Admittedly, we have a special requirement that the adapter shouldn't enable HDCP if the sink doesn't support HDCP. For whatever reason many of these adapters enable HDCP regardless, making them useless for video conferencing where you are not allowed to share HDCP encrypted video. Besides that issue many also have bad signal integrity or the voltage of the 5V pin is below the allowed minimum voltage. The best is the Club 3D CAC-1504, but that is one that doesn't hook up the CEC pin :-( That's a shame since this one was fully within the HDMI specifications. If you want CEC, then the Samsung EE-PW700 is best. BTW, the Kramer adapter I mentioned below is indeed the ADC-U31C/HF model. There are some more adapters that I can test next week, and I'll see if I can also test a bunch of (mini-)DP to HDMI adapters.
