[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 1707654, member: 56379"] If someone doesn't fully understand a topic…of course they will not "see the need" for something.;) It's only after a topic is fully understood…that then…the need can be "seen".:) Obviously the Apple dual-link adapter was developed for a reason…otherwise no one would need it.:) I know that the Apple computers that need this adapter are the one's with mini-displayport video ports. This covers models from approx. 2008 thru at least 2011. Before the mini-display port (before 2008)…the Apple 30" display could be connected to Apple computers directly (no adapter needed). After Apple moved to the Thunderbolt port (which can also act like a mini-displayport for displays with a mini displayport cable)…I'm not 100% sure if this adapter is still needed. The Dell 30" display and the Apple 30" display are very similar. And this is why the Dell 30" display also needs this Apple adapter with Apple computers with a mini-displayport. FYI. Here's an article mentioning needing the Apple adapter with a 30" Dell display.
