MBP 17" i7 - video output resolution?

[itwasepic]

Hi all,

I am very close to pulling the trigger and coming over to Apple land. My question is: what is the maximum supported resolution that the MBP 17" will provide so I can figure out what type of external monitor to buy for the home office?

Thanks in advance!

2560 x 1600

which can be found on the official website Apple put online to showcase their MBPs and their technical specifications.

I think this is the link.

it depends if you buy the dual link dvi adapter or not. Its like 100 bucks, but you can find them for 60 to 70 elsewhere.

single link is 1920 × 1200
dual link is 2560 × 1600

This is correct but also a note, Displayport is capable of putting out 2560x1600 by itself as well so if the monitor has a displayport connecter on it you wont even need a DVI adapter.
