Hi, I need to buy a new monitor. My current set up is an AOC i2367Fm attached via HDMI to a 2014 MacBook Air and works great. But I want to upgrade to a larger screen size, particularly the Dell S2715H. However my brother owns a Samsung 21inch monitor which is a few years old, the main problem is when I connect to it via VGA it really affects the performance, the laptop overheats, the fan kicks in and the battery drains. I want to know whether this will happen to me if I upgrade to the Dell.
