Hey all,
I've decided I need an external monitor to be more productive with my work on my 2012 13" MBA. I had a look at a few monitors and thought anything bigger than 23 inches would look kind of ridiculous next to the 13inch screen, and I don't have a huge desk anyway.
I did some research and the Dell U2312HM (link) seems to have pretty good reviews and is a good price @ $189. I believe I'll need a Mini Displayport to Displayport adapter to plug into the thunderbolt port. Only problem is... I use that port to connect to ethernet (via the Apple thunderbolt to ethernet adapter).
So what would people recommend in my situation?
Is there some other way I can connect to this monitor and still plug into ethernet? If not, any other monitor you would recommend?
Lastly, does anyone think Apple will release any new small thunderbolt displays in the near future (27inch seems way too big for my small 13inch MBA and medium sized desk)?
Thanks!
