I'm having no luck whatsoever sourcing an HDMI ready monitor
What, really?

and then possibly the cable you're after? (CPC are great):

Sorry, probably a dumbass question but i'm getting nowhere with Google...
I have a 2012 Macbook pro that i need to WFH on, i also have a Thunderbolt to HDMI adaptor that allows me to connect my mac to another screen via an HDMI cable. I'm having no luck whatsoever sourcing an HDMI ready monitor but i have been lended a decent HP monitor that uses an older display port input (no mini display port). Is there any reason i cannot buy an HDMI to display port cable such as the one in the link to connect from my Mac to the monitor?
Alternatively is there such a thing as a Thunderbolt (1 i believe) to Display port adaptor? So far only finding adaptors for Thunderbolt 3's.
My work are asking us to expense new monitors up to £150 so buying a used HDMI screen isn't a good option for me atm.
