Question Best way to connect a HDMI monitor to a DP output?

[tom2u]

I've got an old motherboard with built on video with DP and VGA outputs. My 27" 1920 x 1080 monitor just has HDMI input. So I could use
1: DP to HDMI cable (seems to be the most expensive because its the least popular configuration)
2: DP to HDMI adapter and HDMI to HDMI cable.
3: DP to DVI adapter and DVI to HDMI cable (already have the DVI TO HDMI cable but its too short).

Is it ever a problem going from DP to DVI to HDMI?
Are there different types of DP to HDMI adapters? Should I be worried about compatibility? I thought I read something about this before in an article cautioning about cheap adapters yet some people seem to use them with good results. Not sure if it makes a difference if the output is coming from a video card or motherboard. I'm using an old Intel 1155 based Lenovo IS6SM motherboard with DDR3 ram and a i5 2400 CPU.

All 3 are equivalent, use whichever is convenient. Adapter dongles are preferred over adapter cables because you can attach a different length cable in the future if your setup changes.

Are there different types of DP to HDMI adapters?

Yes, see here: https://linustechtips.com/main/topi...play-cables-adapters-v2/?output=DP&input=HDMI

Should I be worried about compatibility?

No, the only difference is limited capability between different adapters.

So you don't think there are any problems going from DP to DVI to HDMI?

No, that should work fine.
