The ThinkCentre I have at work has Core i7-8700 & has a 2XDP & VGA.
According to Intel, I can have a triple monitor setup with a DPx2+HDMI/VGA. My 3 monitors don’t have a VGA & I’m wondering if a VGA-HDMI active cable will still allow me to run triple monitor.
In the past, I’ve found that DP to HDMI tends to be much more reliable, as TMDS is so widely supported that it is more or less the defacto standard. Where as flipping between analogue and digital signals can introduce artifacting into the signal.
I decided to go cheap, take a chance on that VGA-HDMI active adapter for $15 CAD. It works. Only weird issue is that the output is shifted to the right, which bothers me slightly, but not enough to stop me from using it.
I might’ve gone with that MST Hub if COVID didn’t force my workplace to reduce my hours.
