Dual Display options for Optiplex 3020m & 9020m (Micro PCs)
I am designing an order for a customer who is interested in dual display with the new Dell Optiplex Micro PCs. I am trying to determine what all options exist for a dual-display setup, as well as some finer details surrounding the various options.
My questions are as follows:
- Does the Opt 3020m allow the DisplayPort & VGA output to be used simultaneously?
- If so, is this recommended?
- What is the max resolution supported by the DisplayPort & VGA outputs on the Opt 3020m?
- Is the DisplayPort connection on the Opt 3020 capable of a "daisy chain" DisplayPort setup (i.e. DisplayPort 1.2 or newer)?
- If so, is this recommended?
- If so, are there specific Dell monitors that are known to work flawlessly with this configuration? (I know DisplayPort 1.2 daisy-chaining has been problematic with some chipset/monitor combinations, even though they all adhere to the DisplayPort 1.2 standard).
- For the Opt 9020m, I'd like all of the same questions answered above that I've asked regarding the Opt 3020m.
- The Opt 9020m sales materials and product manual both refer to an optional DisplayPort connector board which adds a second DisplayPort to the computer.
- Is this part currently available to purchase?
- Is this DisplayPort connector board a recommended approach for dual-displays? (I'm slightly leery as as type of adapter board does not seem to be common in the industry (to my knowledge).
- Would it be superior to any alternative configurations?
- Is there anything else about the Opt 9020m that would make it superior to the 3020m for a dual-display setup?
Having asked all of the above, I am ultimately needing to evaluate the options for a dual display setup with either the Optiplex 3020m or 9020m.
I am on a time-crunch with this product and am hopeful that someone from Dell can quickly answer the above questions.
Thank you for your help & time.
Sincerely,
-
Doug Mortensen
