The Claim

The Cable Matters 102021 DisplayPort to HDMI adapter is not compatible with the PlayStation 5 Pro because the console does not have a DisplayPort output, only HDMI.

Verified by Lenz ·

The Short Version

The Cable Matters 102021 adapter is indeed incompatible with the PS5 Pro, and the stated reason is accurate. Multiple authoritative sources confirm the PS5 Pro outputs video exclusively via HDMI 2.1 with no DisplayPort connector. The Cable Matters 102021 is a unidirectional DisplayPort-to-HDMI adapter that requires a DisplayPort source, which the PS5 Pro cannot provide. Users seeking to connect a PS5 Pro to a DisplayPort monitor would need a separate, opposite-direction HDMI-to-DisplayPort active adapter instead.

Caveats

  • The claim is specific to the Cable Matters 102021 adapter — the PS5 Pro can connect to DisplayPort monitors using a different active HDMI-to-DisplayPort adapter, so DisplayPort connectivity is not categorically impossible.
  • The PS5 Pro also has USB-C ports which may carry video signals in certain configurations, though this is not relevant to the Cable Matters 102021 adapter's use case.
