Monitor cable note: You don't have to use the expensive dual-link DVI adapters if you have a monitor that supports the standard sized DisplayPort. You can get a simple Mini DisplayPort to DisplayPort adapter (and DisplayPort cable) and it supports the full 2560x1600 resolution of monitors like the 30" Dell.

(note: summary description says max of 1920x1200, but detailed description says up to 2560x1600. I'm using it on a 30" Dell, so it works :)

That's exactly what I did as well. It works a treat, other than the cable and/or connection sometimes being finicky and sending the external monitor into sleep mode. I suspect a higher quality cable wouldn't exhibit this problem.

Or without the unmentioned referal link

What's wrong with a referral link?

[chollida1]

It's a common curtosy to mention it. Ufnortunately otherwise, when you recommend a link it sounds more like your trying to make a buck than help someone out.

Absolutely nothing, but I prefer when you disclaim that you've included one.

TIL that a 30" Dell monitor costs 2500 USD in Brazil. WJW.

That adapter only supports one monitor right?

[drewjoh]

Yes, only one monitor per mini DisplayPort.
