Hello everyone!
I've recently bought a Elgato capture card (http://www.elgato.com/en/gaming/game-capture-hd)! And I need a way to connect the HDMI out to my monitor!
I have the Dell U2212HM monitor (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16824260054)! And while having a DisplayPort, and DVI Port, it's missing and HDMI port!
I didn't really resherch this, and just bought this HDMI to DisplayPort adapter: http://www.sourcingmap.com/displayport-dp-male-to-hdmi-female-mf-adapter-cable-repair-parts-p-454147.html
And didn't work! The monitor didn't even realize there was a DisplayPort cable in it, so it just goes into power saver mode after 5 minutes. I think this is because it's not an active adapter?
Anyhow! What I'm trying to say is this: What is the most easy, and cheapest, way to connect an HDMI cable (from the Elgato) to my monitor (Dell U2212HM)? It would hopefully be outputting to 1080p.
Thank you so much for your help! This site has been really kind and helpful!
