display - Monitor for XPS 15



I have a Dell XPS 15, and I want to buy a monitor so that I can have two monitors to work with.




However, I see that there is an HDMI output which I cannot use with Ubuntu (https://askubuntu.com/questions/61144/how-do-i-get-hdmi-output-working-on-a-dell-xps-15-l502x), and my alternative is the Minidisplay Port. I am confused because mainly all monitors have VGA. What would be a good solution that would give me a good image quality? Which kind of monitor/cable I am looking for?


Answer



Think of a DisplayPort/MiniDisplayPort as a wild card; with an adapter it can be VGA, DVI, HDMI or DP. The quality of the adapter can affect the signal, but for the most part, just pick one that has good reviews. You should not see any issues with using the MiniDisplayPort to VGA adapter.
