I have a Dell U2715H. It connects fine to my MBP mid-2009 but I am wondering if it can connect to my desktop Mac Pro 2008. The old cinema display is acting up.
The monitor's ports are listed here http://accessories.dell.com/sna/pro...ST&cid=282143&lid=5458112&acd=123098073120560:
Connectivity
2 HDMI(MHL) connector
1 Mini DisplayPort
1 DisplayPort (version 1.2)
1 DisplayPort out (MST)
1 Audio Line out (connect your speakers)
5 USB 3.0 ports - Downstream (4 at the back, 1 with battery charging)
1 USB 3.0 port - Upstream
In my Mac Pro 2008 the video card (NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GT) has two dual-link DVI ports.
Is it possible, with something like an active DVI to DisplayPort adapter? I know those are sold as DP to DVI, any chance the signal can pass both directions ... ?
Or I could even use HDMI if I have to.
