Atlona Dual Link DVI to Mini DisplayPort Converter
The Dual Link DVI to Mini DisplayPort Converter from Atlona is a DVI to Mini DisplayPort converter designed to convert a Mac or PC with a dual link DVI output to a digital signal over a Mini DisplayPort connector. It is specifically designed to work with Apple iMac 27" and Apple 27" LED which can support resolutions up to 2560 x 1440. Users can use the connected monitor as their main display or extend their desktop using it as an additional screen. This converter is compatible with all Apple and PCs with a DVI or Mini-DVI connection. It features an attached DVI cable and uses USB as a power source, eliminating the need for an external power supply.
Please note! For Playstation 3 and Xbox users, you can use the AT-DP400 converter without additional devices at resolutions up to 720p. Make sure to set your source to 720p before connecting it to the converter. Even though it is unable to pass through very high resolutions, the Xbox or PS3 will only be able to view 720p because iMac 27" doesn't accept 1080i or 1080p.
The AT-DP400 requires a Dual Link video card that supports 2560 x 1440 in order to output 2560 x 1440 to a display. Please make sure your card is Dual Link.
The AT-DP400 will not support 2011 Apple iMac 27" with Thunderbolt connection.

It works as expected. I can't believe that Apple charges twice as much and delivers in twice as long! Get it from B&H and be happy!

Comments about Atlona Dual Link DVI to Mini DisplayPort Converter:
I have a 4 year old Mac Pro in my office, which had a 20" monitor. I decided I needed to upgrade to a bigger display, but thought I'd save the department a few bucks by keeping the computer and ordering a new monitor, so I got the Apple 27" LED Cinema Display. Unfortunately, they keep upgrading peripherals --- so this came with a mini-display port. And also unfortunately, my computer has an old DVI port. I almost returned the monitor until I discovered the Atlona AT-DP400. Some have complained of it being "flimsy" or "cheap" but it's a plastic adapter that takes your mini-display port and plugs that into your DVI port on your older computer (along with a USB slot for power). It's a bit on the pricey side for a little piece of plastic, but it does EXACTLY what it's supposed to do, it works, it's hanging behind the computer, I don't think about it, and it's the only game in town. So if you have a similar issue (new display, old computer), this is a simple, effective solution.

Comments about Atlona Dual Link DVI to Mini DisplayPort Converter:
My aim was to connect my PC to an Apple Cinema Display. I found to my dismay--and confirmed with the manufacturer--that this device is not designed to work with a dual link DVI-I output, but only with a dual link DVI-D output.

Comments about Atlona Dual Link DVI to Mini DisplayPort Converter:
This converter is designed by the manufacturer to convert a MAC DVI port into a mini display port and then connect to either an iMac or Apple's 27 inch LED Cinema Display. It used it for the latter application and it works as described/designed. Can't speak about usage with PC but for those wanting to use it with an older DVI equipped MAC as I did... it works flawlessly.

nice to have a solution to be able to put my dvi pc output through a minidisplay port. seems to affect gamma a bit so don't rely on it for colour critical work before researching possible limitations further.

Not working properly.
I received this item which is the only one on the market to plug a cinema display 24 to a old version of Mac mini.
When pluged in, lines appeared and spots green and purple.
It seem to be a connection problem.
I never had problems with BH but i think that you must test the products you are selling.
This was a waist of money
