The previous reviews that were hot about 18 vs 24 pin, I found the following that seemed to put my mind at ease. At the risk of someone thinking Im spamming, Im not posting the link, but if you google some of the text below, Im sure youll find the link. "Explain Single link (18pin) vs. Dual link (24pin) The DVI cables are available in DVID SingleLink and DualLink as well as DVII SingleLink and DualLink format connectors. These cables send information using a digital information format called TMDS (transition minimized differential signaling). Single link cables use one TMDS 165Mhz transmitter, while dual links use two. The dual link effectively doubles the power of transmission and provides an increase of speed and signal quality i.e. a single link 60Hz LCD can display a resolution of 1920 x 1080 (enough for HDTV) , while a dual link can display a resolution of 2048 x 1536. There is some confusion as to dual link cables being superior to single link cables. A single link cable is 100% as good as a dual link cable for single link equipment which covers about 99.5% of current equipment, including HDTVs, Projectors, Plasma Screens, and High Definition Set top Boxes. Single and dual link has nothing to do with quality. If both devices being connected support dual link, then a dual link cable is a bettercable for the application, and you will have the capability of much greater resolutions and refresh rates. A dual link cable should have no negative effects when used with single link equipment." http://garyadair.com/324944
