My old Samsung 213T monitor is broken again. I fixed this last December doing component level repair, but now it's broke again. I think it's time to retire it for good.
So I'm thinking of getting a new 2nd monitor. I'm looking at a Dell U2525H monitor, with native resolution of 2560x1440.
My question is I have an AMD 6870 card, and I know it can do 2560x1440.
What I'm unsure about is can I run 2 monitors (ACD @ 1920x1200, and the Dell U2515 @ 250x1440) using my 6870 card?
I'm connected to the ACD using a DVI adapter, and previously connected to the 213T with a mini-DP to DVI adapter (1600 x 1200).
Primary use will be for coding, and some photoshop work. Very rarely video editing.
My eyesight has been poor lately so I'm also worried about the 2560x1440 resolution being too small, and I'm also debating if I should just get a 2415 running at 1900x1200 native resolution.
Thoughts?
