multiple monitors - Does the Samsung NP700Z5A feature a Mini DisplayPort?


These are the specifications of the Samsung NP700Z5A:


From these specs, here's a screenshot of one of the port sections:



Does the 'Display Port' in this screenshot correspond to a 'Mini Display Port' as described in this Amazon item?



Answer



Update & Correction:



  • Which port that is depends on the size you get, 14"/15" = 15pin DSUB (pg 28/29); 17" = Mini Display Port (pg 27)

  • Take a look through the Manual for specifics.

  • This is apparently a "DSUB" interface, so you would probably need their cable. I can't link you to which one confidently, since it varies (Start typing VGA in their search box, you will see what I mean).. Maybe it's this one?


Bottom line, I would not buy a computer that is this opaque in what is on it. I wouldn't want to dig through a manual to figure out what a part is, and that part not being an industry standard is unacceptable to me. At least with Apple, you know that a "thunderbolt" port is a miniDP at heart and works with those.
