trying to connect an asus zenbook n501vw to a samsung syncmaster 305t.
the monitors native resolution is 2560x1600 with dvi input. I found a random hdmi to dvi (18 pin) cable laying around the office but when i plug it in i only get a max 1280x800. can i get the full resolution with a hdmi to 24 pin dvi cable or do i need some other gizmo? |

You need dual link DVI-D. Does your cable look like the below on the left? http://www.naplestech.com/images/DVI-dual-link-vs-single-link.jpg no the random old one i found laying around looks like the one on the right. the laptop doesn't have dvi output though, so will an hdmi to dvi dual link actually work? |

Should. You want a dual-link DVI-D to HDMI cable. Edit: See this thread May be more complicated... |

Yeah i was reading all kinds of different shit some people the 6 dollar hdmi to dvi cable from amazon worked some people said you need active adapter with extra power supply. That thread is from 2011 though i think i saw it earlier. Ordered $6 amazon cable worth a shot, also asked asus whats best. |
