Issue with HD Monitor on dv7

I have the quad edition dv7 (dv7-6100) with ATI 6770m. I just recently purchased the HP Elite L2201x 22in HD monitor as well.

The monitor comes as a displayport style, and since the dv7/vid card I have only has HDMI and VGA, I also purchase a displayport-male to hdmi-male cable.

I have done all updates on HPs as well as ATI's site for my laptop itself, and the video card. I installed the 2201x driver from HP, it "installs" tells me to connect and reboot. I reboot and the HD Monitor still just sits there black like it's not being detected...

Has anyone had this issue, or familiar with issues with HD monitors and this particular setup? The monitor was an expensive buy to realize it won't work..

Did you ever figure out how to make it work? I have the same issue, and my search of the internet has turned up very little. Calling HP support usually results in endless loops or hangups. Very frustrating.

I dont believe you can convert an dp input on a monitor to anything else without an active converter. you can only do that between DVI and HDMI since its the same wiring scheme and same basic signal.
