USB/Video: How to tell if a screen resolution is supported
I'm looking at buying a new monitor, either 3840x1600 or 5120x1440 (not sure yet). I would need a new USB->video adapter to hook up either one of them to my computer. DisplayLink products are prominent.
How can I tell whether an adapter I see for sale would support those resolutions, if the manufacturer hasn't provided a list (which is the normal case)? In particular... I see a mention of an adapter that supports 3840x1920. Is there a good chance that that adapter can also do 3840x1600? |

That link says "The table below documents the maximum supported resolution".
So... with the numbers I gave, I am indeed within the maximum supported resolution (3840x1600 is within 3840x1920.) Does that mean there's a good chance that the adapter/the chipset will indeed work for the monitor in question? I don't want to get something chunky like a 3840x1600 curved screen shipped here unnecessarily... Thanks. Last edited by GPW; 08-28-2019 at 08:35 PM. |
