Hi,
I'm struggling to find a definitive answer to this question. I'm in the market for a new monitor and the Dell U2412M looks perfect for my needs.
I use a Compaq CQ61 Laptop at work which has an ATI Mobility Radeon HD4200 graphics card with HDMI and VGA outputs. I'm aware that VGA is inferior to digital connections so I'd like to connect the monitor using the HDMI output from my laptop via an HDMI > DVI cable to the DVI-D input of the monitor. I've come across some discussions online stating that HDMI is limited to 1920x1080 on most devices so I'm reluctant to buy the U2412M if I'm not going to get maximum performance. Other discussions state that it is all nonsense and the manufacturers don't know what they're talking about.
Will an HDMI to dual link DVI-D cable (like this http://www.ebuyer.com/130513-xenta-gold-plated-hdmi-to-dvi-d-dual-link-cable-black-2m-plex-034) connect the monitor to my laptops HDMI output and display the full 1920x1200 resolution?
