I have this one manager who is usually pretty on top of technical things. But, somewhere, somehow, she got the idea that our high-resolution monitors have the video card "inside them" (that is, inside the monitor).
I think I understand where she went off track... somebody must have told her how these dual monitors ship as a package with the video card they are QC-tested with at the factory; the two monitors and the dual video card are a set, they go together.
I've explained this, but she always reverts to the old idea that the video card is "inside" some of our monitors. While working out a quote on some new hardware, we planned to order a new workstation and re-deploy some of our old monitors. In this case, off-the-shelf Dells, not the high-res ones. She asked the vendor "Do we need a video card?" as if she thought the Dell monitors might have a video card "inside" them.
