Hi All,
This may be an easy question for most of you I presume, but I have purchased a new 34" monitor and I'm slightly lost in the tech jungle.
I thought I would just connect the monitor to my macbook via HDMI but turns out the monitor can't show the full resolution of 3440x1440 and a different cable is required. I understand there are different solutions such a displayport adapter or a thunderbolt cable. However I struggle to understand the differences and advantages. The monitor does have Thunderbolt 2 slot and displayport slot.
Could anyone shed some light of what connector would be beneficial ?
Also if I was to connect the monitor to a regular windows notebook, would I face similar issues or will the HDMI cable suffice?
I would really appreciate any help!
Many thanks
