DisplayPort Dual Link DVI adapter only for Apple display

24.01.2009
The Macworld.com story "DisplayPort Dual Link DVI adapter only for Apple display," which ran Friday, reported incorrectly that Apple's DVI adapter works only with Apple displays. Changes have been made throughout the story, including the headline.

The story now reads as follows:

Users report problems with Apple display adapter

Owners of the latest MacBook, MacBook Pro, and MacBook Air models can connect their laptops to 30-inch displays using Apple's $99 . However, some users have been with the new adapter, ranging from screen artifacts to completely blank displays.

Some of those reporting problems are connecting the adapter to third-party displays from Dell and Samsung, and have posted that Apple tech support told them that only Apple's 30-inch Cinema Display HD was supported by the adapter.

However, according to an Apple spokesperson, the adapters are intended to be used with displays other than Apple's.
