Hi all, sorry I'm a newbie to these forums!
I've currently got a MacBook Pro 15-inch, 2.53GHz, Mid 2009 model.
I am using a Samsung SyncMaster 27" display as my primary, I almost always use this MacBook in Clamshell mode, single monitor.
I currently use a Mini Display Port to HDMI cable, and the Samsung monitor runs at 1080p 60hz happily. I don't get any lag etc.
However, I'm getting more involved with photo editing / graphic design and would like a higher resolution screen.
I'm looking at the Dell Ultrasharp U2713H 27" (or equivalent, if someone can recommend better!)
It looks to have a resolution of 2560 x 1440 at 60 Hz
It also has a mini display port input, so I figured that a MDP to MDP cable would let me use this resolution from my MacBook Pro.
Am I wrong?
Will my MBP even output this resolution at all?
I've been trying to read up and it looks like I need to convert from Mini Display Port to Dual Link DVI?
I'm so confused!
Thank you for any help in advance.
Many Thanks,
Alex
