    Anyone? Surface Pro 3 (or recent Win8 portables) via MiniDP > Dual Link DVI 1440p | 1600p Display?

    Has anyone used a Surface Pro 3 (or other recent Win8 portable laptop/notebook/tablet pc) via MiniDP/ DP to run a Dual Link DVI D - QHD / WQHD monitor - 2560 x 1440p | 1600p
    via
    a Mini DisplayPort to Dual Link DVI D Adapter

    Which of these would work?

    Previously people have recommended/ used Active Adapters like these.. (for Apple Cinema/ 1440p / 1600p displays). Anyone use one of these?

    These new one seems to support 4K resolutions but not sure if they will drive Dual Link DVI @ s2560 x 1440p | 1600p. Any experiences/ thoughts?
