Does anyone know of cable that works for a display port monitor to hdmi pc

Every one I've seen only works the other way round and and is not bidirectional.

Do I need a active display port adaptor / cable? I remember this sort of issue back in the 2000s times for eyefinity etc

Monitor is a old Dell u27 and pc is an all in one mini pc with hdmi 2.0 Intel n600 spec gpu gemini lake

HDMI to HDMI only gives 1080p instead of 1440p, tried a different set of cables etc...
 
Monitor outputs 1440p via display port only (display port to display port) - (not hdmi)

Pc outputs 4k to TV fine (hdmi)

Its a dell u2711 which is known to have issues displaying 1440p via hdmi

So I need a cable / adaptor that does hdmi (pc) to display port (monitor), ebay only lists the others round not as required
 
cable arrived today, worked perfectly with no issues

carries sound too, £20 but no faffin around with adaptors / extensions etc

i'm sure this will help someone else too

:cool:
