I've read before that my macbook pro 15" with regular display port wont support the 27" displays, can anyone confirm this is true? even with the Mini DisplayPort to Dual-Link DVI Adapter (http://store.apple.com/us/product/MB571Z/A?)


I'm using one of those with a 13" mid2010 mbp to power a 30" display at 2560x1600. It works, just make sure you use a dvi-d cable as well, most of the complaints I noticed about it not working when I was researching it seemed to be because the person hadn't actually got a dvi-d cable to go with the adaptor.


thanks. I'm running on a 15" late 2009, hoping it works too, I'll look into the cable as well, Thanks!


I have a 2-year-old 13" MBP that is running a 27" display (2560x1440) just fine (with a DP to DP cable).


I use a 15" macbook pro with display port on a 27" display at work with the dual link adapter, no problem.
