External Touch Screen for Surface

[JasGot]

@Ambarishrh just posted another question that got me thinking about how external displays are handled as far as GPU efforts.

I have a client that wants to add a 27" Touch screen to his Surface. I told him it may not have enough processing power to handle that size display.

Are HDMI and DP similar to VGA in that they require more horse power for higher resolution?

Also, would a surface docking station offload any resource requirements of a larger monitor?

Thanks.

@jasgot it’s less about the physical size of the monitors and more the resolution of the monitor.

Our Surface Pro 6 drives a 27” 1920x1080 display no problems.

If you need/want 4K, the specs should tell you if they are supported.
