayPort (DP) monitor or projector. The DVI to DisplayPort converter is USB powered, giving you the freedom to power it using a USB port on your computer, unlike some converters that require bulky external power adapters. USB powered devices don't require an AC outlet, so you can connect a DVI computer to a DP projector or display where power outlets are limited or inaccessible, such as your boardroom or workstation. The DVI to DP adapter also supports plug-and-play installation, so you won't need to load any drivers or software on your computer. Using the DVI to DisplayPort adapter, you can connect a secondary monitor through a vacant DVI port on your computer. The added screen space makes it easier to multitask, so you can work more efficiently and accomplish more in less time. It's perfect for office use, or wherever you view documents, spreadsheets, or web pages across multiple screens. With support for display resolutions up to 1920x1200 or 1080p, the DVI to DisplayPort adapter lets you take full advantage of the single-link DVI-D capabilities that are built into your computer's graphics card.
