The Dual link DVI effectively doubles the power of transmission and provides an increase of refresh rates and signal quality. Specifically a DVI single link 60-Hz LCD can display a resolution of 1920 x 1200, while a DVI dual link 60-Hz LCD can display a resolution of 2560 x 1600. If you look at the plug-ends of a single “dual link” cable, you see it actually has more pins packed in than standard single link DVI cables (18 vs 24 pins). In this case, more pins and wires in the cable translates to more bandwidth. Free Shipping in USA Shipping only to USA
