“Hello, I have a Dell E2423H monitor, and it only has the DisplayPort and VGA ports. My laptop and docking station has an HDMI port. I'm getting the error "No DP signal from your device". Will this cable work? If not, can you recommend a cable that will?”

Hello LunaR! The Insignia™ 6’ DisplayPort to HDMI Cable will not work for your setup because it only supports connections from a DisplayPort source to an HDMI display, not the other way around. For your situation, where you need to connect an HDMI source (your laptop or docking station) to a DisplayPort input (your Dell E2423H monitor), you will need an HDMI to DisplayPort adapter or cable. Here are a couple of options you can consider: 1. HDMI to DisplayPort Adapter: This adapter will allow you to connect your HDMI source to your DisplayPort monitor. Make sure it supports the resolution and refresh rate you need. 2. HDMI to DisplayPort Cable: Similar to the adapter, this cable will directly connect your HDMI source to your DisplayPort monitor. Please ensure that the adapter or cable you choose supports the necessary power and signal conversion, as not all HDMI to DisplayPort cables include the required active conversion. If you have any further questions or need additional assistance, feel free to ask! - Mae | Insignia Support | https://www.bestbuy.com/site/brands/best-buy-brands/pcmcat1596746025285.c?id=pcmcat1596746025285
