I have a Asus laptop, with a HDMI and VGA display port & also a USB 3.0 port. So what would be the best way to add another 2 1080p monitors to my laptop?

QUOTE(Enigmatic @ Mar 26 2014, 01:56 PM) And why is it a waste? VGA interfaces are perfectly capable of 1080p. Capable, yes quite true - but is it the best choice? No, I do not think so. QUOTE Why Digital Is Better The basic difference between VGA and HDMI technology, is that VGA is an analog technology and HDMI is digital. Analog signals are like a series of waves, while digital signals are essentially a series of zeros and ones. When a computer sends video through a VGA cable to an LCD monitor, it converts the computer's digital language to an analog language and then the monitor converts it back to digital again. So there should be no surprise that there is some degradation when the signal is being translated twice. In addition to this, analog cables can add distortion to the signal, if they are too long or improperly shielded. - http://techchannel.radioshack.com/noticeab...-hdmi-2174.html |

QUOTE(ragecat @ Mar 26 2014, 03:15 PM) What is the purpose of you getting 2 monitors anyway? if its not for gaming, you can still get the 2 monitors and get a fairly cheap desktop for running 2/3 monitors. if you're not willing to change the laptop, the best choice available is the vga and hdmi port. QUOTE What is the purpose of you getting 2 monitors anyway? To annswer your question:- 1. To increased productivity. 2. To be able to use multiple programs simultaneously. 3. So that I can keep my Email (outlook) up on one screen. 4. To be able to Skype while still having access to other programs or data. 5. Also for easier comparison, with browser to browser, excel and word. QUOTE If its not for gaming, you can still get the 2 monitors and get a fairly cheap desktop for running 2/3 monitors. Well bro, I don’t need a desktop, I have a perfectly functioning laptop, and also if I may add – a perfectly functioning HDMI display port. The one thing, that is confusing me, is that I only have one available HDMI display port, which is exactly right beside my VGA display port. Problem here is, if the VGA cable is plugged in, the HDMI would not be able to fit into the HDMI display port because it’s blocked by the VGA cable head. I think I’m just going to use the HDMI display port to connect it to one monitor, and with a USB 3.0 to HDMI to another monitor. Well both are 1080p. |
