Gefen Reveals Dual Link DVI To Mini-DisplayPort Converter

Intel's Thunderbolt I/O port is the buzzword right now, but DisplayPort still has a long life ahead of it. Gefen has stepped up with a new dual-link DVI to Mini-DisplayPort, which is designed to work with many of today's new monitors that utilize mini-DisplayPort. Most legacy laptops only support DVI, but if you buy a new monitor (like the ones from Apple), you'll need an adapter just like this to make the two play together. The dongle supports resolutions as high as 2560x1600, and it's good to use with both Windows and Macs.

It comes equipped with a USB port that powers the device and is used for field upgrades, and it can be pre-ordered starting today for $199.
