HDMI Repeater - one of these is a great choice for monitors, looks like some other good recommendations have been linked by you and others

These wall plates deteriorate the signal in the cables. You can easily run cables through the wall with a simple brush plate. Here is an example Home Depot - Single Gang Brush Plate

yeah, that is a possibility if I can't get a solution

Why not a brush plate? https://www.homedepot.com/p/Commercial-Electric-1-Gang-Brush-Plate-White-5038-WH/207161871

If I can't find a solution, that will be a good alternative

Keystones are what you want. However you won't find a displayport one because they're too big to fit.

Don't look for one that has exactly what you need. Get a plate that has blank cutouts, and then buy the inserts that you want.

that would probably work, what is the plastic connector type called when I search for it?
JerseyWiseguy t1_iy6d5uz wrote
To my knowledge, those wallplates and the plug-ins are usually called "keystone" connectors.
pookshuman OP t1_iy6dwtl wrote
hmm, looks like they make them for all types except displayport :(

I've never had need to use one, but I believe that standard Display Ports are too big for standard Keystones, so people use a Display Port to Mini-Display Port connector. I think this is the correct type:
pookshuman OP t1_iy6k0xz wrote
I think I might be better off just passing the cables through with a brush plate ... all these modules will be super expensive and I don't know if the displayport signal would get messed up by converting to mini
I appreciate the help though!

Check out these guys. You can build your own wall plates with the "keystone" system. https://www.monoprice.com/search/index?keyword=keystone%20wall%20plate
