This setup is outstanding for CAD work or graphic design. Just set your computer’s display settings to span displays and instantly double your workspace. I’ve been using a similar setup for years working with Autodesk Inventor and AutoCAD. Once you get used to it you’ll never want to go back to just using a single monitor again … guaranteed! Without doing my homework, it seems like a lot of value for the money.
We have some of these monitors at work, the EliteDisplay is comparable to Dell’s P monitor line, eg. their Professional or Business monitor. Like Dell, they have a lower home line and a higher quality line. They seem to be alright for normal desktop computing, we haven’t had any problems yet.
The dual mount we also have one of, it holds the monitors well but it’s huge and it reminds me of the original Terminators from Terminator 3, Rise of the Machines. You need a lof of desk space.
HDMI = Digital.
Digital = there are tons of adapters out there to convert from the various digital connectors with no loss of signal or quality loss of picture.
HDMI to DVI
HDMI to DP
would be either of the two you would need. $5-10 on Amazon. Go with a full cable instead of an adapter, just one less thing to get in your way and a cleaner install.
They’re cranking them out left and right for cheap TV’s…and since there’s only a few panel makers, it kind of dictated what to cheaply mass produce.
A shame indeed
Hopefully higher resolutions will take off soon with all the 4K wars, and the excellent 1440p as well.
I’m typing this on a 1200 monitor at the moment, which I prefer over all the shiny bright new LED lit 1080p screens in my supply closet. Those extra pixels really make a difference.
My understanding is that DisplayPort is a more complicated standard than HDMI or DVI, so while DP to HDMI is easy, you can’t trivially go the other way. I have never been able to find one in any case. Can you point me to one that doesn’t cost so much I might as well get a different monitor?
