    With the alienware 18 , u can use mini displayport to displayport. U can also use hdmi and customize resolution on nvidia settings. But u will need to lower refresh rate to 30hz.
    So mini displayport to displayport is best option. Only the u2713h can support 2560x1450 on his hdmi ouput, but it is also 200$ more...

    You can find it anywhere online. I don't live in the US so don't know local stores.

    On Amazon for example, You can try Newegg maybe?

    You will need the adapter listed above for it to work on that resolution.
