Hi all...
First time poster and longtime lurker...did a brief search and couldn't find the info, so I thought I would ask.
Looking at getting a Surface Pro 3 i7 512 GB when they are released, in addition to the Microsoft dock - in order to replace my desktop computer. That is where the question comes in...
I currently have a triple monitor setup with my desktop, and, when moving to the Surface I would wish to keep that. I know that I can add USB to DVI adaptors and whatnot, but would rather keep the USB ports open to avoid having to add a hub. This will be my first foray into the mini displayport for monitors - so...my question is this:
I have found a triple mini displayport to DVI/HDMI/DP (which I would convert to DVI again) online and wanted to know if that would work. The reason I ask is that I have been reading that the SP3 only supports 2 monitors, but then in other areas it states that it spreads out a max resolution.
I have 3 -19 inch Samsung Syncmaster monitors that I love and wish to continue using. They are old enough to not have DP connections (only DVI) so daisy-chaining is out of the questions. My current setup has the resolution at 1440 X 900 - with this information can anyone tell me if I can run the Surface and the 3 additional monitors off of the single MDP in the dock?
Thanks in advance...
