I needed another monitor anyway, and it came with an hdmi input. So I'm using a plain hdmi both ends cable. One thing I've been cautioned about is there are lots of this type of adapters that aren't 2-way, so an EDID query is not replied to. This makes getting x started in the proper scan rates the subject of writing your own xinit stuff. I am using on the rock64, a similar but all in the plug adaptor. It works at the monitors native scan rate when jessie is booted, but not in stretch, so the pix is just a hair fuzzy in stretch due to the pixel size miss-match. That particular monitor is not a 1080P but a 1366x768, a bit of an oddball, ultra cheap AOC from Wallies. I use both inputs on it, with a dell I use for mesaflashing on the other input. That links to 2 versions that look alike, but the bottom one says hdmi-1.4. I think I'd gamble on the bottom one since they are both the same cost. -- Cheers, Gene Heskett -- "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
