HP ZR22w Monitor

Hello all, is there a way to connect a ZR22w Monitor to a notebook with HDMI port , knowing the monitor does not have an HDMI port?

Hi:

According to the monitor specs below, it has display port and DVI inputs.

You can either use a HDMI to DVI cable or a HDMI to display port cable to connect your notebook to the monitor.

HDMI to DVI cable:

HDMI to Display Port cable:

Hello Paul,

Thanks for the answer and the links.

However looking at the spec of display port to HDMI it seems that it does work only from Laptop ( with display port ) to Screen (with HDMI) as it is unidirectional, and the zr22w has no HDMI socket ??

Am I right or did I understood wrongly ?

Looking at the DVI to HDMI solution, it is bi-directional so it should work, but not for the audio capability ?  right ?

You're very welcome.

The HDMI to display port will send the laptop's image to the monitor, not the other way around.

In some instances, a HDMI to display port cable will carry audio as well as video.

That depends on the DP version your monitor has, and if it has a speaker system.

Unfortunately, I don't know much about those things.

You are correct regarding HDMI to DVI...video but no audio.
