I just ordered this after having failed results with the Dell/Bizlink active DP->DVI adapter. I am running 3x 24" monitors. I hope this adapter can run 1920x1200. I don't think there would be any issues, but I read a post about a user having an issue with the Apple DP->VGA adapter at 1920x1200. I will post back once I get some results. |

I tried the dp to vga from apple, it doesnt seem to support 1920x1200,when i make a group it forces all three monitors to do 1600x1200??? which native resolution do your monitors have? does it work with a single screen in 1920x1200? in the german apple shop, some1 commented it does work with his 1920x1200, but most specs around the net only mention 1080p |

[quote] .... It has to be getting it's power through the DP connection. The reason it works, I think but don't quote me, is because by having to convert the digital output to analog VGA input, there is an "active" process taking place, not just a "passive" pass-through of digital to digital. All I know is that it works!! So, even though I can't say for sure that the one you found will work, it seems to me that ANY displayport to analog VGA adapter will have this "active" process taking place. Good luck!!
