no effect on the resolution, but logic says that any conversion has the potential to add loss or corruption to the signal.
not sure about the "dual link". i just had i think a thunderbolt to dvi connector, and it plugged in. so easy i didnt really notice details, and the screen is sharp and crisp. i would think about ray's recommendation, though, as the things he mentions I dont know if I would even notice. I still have a 27" tube tv at home, not even hd. so take my visual requirements with a grain of salt.
