Picture quality of Wireless Display Adapter

[elliexplorer]

I am finally getting a monitor for my SP3 and trying to figure out if I can get away with connecting via a WDA. I will be using Photoshop/Lightroom and will have a nice monitor so I want to maximize the resolution. Is there any difference in a wired and a wireless connection? Thanks!

Depends upon your monitor. You'll get 1920x1080 HD fine, but whether you get a 30Hz or 60Hz refresh rate will depend upon the monitor.

Will have a 3840 x 2160 60 hz monitor. Have a Intel HD Graphics 5000 card.

Anything above FHD on a WiDi you'll drop to 30Hz.

And the WDA is limited to 1080p and can't drive a 4K Monitor....at 4K resolution (so limited to 1080p which may look grainy)

Okay was afraid of that. Thanks for your response!

Exactly what I needed to know! Not getting a nice monitor to look grainy. Thanks for your response!

Correct. Full resolution and refresh rate on a UHD, 4K monitor would require a DisplayPort 1.2 or HDMI 2.0 wired connection.
