I just ordered this after having failed results with the Dell/Bizlink active DP->DVI adapter. I am running 3x 24" monitors. I hope this adapter can run 1920x1200. I don't think there would be any issues, but I read a post about a user having an issue with the Apple DP->VGA adapter at 1920x1200.

I will post back once I get some results.

what is the ETA on that? if yours works out for you, then I will be ordering this product asap.

I would guess next Monday or Tuesday (11/30/09 or 12/01/09) seeing as they are located in Houston and ground shipping to DFW is only a day from that location.

Good luck, also looking forward to a further user confirmation :D

I tried the dp to vga from apple, it doesnt seem to support 1920x1200,when i make a group it forces all three monitors to do 1600x1200???

which native resolution do your monitors have?
does it work with a single screen in 1920x1200?

in the german apple shop, some1 commented it does work with his 1920x1200, but most specs around the net only mention 1080p

how does this work if it's not powered by usb?

It has to be getting it's power through the DP connection.

The reason it works, I think but don't quote me, is because by having to convert the digital output to analog VGA input, there is an "active" process taking place, not just a "passive" pass-through of digital to digital.

All I know is that it works!!

So, even though I can't say for sure that the one you found will work, it seems to me that ANY displayport to analog VGA adapter will have this "active" process taking place.

Good luck!!

Yep, that's the one.

VGA max to 1920x1200

I'm tempted to buy one and sell my apple adapter I don't need the dual link DVI resolutions.

Can you access 1680x1050 as well?

Not exactly the best, but at least it's the right aspect ratio.

you're going to sell that just to make a couple of extra bucks
