[QUOTE="quantic, post: 510976, member: 27362"] Ok, so ive got a 30" Dell 3007WFP-HC display and im currently running it on a PC. However, I got the new 24" imac for at work, after a week of using it im pretty much ready to ditch my PC at home (which was dated anyway) for a new MAC. This is where I come to a bit of a problem. Am I right in thinking that the only way i can power my display at the full resolution is by getting either a Macbook Pro or a Mac Pro? I hope not as im just not prepared to pay that much for a mac that wont be anywhere nere as powerful as the price equivalent PC. I was rather hoping to get a Mac Mini, or another 24" imac then run the 30" off one of those. Surely this cant be right? The only desktop that powers the 2560 x 1600 res is the mac pro, I just find that insane, seeing as the imac has a graphics card that SHOULD have Dual DVI-D out. This must actually mean they have had it removed or a special downgraded version has been added to all imacs. :Angry: :Angry: [/QUOTE]
