Dell 30 inch monitor with Single Link.

Well, the question has been asked enough times. “Will a Dell 30 inch dual link display work under single link modes?” Dell’s site explicitly says that a Dual Link video card must be used with this monitor. We called up Dell, and none of the people we talked to seemed to know. Since none of us have that monitor we just kept wondering. One of our customers called up today and wanted to use his 30 incher in single link mode. We asked him if he had tried it. He said no, and then tried it while I was on the phone. It worked great. He said it looked best at 1280 X 800.

    Wouldn’t 1280X800 look pretty huge on a 30-inch monitor? I have a 24″ dell monitor and I run it at 1920X1200, which looks great.

    I would be interested to see if the single link can actually support decent resolutions.

    Sounds mostly like a video card issue to me. Single link can produce great resolutions, and I’ll bet this guy did not try it because he couldn’t. Chances are he had a very limiting video card. But I will bet the 1920×1200 is supported in single link mode on the 30 inch.
