My PC is a hp Prodesk 400 G1. I work from home and currently go dual monitor. I normally work with several open documents/windows. I'm thinking of upgrading to one of the 34" Ultrawide Monitors. Problem is ports aren't compatible, the PC has DVI-D and VGA (doesn't even have an HDMI port). These wide monitors (as far as I can tell) only have HDMI or DisplayPort inputs.
What searching I've done seems to point me in 3 directions if I really want the monitor.
1. Get a new PC (this one is perfect except for the ports)
2. Upgrade this PC with whatever I need so it has that port. I know very little about this hardware/software upgrade and associated costs.
3. Use the DVI - DisplayPort (or HDMI) adapter. (Resolution and would max out at 1920x1080)
Any thoughts here? Is 3 a viable option if I'm not using it for gaming or any thing that requires super duper video resolution? Other suggestions are welcome. I'd like to get rid of the dual monitor thing and have it all on one bigger screen.
