I am the proud new owner of a MacBook Pro with a mini-DisplayPort. My desk setup used to allow me to position the screen of my old MacBook beside an external monitor, essentially allowing dual-head. It was also advantageous that my old MBP and my external monitor had the same resolution, 1440x900.
Now, I'm searching for a set of two monitors that I can use a HengeDock with. Unfortunately, the MacBook Pro suffers from having only one mini-DisplayPort.
Looking up the spec for DisplayPort 1.2 (which the MBP supports), DisplayPort daisy chaining is supported. What I'm looking for is a monitor that has two DisplayPorts so I can daisy chain two monitors off the single mini-DisplayPort.
What I don't want is a USB-based video solution. I need full acceleration on both monitors; an external video card won't cut it. I hope I don't have to wait a few years for these monitors to come out.
TL;DR: I need two monitors with two DisplayPorts each that I can daisy-chain.
Thanks!
Answer
Dell now offers (at least) two monitors with DisplayPort 1.2 ports for daisy-chaining:
Dell UltraSharp u2913WM 29" Ultra-wide monitor
I cannot, however, confirm that they work with the MacBook Pros. If/when these ports start showing up on their lower-end monitors I might take the plunge.
