No consigo que el Macbook Air (2013) y el monitor Dell se conecten por DisplayPort

Puedo conectar el Macbook Air al monitor Dell (P2314H) a través de VGA con un conector mini DisplayPort a VGA. Sin embargo, me gustaría hacerlo funcionar a través de DisplayPort, ya que he leído que la calidad de la imagen será mejor entonces (señal digital).

Cuando me conecto a través de DisplayPort, utilizando un conector mini DisplayPort a DisplayPort, veo que la pantalla del Macbook parpadea, y el monitor Dell también cree que está pasando algo, pero no una señal que pueda entender. Abajo está el registro de la consola de mi ordenador en el momento en que conecto los dos a través de DisplayPort.

EDIT: Veo que el monitor (Dell P2314H) utiliza DisplayPort 1.2a, mientras que el Macbook Air sólo utiliza DisplayPort 1.1. ¿Podría ser esa la causa?
