Hello everyone. I am trying to set up my wife's new office. I am looking for some cheaper monitors that I can daisy chain with displayport out so I can hook them up to her macbook air. . The cheapest I am finding is the HP Z24nf and Dell u2415. But they are still around the $240 each price range. Finding a comprehensive list monitors that even have a displayport out is difficult. I have just been going to each manufacturer's website. They don't need to be anything special since she will only be using it for office and web browsing. The next best option I have found is a displayport hub but I was hoping to find a couple monitors for ~$150. Thanks for the help!

Why not get monitors with hdmi and use displayport to hdmi adapters?

Because it has one display port... I am also trying to reduce the amount of cords. Thanks for your input though!

1 display port can support 3 hdmi connections

Yeah, like I said a display port hub would be my backup plan. Thanks for confirming!

Get a 5' or however long needed D-Port extension cable, Put the hub mounted behind a monitor or something & Run 3 short HDMI cables to the monitors.

If you are looking I think the display port to display port (not HDMI) was cheaper.


I ended up finding a used dell u2413 for $108 in excellent shape. A pretty great price. Just going to grab a cheaper 24" dell monitor to pair with it.
