Weird. Every monitor should have displayport cable available including other cables you might use with it. Check where you bought it and ask them for it.
Don't know where you're getting prices for a DisplayPort cable, but a quick look at Amazon shows them for around $10, depending on what DP connectors you need (eg, DisplayPort or MiniDisplayPort, etc) and the length.
Its insane what retail stores or even amazon gets for "quality" digital cables (hdmi, dp, ect.)- they either work or not. You can buy them on ebay or smaller sites for 10% the going price and get the same results. I have a pile of brand new hdmi cables just for future use because of a 10 for $25 shipped ebay deal!

Bottom line, shop around!
