Optiplex 3090 Ultra Display Problem

Just received a Dell Optiplex 3090 Ultra. I assumed I could get video over USB C cable. Apparently not true.

So the problem is the Optiplex has a Display Port but the Dell monitor I purchased has an HDMI port. How do I reconcile this issue?

Thank You.

3090 ultra has 

  • One DisplayPort 1.4 ++ HBR2 support over rear standard DP port

The Dual-Mode DisplayPort™ or DisplayPort™++, shortened DP++, enables compatibility to DVI and HDMI. So the connection via relatively economy-priced adapters is provided.  you just need a simple passive DP to hdmi adapter to connect 3090 Ultra to hdmi monitor.

Thanks for the link.

According to the description of the monitor I purchased "The single-cable USB-C solution combines 65W power delivery with video, audio and data transmission in one cable ..."

Do you know why this would not be true?

Guess I'm a bit confused. I had only the USB-C cable connected from the 3090 Ultra port to the USB-C port on the Dell monitor; no other cable was connected.
