I'm close on the choice of a new monitor but I need to make sure I've got my facts straight. I'm looking at the Dell UltraSharp 27" LED-Backlit LCD Monitor, model no. U2715H. There's a deal on now for $540 with free shipping and a $200 Dell gift card.
My question:
My 2.0 ghz 8gb 10.6.8 early 2009 C2D Mini says it will support up to 1920 by 1200 pixels on a DVI or VGA display and up to 2560 by 1600 pixels on a dual-link DVI display using Mini DisplayPort to Dual-Link DVI Adapter.
The Dell supports 2560x1440 resolution and has a DisplayPort connector. Can I just go DP to DP cable, leave out the dual link part and end up with native 2560x1440 ?
