I'm tempted to buy one and sell my apple adapter I don't need the dual link DVI resolutions.


you're going to sell that just to make a couple of extra bucks


Its about £50 difference.

I went with this one from ebay UK

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=350263793156&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT

Works fine, but I have had the occasional problem with the monitor switching off, as mentioned in http://www.widescreengamingforum.com/node/11274

But I think that is a driver issue rather than to do with the adaptor.

This is great news. Can those of you that have it running report on if you have any limitations in resolution etc please?

I was a little reluctant about this, but the price difference between these adapters and the active DP->DVI adapters are too high to pass up! I bought a DP->VGA adapter from monoprice - it looks identical to the adapter initially mentioned in this post:

http://www.monoprice.com/products/product.asp?c_id=104&cp_id=10428&cs_id=1042801&p_id=5135&seq=1&format=2

I've got 3 Dell 2405FPWs that I'll be using with the adapter, at 1920x1200x3, connected to a Radeon 5850. I should receive the adapter sometime next week, I'll post pictures of the setup if everything ends up working!

Nice, I was waiting for a confirmation from another source. :)

Kudos to TexasTango for his find! :bowdown

Definitely sticky worthy!

Edit: And here is an official verification (though its not officially supported) from AMD via [H]:

It'll be interesting to see if this works out with the 5870 EyeFinity6:

Uh-oh, hopefully it will work at higher resolutions, otherwise this won't be much use to me! :oops:

Ok, This sounds promising, I've been looking around at things for a few days on display port, and I can't find much of anything. Which GPU are you using in the 19" 22" 19" setup?
