is the dvi cable needed to hook the computer up to the westy the same as a regular dvi cable like the one that came with my dell 2407? Or is it some other kind of dvi cable that I'll need?

If this pic is true.. then in fact Westy does use Dual link! just not the analog versions.https://webspace.utexas.edu/johnnyn/dvi/all-DVI-types.jpg
I think I can make my dual link analog cables work.. by removing those 4 pins with a pair of needle nose pliers.So why couldn't the Westy use Dual Link? Dual link is backwards compatible right? nice find on the pic Toxic......
It will work fine.
LOL .. Good Times SteveW928!
So, actually going to their store is as bad as the eCommerce? OMG! LOL

Is this DVI cable going to work with my Westy ? I already placed the order a few days ago ?
It doesn't say anything about analog...anyone know ?
bahahaha.. i had to wait 4 additional business days for my monitor to arrive cuz of the snow in seattle area few weeks back. AIT driver still couldnt make it down the ice covered hill to my house... had 2 options.. to wait more or drive my truck up hill to get it... i picked the later hehe. duhDamn the SNOW.....i have to wait till Friday for my monitor.....>.<
Aside from this being a great PC monitor, which it seems as if most of you are using this set for, would you recommend it for a home theater set-up? My entertainment center can only hold a TV 38" wide so I'm pretty much limited to a 37" set. I've been checking out this set, the Sharp Aquos 37" and the Olevia 537h and haven't decided which to go with. Out of the 3 the Westy is the only one that can do 1080p but is that going to really matter on a 37" set? Will you be able to tell the difference between 1080p and 720p sitting 8-9ft away from it? I plan on using it to watch TV shows, movies and also play games. I have both a 360 and a PS3 and I also have the HD-DVD add-on for the 360 so I will be watching HD-DVD's and Blue-Ray movies as well. I'm also concerned about the black levels, I know with LCD's it's never going to look as good as CRT or Plasma for that matter but how do the black levels fair on this set? Any input you guys can give me would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

I can tell the difference at this range- but everyone is different. I'd recommend some in person views at a local retailer to see what your ability is. Some people have sharper vision than others.Will you be able to tell the difference between 1080p and 720p sitting 8-9ft away from it?
The black level is very dependant on the backlight/contrast settings. There is slight backlight bleed, but that is true for all LCD's. So long as you are not watching a dark scene in a completely dark room, and have set the panel settings with a program like AVIA, I think you'll be happy. But that's just my opinion.I know with LCD's it's never going to look as good as CRT or Plasma for that matter but how do the black levels fair on this set?
nah, its pretty average. Native contrast of 1000:1Black levels on the Westys are very poor by any measure. Its kicks out a great picture otherwise however.
I got a DVI to DVI cable for this monitor, however now that you've brought it to my attention, my gfx card has the DVI port with the 2 holes on top and 2 on the bottom, do I need a different cable now?
Overall I must say this is the best PC monitor Ive owned and cant see replacing it anytime soon..As long as it works..
