A:Answer I don't have a direct answer. A recent experience left me with more troubling results. Regardless of age or cost, some laptops have a shared architecture that means, USB, audio, video are all shared on the buss. For a normal person, this is fine and goes unnoticed. When you want to expand your viewing area, take note, if your MAX resolution is stated, this can be the maximum resolution your PC is capable of, regardless of adapters or converters. IE - your PC has a max resolution capable of 2560x1440, this is the most pixels that can be displayed, on a single screen, or split between 2 or even 3 screens. So, you may want to do some reading before you make a purchase.
