Hey forum athletes!
Im new to the Apple computer scene (read never owned one until now). I do a great deal of product photography with touch-ups in Photoshop. I decided to buy a new monitor to connect with my Mac Book Pro Retina (13-inch, early 2015 Retina i5). I decided on the ASUS PA 279Q. Here´s the dilemma. The Mac Book consists of usb 3.0, HDMI and Thunderbolt 2.0 ports while the ASUS monitor consists of HDMI, Displayport 1.2 (not mini), Daisy-chain Displayport Output, Dual-link DVI-D.
I obviously want the best possible signal and resolution. So my question is which method I should use? Googling the net the best suggestion is to send the signal using Thunderbolt 2.0 but how do I connect this to the monitor when the monitor only has the "bigger" displayport? I could connect the monitor via the HDMI-ports but does this generate the best signal and resolution?
Thanx!
