Can anyone recommend a DVI-D dual link to HDMI or DP cable that actually works with a Hazro 27" 1440p monitor?

I have bought a few cheap non branded ones but non worked they just gave a messed up signal to the monitor.

I have had problems in the past even with DVI-D dual-link cables...only got one that works properly with the monitor.

Just to be clear its HDMI at graphic card end and DVI-D dual at the monitor end.

Thanks :)
 
The specs for that say only up to 1920x1200 though?

But if it works it works :)

Will see if I can find one somewhere :)


Thanks :)

Any other suggestions still welcome :)

£3 for an active HDMI (or DP) to Dual DVI adapter seems unlikely.

Agreed...they are expensive...some cheaper ones for around £30 but can be hit or miss if they work it seems.

Shame to have to sideline the Hazro even though its 9 years old now.

I use a 'BizLink' brand one and it works just fine, so if you've got a spare DP port that may be an option.

Is that with 1440p resolution?

@postmanfw DVI - Display Port adapter would work? See link below:

Looks like it should yes...have already ordered a non branded one same design as that for the same price elsewhere but still not arrived yet....dubious that it will work so if it doesn't I will definitely be buying the akasa one.


Now got the upgrade bug for a new 144Hz (+) monitor...must resist...so many to choose from.....from 24" @240Hz to 32" curved @144Hz with even a 27" 1440p @170Hz in between....But that for another thread :)

Retail therapy is expensive lol :)

Thanks for the help...should have asked here first before wasting money on various HDMI adapters that don't exist unless silly money...active display port adapter def the way to go.

oh well...another £15 wasted....adapter arrived and it doesn't work...its a "Newlink" branded one...looks identical to your one...screen blinks briefly....dropping the resolution down to 1080p makes no difference either....tried other cables too just in case.

Works fine with my olde Samsung monitor from 15 years ago...24" 1080p@60Hz so at least it won't go to waste as I can use it for that as its VGA and DVI only inputs.



Could you test one before I buy...since you have the Hazro monitor too...27" 1440p DVI-D Dual link input only?

The model number of mine Is HZ27WC

Bought mine from ocuk when they first appeared about 9 years ago..great monitor ...

Happy to buy the adapter from you but only if you can guarantee it will work with 2550x1440 at 60Hz like its meant to?

Thanks :)
 
Was ordering a new sound card so decided to just order one to see if it works :)

If it doesn't then it's the star tech active usb powered one at about £120 or a new monitor....will report back :)
