Hello,

Getting an ultrasharp u2711 to go along with my new gaming rig, and just found out that to get the full resolution I want I need dual dvi.  I have never dealt with DVI cables yet, and curious what I should go with. Going to be used with my dual Nvidia 480's.

LOL

Man I feel for you !ender_, nothing like an expensive high resolution monitor that is trying to bend you over and stick it to you so badly that they can't even include the $10 cable needed to actually run it at said high resolution. Especially when said $10 cable probably only costs them $1 or less.

it was literally shocking to me, every other LG purchase of mine has been very very good, i thought it was a mistake until i saw other people complain about it on reviews
 
the monitor itself is actually really nice lg w2340g, it was really important to me to get a gloss screen and i managed to swing getting this one as a birthday gift which was pretty nice. and switching from my old single link to that new cable definitely appears to have made some differences
