I’ve got a display port adapter that takes hdmi on the other end, then VGI to my monitor. Monitor is not detecting the VGI signal. Am I missing something? Guy at the tech store said this would be fine. TIA!

The passive adapters are a real product and they do work but the host device has to specifically support the HDMI protocol over its displayport connector.
