Howard-
Yes really, i've been really struggling to find a 27" screen in stock for my budget. All the main retailers have been wiped out of screens and cable accessories.
Thankfully someone has sent me a link to an Ebuyer deal so i've just ordered a HDMI screen. Which is probably a good thing as i think i'm right in saying a dataport will only work as an output.
As you were.

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.
