Cable Tools
Two interactive tools to help you pick and validate a video connection: the Cable Selector Guide
finds the right cable or adapter for two devices, and the Video Bandwidth Calculator checks whether a
given HDMI or DisplayPort version (and cable) can carry the resolution and refresh rate you want.
Cable Selector Guide
Choose your source device and your display, and the guide shows the recommended cable, adapter,
or converter — with caveats like audio not crossing DVI.
Open the Guide
Video Bandwidth Calculator
Enter a resolution, refresh rate, and color depth to estimate the required data rate and see
which HDMI/DisplayPort versions and cables support it, with or without DSC.
Open the Calculator
Also useful: the Connector Compatibility Matrix
for an at-a-glance grid of what connects to what, and the
Troubleshooting guide when a
connection isn't working.
