Any monitor with a display port (DP, regular, mini, etc) will connect to any relatively newish GPU (~10+ yrs) directly with the proper display port cable. DVI hasn't been used in ages on GPUs. "Dual link" only applies to DVI (-D variety vs -I). All anyone will need is the proper DP cable. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DisplayPort However, I don't recall Apple using DP: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apple_Cinema_Display -Ed
