Common confusion
A DisplayPort-to-HDMI cable only works from computer (DisplayPort) to screen (HDMI), not the other way.
Going from DisplayPort to something else
- HDMI: DisplayPort to HDMI cable (no power needed). Works only from a DisplayPort computer into an HDMI screen.
- VGA: DisplayPort to VGA adapter.
Getting something else into DisplayPort
- Mini DisplayPort: Mini DisplayPort to DisplayPort cable (no power needed).
- USB-C with video: USB-C to DisplayPort cable (no power needed). Your USB-C port must support video.
