Component to DisplayPort adapter for monitor with no component input

I haven't been able to find a component to DisplayPort adapter. Best I have been able to find was a component to HDMI or to a VGA adapter at Monoprice.
Their HDMI version had many reports of "crushed blacks" and reduced PQ which is no surprise to me considering the price.

The monitor I'm now using has HDMI, DVI, DisplayPort & VGA. All but the DisplayPort are in use so, logically I would want to use that for the input. The devices that I have, I would prefer to use their component output. All (that I could find) current PC monitors do not have component inputs anymore.

Any ideas? I would like to stay under $100 or so depending on what's available. Surely not too much over that.

Backwards. That's mini DP to component. Two thing wrong. Wrong direction, wrong connector. It's one of those Mac adapters. I don't beleive they aren't bi-directional.

DP to something are a dime a dozen.
