DVI-D Single or Dual Link question

[TheSandman2236]

I just ordered two 24" LCD's and both of course will be running at 1920x1200. What sort of cable will I need? I've found a few different answers, so I thought you guys should know. Thanks!

the information on the site isn't completely correct as the resolution examples aren't the max resolution supported..
1920x1200 max (stated 1920x1080) for single-link and 2560x1600 max (stated 2048x1536) for dual-link.
So you'll be fine with a single link cable.

I've been trying to find a HDMI to DVI-D Dual Link cable for awhile now, but have only found HDMI to DVI-D Single Link. The device I'm plugging into is DVI-I Dual Link, so I at least was looking to use a DVI-D Dual Link cable.

You should start a different discussion topic for your question. But i don't know of any hdmi devices that output >1080p, which is what you would need dvi-d dual link for.

With single link, 1920x1200 is only supported on shorter cable lengths. The longer ones are only rated for 1600x1200/1920x1080. No clue on the dual link numbers from that site thougb.
