If the computer has a dedicated GPU, the HDMI ports on the motherboard can be disabled. This becomes certain if the connections made from the GPU’s HDMI port work well. In such a case you can make the connections from the GPU’s port. If the port is already occupied you can enable the HDMI port of the motherboard from the BIOS. Thunderbolt ports support DP++ natively. To run multiple monitors from the same computer, see the Active Adapters section below. Once the cleaning is done leave the ports for some time to let the moisture dry out. Then reconnect the computer and the monitor and see if the problem is now solved.The major difference between both HDMI and DisplayPort is their intended use cases, and there are some speed considerations too. HDMI cables are generally intended for use with consumer electronics such as televisions and video game consoles. Active adapters use additional chips to make the conversion inside the adapter, regardless of whether the source supports DP++. This means that active adapters are more expensive than passive adapters. Finance is only available to permanent UK residents aged >18, subject to status, terms and conditions apply.

DisplayPort helps to optimize the refresh rate of many computer monitors, which makes them useful for modern gaming, and so you’ll see DisplayPort connectors on the latest graphics cards for optimal support beyond 4K. If you are looking for a cable, you will want to make sure that you grab one of a decent length. If you are planning on hooking up two devices, then you will need to ensure that there is enough cable to extend between the two. To Conclude When you convert video from a source that uses DisplayPort or Mini DisplayPort to DVI or HDMI (ex: a computer to a monitor). Consider the difference between passive and active adapters.
