    Hi guys,

    I've notice that G1S/G2S both have the DVI-D plug at the back, but is it a dual-link DVI ? I would like to hook up the notebook to a 30" Dell in the office which needs the dual-link.
    I guess one easy way to check if it can do dual-link is to see if the 2nd monitor can support the 2560x1600 resolution.

    Thanks

    Ted

    No DVI port per se on the G1S... it has an HDMI port. You then can use an HDMI/DVI adapter cable. I believe HDMI is single-link DVI.
