It is just another interconnect standard. Looks very close to HDMI but with three square corners and one bevelled one as opposed to two square corners and two bevelled ones. There is a display port socket on the bottom of your U2711 if you look. If you already have the dual-link DVI cables in and working - there is no benefit for you unless you want to use the audio ports on the monitor (which can be a pain in the proverbial to get going depending on what your GPU drivers decide to do re presenting it to Windows). -- *David Connors* | da...@codify.com | www.codify.com Codify Pty Ltd Phone: +61 (7) 3210 6268 | Facsimile: +61 (7) 3210 6269 | Mobile: +61 417 189 363 V-Card: https://www.codify.com/cards/davidconnors Address Info: https://www.codify.com/contact
