I got a monitor with DVI-D and DisplayPort, and I have a a notebook and a graphics card I want to connect to it. The graphics card has DVI-D output, so that's the simple part. But the notebook has HDMI only. How do you connect HDMI to DisplayPort? I only found adapters for the other way round, which are also fairly expensive (i.e. DP->HDMI.) Or should I get a HDMI to DVI and then a DVI-Y-cable to connect everything via DVI?

An HDMI to DVI adapter would be more natural as the two connections carry the same video signals. Don't try to save $2 and get the wrong one. The one I linked to will work for all current HDMI to DVI connections.

Similarly, an HDMI to DVI cable (HDMI on one end, DVI on the other) would also do the trick. – skypecakes May 23 '11 at 19:03
Yup, basically a long adapter :) – typoknig May 24 '11 at 1:07
