P2412H, cable for connecting to video card mDP port?
Hello!
I got a Dell P2412H and I would like to connect it to the mDP port on a Nvidia P1000 video card. The P2412H only has a DVI-D SL and VGA ports. I believe I need two cables to achieve this?
1. The DVI cable that should have been included in the box wasn't as I bought a refurbished item
2. A mDP to DVI-D SL adapter
Does anybody know the Dell Part numbers for these items?
Help would be appreciated.

@dball79 There are entire mDP to DVI cables, so you don't necessarily have to go with a mDP to DVI adapter plus a DVI cable -- and unless you already have one of those items, a single cable would make more sense. You also don't need Dell-branded versions of these items. If you're in the US, here is an example of a cable that would serve your purpose, made by a vendor (Cable Matters) that has a solid reputation for quality products. I buy a lot of their cables and they've never let me down. If you're not in the US, you should still be able to find this type of item somewhere.
