new screen for desktop/opensuse

English Hardware
1

Hi!
I need to buy new screen for my desktop pc.(My OS is OpenSuse 13.2). And here is my options for new screen:

  1. BenQ BL2710PT 27”/4ms
    2.Dell U2715H UltraSharp 27" / 6ms
    3.AOCq2770Pqu 27" 2560x1440 / 6ms

All screens have supported driver for windows and mac. BenQ is my top #1 because I make my work with Blender and Gimp. And colors are really great and other properties too like cables and usb 3.0 connections.
I also have asked supported operating systems from BenQ support, but they say only: look at website.

But questions is: Can I use any of those screens with OpenSuse linux? Do I need somehow compile those drivers to OpenSuse? Does anybody use those screens? If so can you tell me how they work with opensuse?
So I really appreciate your help/experience to buy correct pc screen.

Best Regards megabyte :frowning:

I always had the idea that it is the graphics card and not the screen that decides which graphical driver (Nvidia, etc.) to use. Am I wrong here?

No it is the graphics card that determines controls the graphics. The monitor is more or less a dumb machine and should not require any “drivers” In any case I have never heard of the requirement

Well my old screen is samsung syncmaster XL2370 and there is windows driver (for win 7). But it works with opensuse very fine.

Again, it is the graphics card that matters and not the screen. Regardless of what Microsoft may make you believe.

Thank you for your answerrotfl! and Microsoft is what it is. Thats why i deleted permanently my windows 7 os. It was always customers fault:“You did not install correct drivers” etc etc. And very painful install system. I installed my opensuse less than 50 minutes :stuck_out_tongue:
