Ensure you have the connectivity you need between devices and screens that wouldn’t normally be compatible by shopping for HDMI adapters at Staples.
What Is an HDMI Adapter?
HDMI stands for High-Definition Multimedia Interface and is the connection standard for transferring high definition audio and video across devices. Unlike other types of connections, HDMI doesn’t need separate cables for audio and video.
An HDMI adapter is used to transfer video and audio data to one or more other devices that might not have an external display port, typically a monitor or television screen. Using an adapter for HDMI, you can stream or mirror content onto other screens. Most adapters will be compatible with 4K and 1080p video, allowing for the best definition possible.
Typically this product is used to connect two devices by plugging one type of cable into the other. For example, if you want to plug your television into your laptop with an HDMI port, but your television only has ports for coaxial cables, you can use a cable adapter to convert the HDMI signal to a coaxial signal and connect the devices.
What Devices Use an Adapter for HDMI?
A variety of devices include HDMI ports that can be used to transfer information from one device to another. Although the ports may vary by brand, generally some items that include HDMI ports are:
- Televisions
- Computer monitors
- Projectors, such as home theater projectors
- DVD or Blu-ray players
- Cable and satellite boxes
- Gaming consoles
- Computers, laptops and notebook computers
What Types of HDMI Adapters Are Available?
Staples offers a wide selection of HDMI adapters for users to choose from in order to find the best product suited to their device. Before you buy, consider the following about what products you’re hoping to connect in order to determine what adapters to HDMI you need.
Connection Type
This is key to making sure your connection works well with an HDMI adapter. Inspect your devices to see which ports you need to connect. You can buy an HDMI adapter for a variety of ports, including VGA, DisplayPort, USB and USB-C, DVI-D and more.
Cable Type
If the devices you want to connect are positioned far away from each other, such as a laptop being used to connect a projector or a television screen, consider a longer cable in order to provide enough slack to avoid putting stress on the connectors.
If the adapter will be used regularly or rarely moved, consider a short cable in order to limit messy cable situations. For tight corners, right angle HDMI adapters are available to help you set up your devices just the way you want.
