I have not experienced any issues with them.

Yes.; that is the maximum resolution for this model.

I might consider "officially supported" NVIDIA, ATI, etc., chips and/or 
USB, Thunderbolt, etc., cables for Windows or macOS.  But for Linux and 
FreeBSD, I have had the best luck over the past 20+ years with Intel 
integrated graphics and VGA, DVI-I, DVI-D, HDMI, and/or DP connectors on 
the motherboard/ laptop.
