I am buying a Dell 20 Monitor E2016H Monitor, which comes with a DP cable (I am assuming it is a male end, the monitor's tech specs page does not specify beyond "DP Cable"). My laptop (Dell Inspiron 14 5458, Windows 10) does not have a DP port, but it does have an HDMI port (female). I am having trouble finding an adapter that will allow me to hook up my monitor to my laptop. I have seen DP male to HDMI female adapters on the Dell online shop, Walmart, Amazon, etc, but I am not sure that will work since my computer has an HDMI female port on it. Would I need to buy the DP male to HDMI female adapter and get a separate HDMI male to female adapter? I have not seen any DP female to HDMI male adapters. I do not know anything about DP ports, this is the first time I have heard of them.
