HP Displayport to iMac mini Displayport

[TheDane]

My employer is giving me a new HP (nope, no macs there ). I am thinking of getting the 12" 2540P Notebook for portability. Question is if I can connect that to my iMac 27" and use the iMac as a monitor?

There is a Displayport on the HP - can a simple cable like this do the job?

I´m in the same situation. How did it work?
