Does this work as a dual link DVI? I want to connect a WQHD (1440p) screen to my laptop.

It doesn't work as a dual link dvi. The dual link dvi takes more power so you have to buy the special dual link dvi adapter I isn't very much extra it is only about $10 so I hoped this helped so you don't buy the wrong one. Also to help you find the right one the dual link has a USB on it so it can get more power.

I'm using one with my desktop to connect a second monitor. It works great. I think it should work with your laptop.

No. Laptops don't usually have DVI ports (the kind with the grid of pins and the little + shaped bar off to one side). If yours does (exact model would be helpful), then it MIGHT work. But unless you have a solid return policy, I wouldn't risk it. This is really a desktops-only monitor. And no, a port adapter will not work.

In addition to Nick's comment on the IOGEAR specs, I note under "key features" in Amazon's listing "Single link DVI resolution up to 1920x 1200 @ 60Hz". I read that as no support for Dual-link DVI.

No. It only work's from DVI to HDMI. I thought the same thing as u. Wouldn't do that so I sent it back.

Neither is it PLS, nor does it have a single DP. You may only connect via a good DVI-D cable, but then you can overclock to 2560x1440 @ 120hz (+-20hz about, depending on your luck) I bought this exact model before and unless they totally changed it, the description is plainly misleading/wrong now.

No, DisplayPort's daisy chain feature requires all the links in the chain to be DisplayPort connections. DVI has a very different (and much older) signaling scheme, which cannot support multiple streams through a single cable, so there is no way to supply the extra data for the second monitor.

Yes. Use a Standard DVI cable which most new laptops support or you will have to buy a converter.

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.

Hi, that shoud be work, but probably you need a second graphic controller. Or you have a graphic controller the can controled two high resolution screens. The have DVI-D interface only! I use him on my laptop with adaptor DVI-D to Display port. (With USB power supply) Its working fine.

No, you would need a VGA to DVI when I bought this it was for a DVI to VGA just get the connection the other way around

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 it does support DVI-D but the wireless mouse can be a hit and miss after rebooting.

first of all john, nice name. onto the question though, i personally have been unsuccessful at using a triple screen display with a single videocard, BUT thats not to say that its impossible, i have tried an active adapter that goes from dvi (dual link) to vga, however it might work with the displayport, but i do not have the money anymore to try it

DVI video port gives you digital signal capable of 2560x1200 or higher resolution. What else HD do you need? HDMI? Most likely you can use DVI-&gt;HDMI dongle

You are correct, plug the adapter into your Graphics Card and then use your own DVI cable. Please be aware that this adapter will not work for monitors that require Dual-Link bandwidth (120hz+ monitors, or resolutions above 1920x1200).

I haven't tried HDMI to DVI. I can't really test it either because I don't have that kind of cable. I can't see why is shouldn't work though. The output is pretty much a passthrough.
