    Has anyone attempted it? There's an old thread, but it dealt with the 260m and was all assumptions with no actual testing. I'm looking at a Dell 27" with DP input.

    Should work fine. Take a look at the AMD site.

    Works fine, I connect my m15x to my 3008wfp (2560x1600) via DP on occasion.

    Yeah, 2560x1600 is the highest any card in the M15x will do through Display port. Oddly, the 240M, 5850M and 5730M will all do that, but the 260M will only manage 2048x1536 max. Which I find very odd.
