MacBook Pro - best way to hook up high resolution external monitors.

[Alan S]

I'm about to get a 15" MacBook Pro laptop (without GeForce video card) and want to know the least expensive way way to maxumize size and number of the external screens I can run with this.

Simply stated, "Max number of pixels possible for the least about of money" on the external displays linked to this laptop.

Currently I have a Samsung S27A850D - 27 inch 2560x1440 monitor that I link with my MacBookAir with a dual USB - miniDisplay Port adapter. What adapter can I use for the MacBook Pro. Can an HDMI adapter get the Samsung running at it's max resolution?


Longer-term what I people recommendations about getting the max screen real estate? Can you daisy chain a bunch or 1080p monitors (many cheap monitors) , or fewer more expensice 4K monitors?

By far your best option is mini-DisplayPort on the macbook to DisplayPort on the Monitor

Thanks.

Do anyone hook-up 4K or other non-Apple large pixel displays to MacBook Pros?
