[QUOTE="Dewdman42, post: 1704981, member: 169829"] thanks for that.. According to this document: I think this is the jist of it... if any DVI display requires a dual link DVI connection...such as the Apple Cinema display or some other 2k monitors, then the expensive adapter is required to support converting mini display port into [u]dual[/u] dvi. If the monitor uses single link, then I can use the cheap adapter. Returning used items is a lot easier said then done and shipping costs half as much as the monitor itself, so that's not really a good solution I need to know it will work. the good news is that understanding all of this now, i see that the used monitors I am thinking about getting are in facts single link DVI...so... should work... Thanks Nick. Thanks and I will try that rather then a $29 one from Apple :Smirk: [/QUOTE]
