    Hi Richer Sounds. I have just posted the below topic in 'Laptop'. I'd be happy if you could advise if you could provide the same solution. Based in Kilkenny so online probably the best option. 


    I have a Dell XPS 13 Laptop (i7-5600u).


    For work and photo editing reasons I'd like to connect 2 monitors to the laptop. The below link is for something I've seen on Amazon that I think will do this for me. The link below that is a link that Dell Customer Care said would be suitable. 
    https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00JLRBC7S?tag=alphr-21&ascsubtag=6998
    http://accessories.euro.dell.com/sna/productdetail.aspx?c=uk&l=en&s=dhs&cs=ukdhs1&sku=492-BBNU



    Can anyone advise which is the best option? The Dell option seems to be a 'one fits all' option where I would connect one HDMI to the laptop port and one to the attachment. While the Amazon one seems to be the exact attachment required. But Dell have confirmed that their model works.

    Hi Jesper,

    Unfortunately we wouldn't stock anything with mDP compatibility, we would mainly stock equipment for home cinema. In this instance I would suggest going with Dell's recommendations.

    Sorry I couldn't be more help!

    Kind regards

    David

Rich Text Editor. To edit a paragraph's style, hit tab to get to the paragraph menu. From there you will be able to pick one style. Nothing defaults to paragraph. An inline formatting menu will show up when you select text. Hit tab to get into that menu. Some elements, such as rich link embeds, images, loading indicators, and error messages may get inserted into the editor. You may navigate to these using the arrow keys inside of the editor and delete them with the delete or backspace key.
