Here is a question about DIGITAL VIDEO
My wife has a monitor with Thunderbolt 3 input *only*. That's the "USB-C shaped" Thunderbolt.
She wants to plug a device with HDMI output into it.
She has, already, a card that can convert Mini Displayport to USB-C. But that means we must convert HDMI to Mini Displayport. We have lots of Mini Displayport to HDMI cables, but not the other way around.
Cheapest HDMI to Mini Displayport cable we're finding is $60.
Is this surprising? How should we do this?
