Connect second display to Lenovo M700 (DisplayPort to HDMI?)

Question

I have a Lenovo ThinkCenter M700 computer (regular size, not the tiny edition):

• 2 x USB 3.0
• 2 x USB 2.0
• 1 x DisplayPort 1.2
• 1 x VGA (in use by first monitor)

And I have two BenQ GW2282 monitors:

• 2 x HDMI (v1.4)
• 1 x VGA

---

I've connected the first monitor via the supplied VGA cable.

Question:

How can I connect the second monitor to the computer? Do I need an adapter cable to go from the computer's DisplayPort connection to the monitor's HDMI connection?

(The goal would be to use the option that has the best quality image.)

Answer 1

I purchased a DisplayPort to VGA Adapter:

It seems to work ok.

There are also DisplayPort to HDMI cables available on Amazon:

DisplayPort to HDMI HDTV Cable

I haven't test that option though.
