Hi all hope everyone is well
Quick questions
Has anyone here had success with using the Librem 5 & a monitor they bought directly from Purism?
If yes to question 1, what type / make of monitor comes from Purism?
3 ) Has anyone had any success using a monitor not purchased from Purism with the Librem 5?
Lastly, Evergreen for Christmas maybe?
Christmas & L5 would be great
Thanks in advance

Iām not sure if displays were shipped with the early batches. However, I do know for certain that other developers on the team have successfully displayed stuff on external displays with the L5.

Thanks dcz thats great news.
What I really need to know, is what types / makes of monitors will work with the L5?
And what equipment is needed to connect the L5 to a monitor?

It depends on the type of port your monitor has. You need a USB-C to HDMI adapter cable, USB-C to DisplayPort cable or USB-C to USB-C cable. (Iām not sure if anyone has tested USB-C to VGA or DVI so far, but that probably works as well.)
