Kanex, maker of audio-visual solutions for Apple computers, is excited to announce the C24DL, a full resolution dual-link digital video inverter (DVI) to 27 inch Apple LED Cinema Display (ACD). The C24DL is a simple dual-link DVI with USB to Mini DisplayPort converter designed for users with legacy Macs (2006-early 2008 MacBook Pro, 2005-mid 2007 Mac Mini) or PCs with high-end graphics cards to connect specifically to a 27 inch ACD.

The Kanex C247DL supports the native HD resolution (2560x1440) of the ACD not available with other standard DVI adapters. The innovative converter actively converts the video signal from the dual-link DVI delivering pixel perfect resolution. The included USB cable powers the C247DL, allows for audio transfer to the ACD speakers, and supports all USB 2.0 functions including use of the iSight camera.



The C247DL allows PC users to enjoy the best gaming experience possible. Users with PC's equipped with high-end graphic cards such as AMD Radeon and NVIDIA can now enjoy playing on the exceptionally rich and life-like ACD.

The C247DL is available now for $149 at KanexLive.com/C247DL.

$149 seems excessive for DP support . . .

Jobs would allow this?! Letting users with ancient Macs to gaze upon a new ACD without first upgrading to the latest Mac Pro, iMac or Macbook?

True but couldn't you also afford one of the newer Macs as well ?
