Hello,

I'm very confused about what monitors I can connect to the 7300GT on my Mac Pro.

I'm thinking about buying a Dell 2407FPW soon, and also hooking up a 1080P HDTV when I get it. I want to run a dual setup in this way.

I couldn't find anything on Apple's website that describes whether this is possible?

Any thoughts?

As long as the TV has a DVI in then it should work I think. Although I believe the resolution on the TV is less than that of the monitor. What TV are you wanting to hook up to specifically?

I'm looking at the Samsung TN4661 LCD. I think the resolution on it is 1920x1080.

I'll be running a DVI<->HDMI cable to the TV for this.

They're both WUXGA (a bit less for the TV) so you'll be using less than what the card is capable of (one WQXGA [typically 30"] and one WUXGA [typically 23-24"]).

Great news!

Thanks.
