DVI cables

[RobFDB]

I recently purchased a Dell 2407 LCD monitor but in my haste forgot to purchase a DVI cable to go with it. Does anyone know if the monitor comes with a cable? If not, what would people suggest. I should only need 1 or 2 m in length.

it comes with one, you need not worry

Excellent. Means that's another £25/£30 I don't have to spend.

The monitor has arrived but I'm told it's only got a single link DVI cable included. I always thought that SL DVI goes up to 1920 x 1080. As the 2407 is 1920 x 1200 isn't the cable insufficient for the monitors needs?

Max resolution for a single-link DVI is 2212 x 1243 (widescreen), so you'll be fine.

Stock cable is fine. Stop worrying and enjoy.

Thanks everyone. I'll enjoy my new monitor.

The max for single link is 1900x1200 according to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dvi

Anyways, you should be fine.

You'll note in the same article, under "Technical Discussion," that the practical max resolution is 2212 x 1243.

Fair enough. However, I have never seen a monitor that has over 1900x1200 that is still single link or a recommended 2212x1243. Atleast with LCD's.
