If I hook up my1920x1080 monitor to the DVI port, can I then hook up a 1680x1050 to the display port using the DVI adapter?

You can hook up any two monitors that have a connection for display port and dvi regardless of resolution. You can even use an adapter to dvi, hdmi, or display port to suit whatever you monitor has inputs for including going back to VGA

Mine has 2 DVI and I run 2 1920x1080 with no problems. So you should be fine

If you have a Display Port to DVI adapter then yes, you can. Otherwise you'll need to order one.

I was only able to get the max resolution, via a display port cable. I have tried 2 different dual link dvi cables, but they never went above 1920x1080.

The resolution can go up 1440p with the DUAL DVI connection. Make sure you are using the correct cable. IT should have been included when you purchased the item. You need a Dual-DVI cable. A normal DVI cable does not work. Any graphics card with a Dual-DVI port should work.

No. Both must be digital connections. DVI and HDMI. You can use converter on either port

Hello from Ecomade Arena.No.Mini DisplayPort(Thunderbolt) to DVI adapter does not works.That is Mini DP to DVI-Single adapter, it only support 1920*1080 resolution rate.Mini DP to DVI-dual link adapter can support 2560*1440 resolution.

Just to add to that, if it works great with HDMI, it would work great with DVI too-they're basically the same thing, and a $20 cable or whatever would adapt it.

Absolutely. An adapter comes in the box to hook it up to third-party monitors with a DVI port. If the monitor you want to use is VGA only, then you can get another adapter from Apple for about $19.

Buy a vga to DVI-D adapter and a DVI-D cable. Do not use a vga to HDMI cable with wide gamut monitor.

No... You have to use something like DisplayPort in order to get full resolution . That's what I use... Works great... In my situation though, my video card has Display-port outputs. If yours does not, I'm not sure if you can achieve full res.

No, VGA. But you could connect your DVI display to the VGA connector with the right adapter.

Yes, if your monitor has a HDMI connector. If you have the standard pin connector, you will need to purchase an adapter.

They might be able to at lower refresh rates, but display port is generally better at that high of resolutions. The highest dvi supports at 60 hz is 1920x1200.

This will work for converting DVI to VGA. The only way it won't work is if the signal is DVI-D which in that case you'll need an active converter. You can tell by looking at the flat part on the DVI connector and see if it has 2 pins above and below it, and if it does it is not DVI-D so it should work.

Almost certainly yes, although it depends on the video card. I have used a single-link (i.e. normal) DVI port to drive this monitor at 1920x1200. You do need a dual-link DVI (i.e. extra fancy DVI) to use all the pixels on the screen, but you may find your video card actually does have dual-link DVI.Most video cards with two outputs, like yours, can drive two separate monitors. I have very rarely seen exceptions - Dell computers with a VGA and a DVI port on the motherboard come to mind, in that case you can only use one. But that's the motherboard, if you install a video card you can use it normally. Almost certainly yes, although it depends on the video card.

Yes, you can. You would need an Active DisplayPort Adapter, which is usually around $85+. You would plug the DVI-D into the Active DisplayPort Adapter, then the DisplayPort into the docking station, along with the USB directly into the laptop's USB port or the docking station, and then the USB to USB cable from the laptop or docking station into the Active DisplayPort Adapter to supply additional power (or else your frames will occasionally drop). Then you'll be good to go.I use my work laptop, which is a Dell E6430s and a docking station, with this monitor when working at home.

Yes. You will have to use the provided DVI-d to VGA adapter, but it is 100% possible. I am running triple monitor with Displayport, HDMI, and DVI-d all off this card
