What gfx card are you using to feed them both? I thought it needed 2 dvi leads or something per screen? or am i being stupid and not understanding the wording of dual dvi

my 2407 is gonna have to be upgraded i think

Obviously i would love one of these but unfortunatley i cant justify forking out over 1k for something that would kill my eyes after a couple of hours!

My 20" will do for now!

Dual DVI is just a thicker cable with more wires in it.. its amazing how many people think the same as you

see the pic i linked..
was just using my normal X1900XT

Ok I have to ask StevenG

Do you know what DVI-D and DVI-A are as I havent heard of these before?

MoNkEyMiKeY · 25 Jan 2007 at 16:44

Right my monitor is a DVI-D (dual link) but my cable is DVI-D (single link). Does that mean Im using the wrong cable?

MoNkEyMiKeY · 25 Jan 2007 at 16:47

And if I bought this Cable would that work.

StevenG · 25 Jan 2007 at 19:02

DVI-A is analog and DVI-D is digital..

the only purpose of dual link DVi is that you gain access to higher resolutions.. afaik DVI will only go up to 1920x1200 any higher and you need Dual link dvi.. to get the res on this massive monitor 2560x1600

Dual Dell 3007WFPs would be one of my dream setups at the moment, but it must be awful for graphics, I imagine you will need two of the best graphics cards around to run any games or 3D on.

Thanks for the pictures.

huh???? Care to explain that please, ie how and whats the point?

Seperate digital and analogue cables all in one connection?

Im just interested is all, not really sure why this would be required or wanted in any situation.

It just has the capability to carry either signal. It's more to do with the graphics card it's connected to rather than the cable though.

MoNkEyMiKeY-Yes it will work fine,im running mine on the same lead.

HEADRAT · 26 Jan 2007 at 21:21

Very nice but I would have been tempted by a nice 1:1 mapping 1080p LCD

I think that's what I'm going to go for above my dual 2407FPW's rather than a 3007FPW.

i bought this purely for the extra desktop space (on a single monitor) for photo edeting and just down-sizeing from having 2 monitors..

i thought i would miss the dual screen but this has enough space to make up for it..

couldnt fault it atall my new one is perfect! and at the prices they're going for now there becoming affordable
