The T221 has 4 single-link DVIs and you can drive it with 1, 2, 3, or 4 simultaneously. The Apple 30 has a dual-link DVI interface. text/html 2004-10-31T19:09:08-05:00 Eric Rucker http://www.hardwareanalysis.com/content/topic/28979/#199442 The T221 requires four channels of DVI(-D), not four connectors. The DVI spec allows for either one or two channels of DVI.<br /> <br /> FWIW, the 30&quot; Apple Cinema Display can also use this, with 2560x1600 resolution.

Under this special mode, the dual-link port drives 2624x2400 portion of the screen and the single-link port drives the remaining 1216x2400 portion, all at 48Hz genlocked.<br /> <br /> The DG5 comes with a dual-link DVI splitter. And no, you can't use the resulting split DVIs to drive 2 other monitors. The splitter merely splits the even/odd pixels inherent in the 2 links out to 2 different DVI ports on the monitor. The monitor recombines the 2 streams internally. text/html 2004-07-06T01:29:17-05:00 richard johns http://www.hardwareanalysis.com/content/topic/28979/#0 when i first saw this arengment i have to admit it reminded me of my dual voodoo 2 days.<br /> then i considered a ibm monitor i saw that required four full dvi connectors to drive at an insane reslution of 3840 x 2400. without the full four connectors the refresh rates on the monitor are below par. could this system merley be a way of pushing the traditional dpi on a monitor up into the range of 200 dpi.<br /> i know nvidia and their quatro cards seemed to be hooked at the waist to the new ibm monitor.<br /> <br /> i may just be blowing smoke but it seems a little to far out to be a coincidence.<br /> <br /> ibm monitor site.<br /> <br /> <a class="ext" href="/action/r/http://www.pc.ibm.com/us/accessories/monitors/index.html" target="_blank">http://www.pc.ibm.com/us/accessories/monitors/index.html</a>
