Hey all,

I've only just discovered a very cheap Active Displayport -> Dual Link DVI cable for only 22 euro and 30 cents.
Is this better then a mini DP -> VGA cable of 21 euro's?

Here's the link: http://azerty.nl/0-1142-304567/sapphire-active-displayport-to.html

I've sended an e-mail to the website and they confirmed me that the price is correct :)

Well the active Dp to VGA adapter at Monoprice.com is $20, and it's reported to work for most, so It's certainly possible. Is risking losing 22 euros worth possibly SAVING 3 times as much, or the fuss of getting a refund for it?

Looking at that link, there's a surprising lack of detailed information. But i guess SOMEONE has to test it, right?

Yea, it's Sapphire one.
Normally they're 100-120 euro's, but this shop has them for 22 euro for some reason (they said their supply-ers have them cheap, rlly weird tho :P)
Is it a big difference in quality etc? Between the VGA one or the DVI one?

Check the link again, it was a product mistake. Actually it is the DP->VGA adapter, they are displaying it right now.

Bad luck. Too good to be true :-P

However, that adapter is the one that I'm using and it works flawlessly.
