I'm looking to buy a external monitor to run with my 17" Macbook Pro.

Macbook details:

MacBook Pro (17-inch, Mid 2009)

Processor: 2,8 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo

Memory 4 GB 1067 MHz DDR3

Graphics NVIDIA GeForce 9600M GT 512 MB

Built in display: 17-inch 1920x1200

IOS 10.11.1

I'd use a Mini Display port to HDMI Adapter.

What's the maximum resolution supported by my Macbook for an external display?

What's a good external Monitor to run with my 17" Macbook Pro?

Thanks for the help!

Sebastian

A:

"up to 2560 by 1600 pixels on an external display"

HDMI may not run at that resolution. See if you can find a display with DisplayPort or Mini DisplayPort.
