    Hi,

    The X201 w/Ultrabase is supposed to be able to put out 2560x1600. Unfortunately the monitor I'm looking at doesn't have Displayport input, it only has either Dual DVI or HDMI inputs.

    Can someone suggest a converter that I can connect with my Ultrabase Displayport and either Dual DVI or HDMI (would love suggestions for both options)? The Dual DVI converters I've seen are generally pretty expensive and have a hardware box in the middle, not sure how reliable they are.

    I found this one that looks like it's Dual DVI, cheaper and without a box, but not sure if it will work.

    StarTech 6 ft DisplayPort to DVI Video Converter Cable | 0A61235 | Lenovo (US)

    Thanks for your help.
