MBP 2011 and screen resolution of 3440x1440.
Hello!
I am planning to buy a new monitor for my mac which has a resolution of 3440x1440. Apple says that my Mac supports a maximum resolution of 2560x1600, however multiple users have reported that the monitor will work with my Mac. Does anyone have similar specs to mine and are able to run this monitor at full resolution? Link to monitor: AOC_3440x1440
Would setting my Mac in clamshell mode and reducing the amount of Hz make me able to run this monitor?
I will use this monitor mainly for working in pages and keynote and reading articles on the web. For games and graphic intensive games I will lower the resolution.
Will the AOC monitor work, or am I better off buying a monitor with a resolution of 2560x1440?
