    I have a LG Philips Unknown Model LGD043D, Manuf Name 156WHU, Dell P/N MN3MC

    I can't find any help on google!? Cna anyone advise for me?

    Hah...so did I!

    I've done the same. Went for something like this many months ago and it works perfectly.Only dsrawback is the always on RED LED: http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/New-2ND-...905242?hash=item2813cd2c9a:g:DCYAAOSwu1VW44AV

    ------------

    My only intention to change cards, to be honest, is to get 2 x 28" UHD 4K monitors, both running flawlessly at 60Hz /fps. The K2100M only supports 1 x 4K external at 60fps, as confirmed by DELL support:

    http://www.dell.com/support/article...ay-configuration-for-dual-4k-displays?lang=EN

    Considering I'm using the M4800, can anyone provide any commentary of assistance on how I can best achieve this with 2 x DP1.2 cables into the back of my PR02X dock? I'm wide open to options, disassembly and installation is easy, I'm more worried about driver/system stability first and foremost.

    I guess it'd be better to sell 7520 back with his current card pulled from M4800 ;)

    @cmexonat Will the M2000M card support dual 4K monitor resolutions at 60fps?

    Only interested in the graphics upgrade myself if i can use 2 x DP 1.2 cables to 2 monitors outputting to 4K60, i can't seem to find any confirmation of this from the cards mentioned that are compatable inside the M4800...

    Seems as though no one checks this thread...literally...unless they're mentioned/tagged, so I'll try that:

    @SengXun What did you end up doing?

    @AntiNSA With the M2000M are you able to see if dual 4K 60fps is possible? Thank you.

    @Ravenik What are you going to do with your M4800?

    @Aaron44126 Do you have any interest or intention to run dual 4K 60fps? This is my goal and I need to know if a compatable card, like M2000M or M5000M is going to help me achieve this, or if its a limitation of the connection to the GPU.

    I'm running dual 4K at 60Hz on a M1000M (on my 7510). M2000M should be able to handle it. You'll have to use an ePort dock, 2x DisplayPort is the only connection that will work for this.

    If M1000M can, woulddn't a newer/better model naturally handle it? I am using my dock with 2 x DP's currently, just want to make sure the upgrade is worthwhile. Any PWM flicker issues or lag on your 4K screens? Are they IPS LED?

    The displays are the Dell P2715Q (27" 4K display). I don't have any issues with them, but I'm a developer and I don't do any media/photos/video work. I got them for the screen real estate :)
