Well, the stereo TVs and such are hardly something an average Joe will buy. Also, the markup on this "specialty", "niche", whatever equipment is such that the cost of the converter is negligible compared to that. The deal is more to force the users to buy only the vendor's proprietary equipment, to bilk even more cash from them. E.g. Nvidia is shipping the same hardware as Quadro and GeForce, except that the latter is crippled so that they can command premium for the Quadro - pure profit. > Does this still apply if you run DVI to an lcd monitor ??

I have yet to see a dual link screen. I have a large 24" panel 1920x1680 and it doesn't need dual link. It runs at 60 Hz as any other LCD just fine.
