USB PORT TO HMDI CABLE

Postby patricia » Mon Nov 13, 2017 5:19 pm

My lovely "new" Dell computer does not have a HMDI port and I purchased a cable and both ends are HMDI so I am using my HP note book to stream the television, however I would like to stream from my computer. I have looked on Amazon and also googled but I cannot see a cable with a USB and a HMSI port.

The cable with the two HMDI really does give good sound and very good picture. Is there a converter I can use. I have looked at quite a few and they all say you cannot use it with an HMDI. :problem:

Something like that yes Tango, although one doesnt seem to have good reviews a lot of one stars, but cannot read them as cannot translate the German, however when needs must. I wonder if there is a cable with a USB port and a HDMI! I did have a cable with a screw in on which fitted my other computer, but the - what ever they are called! :think: and I have two - are different sizes.

All this technology! I cannot keep up with it. :?

I see they have a cable also but do not ship to Spain! I wonder if I could get one here in one of the computer shops!

Again, don't forget that if you find an item on AmazonUK, the same item will likely exist on Amazon DE, FR, ES etc.
Some items listed as "Will not post to Spain" can be ordered from .ES, and come from the same UK supplier!

Try window shopping on the UK site, and then ordering from ES (or even Germany) when delivery charges are often much smaller.

Well that last one sold on the Amazon Spain but is the part you plug into the computer a USB part that I can plug into my computer. I am not really up on these things but if so it look as if that would be the best!

Hi Enrique,

I have checked and it does not seem to have an HDMI port, also reading a few reviews of an adaptor they do not seem to be able to pass on sound! My little note book does and I can adjust the sound from the TV!

What a shame. I did see a cable somewhere which has a USB one end and a HMDI end for the television!

I think a cable may be the best choice if the adaptors do not pass on the sound because the sound is excellent from my note book.

Sorry about below but pressed quote instead of edit :D

Hi quebin, I have looked at those and the USB looks to be a lot smaller then the ones I have. It says it is for Mac so not sure if that would fit my computer.

I have also looked at the others and again the same applies, but thank you for fishing those out for me :thumbup:

I like the look of the cable AmazonBasics - Cable adaptador Mini HDMI a HDMI (estándar 2.0, vídeo 4K a 60 Hz, 2160p y 48 bit/px, compatible con Ethernet, 3D y ARC, 1,8 m) but will it fit my computer! It says mini! I am unsure to be honest if that will suit.

Hi patricia,
I'd say no........if you could POST full model number of your Dell we can at least see what Ports you have.

Thanks

Hi Enrique,

I have a few numbers! 2BRBKNI and then 5064582205. Not sure which is the model number and the name on the front says Optiplex 780. All my memory sticks fit the USB ports even the old ones so those are the ports I have got. But no HMDI :problem:

Hi patricia,
Looking at the rear panel under/along side(depends if you have Mini Tower or Desktop style case) the Parallel Connector port is the Display Port have you got that one :?:

It is a mini tower. Do you mean the two coloured ones where you put in a plug. I use one for my speakers plus a USB!
