Buying a new computor with 2x MSI ATI Radeon HD 6950 Twin FrozR II OC 2048MB in crossfire and it has the following Display Connectors: 2 Dual-Link DVI-I, 1 HDMI & 2x Mini-DisplayPort, and i'm not too sure what dual link DVI-I connectors are, from my current 4850 i have a DVI to DVI-D cable going to my HANNspree monitor, is it that sort of cable?

and i thought i might as well ask all my questions in one go, planning to do a 3x1 landscape eyefinity setup and i'm looking for monitors to play FPS games on but each time i read an article about "whats important in a monitor" it says that the numbers are missleading a 2ms responce time monitor can be worse than a 8ms responce monitor and that a contrast ratio os 2,000,000:1 monitor can have worse colors than a 3000:1 monitor and that the best way is to get actual oppinions from people which isnt the easyest thing to do when you arent sure where to begin to look.

Just like everyone else i'm looking for thin Bezels, but i'm not looking to do anything to void the waranty on the monitor so small as standard without taking anything off and also monitors that come with a regular stand, the Ergotech Triple Monitor Desk Stand seems nice but i have the desk space available so i'm not looking to spend extra money.

And finnally i'm looking for a full list of cables i require with the setup, i can just see my order arriving and then not having all the cables to plug it all in. Living in the UK and i havent managed to find a website with things such as a active minidisplay port adapter but i'm sure its just my lack of knowledge, maybe someone will list a monitor that can take a minidisplay input but its not required :lol:
