so i want a new monitor which i would use with 3 computers: my personal laptop, my work laptop, and my old desktop (which i want to replace at some point)
the one i'm considering has 1x hdmi and 1x displayport, the laptops would use hdmi as they only support dp over usbc and i want to keep those ports free
ideally this would mean the desktop stays connected to the other port but it doesn't HAVE dp so i'm now considering buying a new graphics card for a machine i'm trying to retire 
@lion arent there hdmi to dp adapters
@miunau yeah but not passive ones, they need usb power & if i need to buy something anyway i'd kinda prefer to buy something that goes inside the case rather than adding even more cables and dongles into the already messy situation back there
@lion @miunau passive conversion *does* exist, if the thing outputting the signal supports it; do you know if yours does? https://www.dell.com/support/kbdoc/en-ca/000125170/hdmi-to-displayport-dp-conversion-information
@RavenWorks @miunau as far as i can tell that's only possible in the other direction, DP output to HDMI input
@lion @miunau ahh shoot, i lost track of that. ah well!
