can iMac (21.5inch, 2009) use 2560x1440 res of Dell U2713H

[oat]

My iMac is the old 21.5inch 2009 version with a max display resolution of 1920x1080.

May I ask if I can connect it to a Dell U2713H/U2713HM monitor and use its max resolution of 2560x1440?

If I can, which of the following 2 ways to use to connect the iMac and Dell monitor?
1. use "Apple's mini displayport to dual-link DVI adapter" and "Dell's dual-link DVI cable"? or
2. use a "mini displayport" to "displayport" cable?

Thanks!

Hi,

MacTracker says : ´External Resolution : Up to 2560 by 1600 pixels'.

Thanks, Bruno! Is that a Yes? hehe.

Btw, can you kindly advise on the method of connection as asked?

Thanks!

Yes for the resolution.

As for the connection, both should work, but please wait for some one else to confirm, since I never tested myself.
