I am finally fed up with my 16" laptop screen and was going to get either a
24" or preferably a 27" HDMI.
Running Debian Testing
(Most of my time is spent either writing reports / reading on the net /
reading pdfs: no games etc)
In case it helps I have an HDMI port and a VGA port and from
pkg-xorg.alioth.debian.org/howto/use-xrandr.html it appears that I should
be able to run two monitors.
Question
1. In reading it appears that a 4K monitor is ideal: if my graphics card
supports it.
How can I find out what sort of monitor my graphics card can support?
From cost point of view it appears IPS is fine
2. Can I run two monitors at the same time?
Can any one provide any clues / suggestions?
Many thanks
