I’m considering purchasing a laptop with two video out ports. One is HDMI at 60 hertz, the other is MiniDP at 30 hertz. I want to use both ports in a dual monitor setup. Both monitors have a 60 hertz refresh rate.
Besides for normal tasks (e.g. email, Web browsing, video watching), I develop Web applications and do bi-directional video conferencing – I share my screen and they share theirs.
Will there be any problems using a 60 hertz monitor with a 30 hertz output?
I’m thinking I could use the HDMI monitor for applications that push frames at higher rates, and use the 30 hertz output for apps that don’t – like emailing, text-editing, etc.. Does this make sense?
Any help understanding the concerns here would be appreciated.
