    I am thinking about purchasing the Apple 30" LCD Display that has a native resolution of 2560x1600. Does any one know if the DVI output of the Acer 8204 can support that resoultion? I scrolled throug the options and dont really see it (max 2048x1536)...but wonder if the option would be available if the display is connected to it. Thanks in advance for the help! Oh yeah...Blue Ray...on the 8210...be cool if it can be used on the 8204

    Cheers

    I don't see why not since it has the same base GPU, X1600, 128mb vs. 256mb, as the mBp - though you'll need a dual link DVI:

    Dual-Link DVI
    At 2560 x 1600 resolution, the 30-inch Cinema HD Display requires dual-link DVI connectivity. Dual-link support is standard on the MacBook Pro, 15-inch and 17-inch PowerBook G4 and each configuration of the Mac Pro and Power Mac G5. The advanced NVIDIA Quadro FX 4500 and ATI Radeon X1900 XT graphics options for the Mac Pro even drives the ultimate creative canvas: two 30-inch Cinema HD Displays, delivering over 8 millions pixels
