Performance notes
This is a passive DisplayPort adapter with 1 HDMI port listed in the specs. At 0.15 lb and dimensions not specified, it is a compact plug-type adapter. DisplayPort to HDMI conversion at this price point typically supports 1080p without issue, and many passive adapters also handle 4K at 30Hz depending on source and display capabilities.
What buyers say

Frequently asked questions
Will the Dell 470-AANH work with non-Dell computers and monitors?
Many buyers use it with non-Dell hardware successfully, but Dell-branded passive adapters are optimized for Dell chipset and DisplayPort implementations. If you are connecting a non-Dell laptop or desktop, the adapter will work in most cases but compatibility is not guaranteed for every source device. Check the 1-star reviews for specific hardware combinations that caused issues before purchasing.
Does this adapter support 4K resolution?
The spec data does not list a supported resolution. Passive DisplayPort to HDMI adapters generally support up to 4K at 30Hz if the source GPU and DisplayPort version support it. For 4K at 60Hz you typically need an active adapter. If 4K performance is important to your setup, confirm the supported resolution on the product listing before buying.
