Monitors How to connect notebook to a monitor?

[srikat]

Hi guys,

I have bought new Dell XPS 15 notebook and Dell ST2220M monitor.

The notebook only has HDMI 1.4 port.

The monitor doesn't have HDMI. It only has VGA and DVI-D (HDCP).

Can anyone please recommend a cable or converter so I can connect these two?

Thanks in advance.

Do you know where I can buy one?

I searched for "HDMI to DVI converter" at ebay and all the results shows DVI to HDMI converters, not the other way round.

HDMI to DVI converter, Laptops Computer Peripherals, Consumer Electronics items at low prices on eBay India

Just check if any came with your monitor?
On ebay check for a HDMI cable (I think you would need HDMI male cable) and then look for a correspoding DVI converter (female to male / male to female).
