Hey,

Thinking about grinding again after many years away from playing. Dug out my old monitors as I'd rather keep setup costs to a minimum.

I have the following:

2x Monitors https://uk.hardware.info/product/498...cmaster-2343bw

Laptop https://www.notebookcheck.net/Review....108229.0.html **upgrading to SSD for PT4 and general performance

As you can see my laptop doesn't have hdmi or DVI and my monitors are only DVI.

I've failed to find a displayport/thunderbolt to multi DVI so I'm wondering if it would work if I got a displayport splitter and two DP -> DVI cables.

I'm hoping to have both monitors at max res sitting landscaped side by side. I think I can get 16 tables with no overlap that way.

**never used displayport before but reading up I saw that you can daisy chain. Reason for the whole question is that I can't figure out if/how I can have the two externals + laptop monitor.

If the above isn't possible, what would be a comparable monitor to look for? 28" 4k? (if my GPU can even handle 4K)

Cheers for any help

The bigger of the two docking stations for the Z15 has 2x DVI connectors.

HTH.
