Question about Dell UltraSharp U2720Q
Hello I am very interested in the U2720Q 4K monitor from Dell. On the one hand, I would like to connect the monitor to my Windows notebook HP EliteBook 840 G6 and, on the other hand, use it as a second monitor on my iMac 27" Late 2013. Now I have the following questions: - My iMac only has a Thunderbolt 2 port. Can I connect the monitor to the iMac using an adapter (USB-C to Thunderbolt 2 or other solutions)? - Will my older iMac be powerful enough to run the monitor at full 4K resolution? - The monitor does not have daisy chain functionality. Can I still connect another U2720Q to my EliteBook later and thus run two external monitors in parallel and how would this be done connection-wise? - Does a parallel connection of the monitor(s) work simultaneously on the Windows notebook and the iMac? I.e. are there enough connections to run it on both at the same time? I assume that a simple switch between the two sources will be possible or that a parallel picture-in-picture function will work. Am I right about this? Thanks for your answers. David
On the last question:
"- Does a parallel connection of the monitor(s) work simultaneously on the Windows notebook and the iMac? I.e. are there enough connections to run it on both at the same time? I assume that a simple switch between the two sources will be possible or that a parallel picture-in-picture function will work. Am I right about that?"
Note that the monitor only has one upstream USB-C port (for the USB hub). I also thought I could hook up multiple computers, but now I always have to reconnect. I find that a bit of a shame.
