Manufacturer description

The Moread DisplayPort to DVI Adapter solves a specific problem: your desktop or laptop has a DisplayPort output, and your monitor, projector, or HDTV only takes DVI. This male-to-female dongle bridges the two, carrying video up to 1920x1080 at 60Hz (1080p Full HD) or 1920x1200, and PC graphics resolutions up to 2048x1152 at 60Hz. The DisplayPort connector is gold plated to resist corrosion and abrasion, and molded strain relief protects the housing where cables flex most. The DisplayPort end uses a latching connector with a release button, so a nudged cable does not drop your second screen…

SpecPicks Verdict

SpecPicks scored Moread DisplayPort to DVI Adapter using a rating × review-volume × price-fit model applied to published specs and reviews across the storage adapters category. Moread's storage adapters lineup sits within the broader category mid-tier; price and specs are the deciding factors over brand loyalty here. Judge it on the specification table and the price rather than on sentiment: check the figures that decide your use case, then put it side-by-side with two or three close alternatives in the Compare tool before clicking through.

Common buyer scenarios for storage adapters of this kind: matching it to an existing build, replacing a failing part, or upgrading from a previous-generation equivalent. Check the spec table below against your current setup — particularly socket / form-factor / power-rating fields — and confirm compatibility on the retailer's listing before purchase. Prices and stock are set by the retailer and may have moved since this page was last updated.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will this adapter work in reverse, from a DVI computer to a DisplayPort monitor?

No. Moread specifies this as a one-way converter from a DisplayPort source to a DVI display. It cannot transmit signals from DVI to DisplayPort, so a DVI-output computer will not drive a DP monitor through it.

What is the maximum resolution this DisplayPort to DVI adapter supports?

Video resolutions up to 1920x1080 at 60Hz (1080p Full HD) and 1920x1200, with PC graphics resolutions up to 2048x1152 at 60Hz. It is not rated for 1440p or 4K output.

Do I get a DVI cable in the box?

No. Moread lists the DVI cable as sold separately. The adapter is a DisplayPort male to DVI female dongle, so you supply a DVI male-to-male cable to reach your monitor.

Is it compatible with my Dell, HP, Lenovo, or ASUS laptop?

Yes, provided the machine has a DisplayPort, DisplayPort++, or DP++ output. Moread lists compatibility with DisplayPort-equipped computers, PCs, notebooks, and ultrabooks including HP, Lenovo, Dell, and ASUS.

Can I use it to run dual monitors?

Yes. Set the DVI display to Extend Mode to expand your desktop across both screens, or Mirror Mode to duplicate the primary display for streaming or gaming.
