Bought an HMDI to DisplayPort cable but a bit surprised that the monitor's not seeing my Studio.
Looking at the tech specs for the Mac Studio, it seems that DisplayPort is only via USB-C?
HDMI is only listed for HMDI <-> HDMI? If so, seems odd, considering that they may adapters.
Mac Studio, macOS 12.3
There are Many adapters for HDMI and for DisplayPort on the market.
The ones that always work convert a computer's DisplayPort signal port to a displays's HDMI port.
The others are hit-or-miss as to whether they really can work at all the other direction.
HDMI has limited bandwidth compared to DisplayPort, and uses a smaller number of data pathways in its cables at higher Voltage. Aall of those combine to work against HDMI as a high-end interface, and converting from HDMI at the computer end is difficult.

Thanks for all that... just took another look at the cable I got, didn't notice before that it was unidirectional (DP => HDMI). Just ordered a bi-directional so hopefully that'll work better.
HDMI to DisplayPort - Not Supported? HDMI Only To HDMI?
