DVI-D to DisplayPort 1.2?

[kenw232]

Can anyone recommend a DVI-D to DisplayPort 1.2 adapter? I have a monitor that only has a DVI-D connector on the back, and my laptop has a DisplayPort 1.2 female port.

These are usually pretty well regarded:

Or this one?

There''s so many to choose from

Do you know if these things are cross compatible? My laptop says it has DisplayPort 1.2, but the one adapter there specifically says DisplayPort 1.1a. Does that matter?

it should work, 1.2 is backward compatible with previous versions.
