</div>Hmm, that's partially correct. =C2=A0The W500 is DP++, which does=
have HDMI/DVI<br>
signaling in the cable, so a passive converter would work.<br>

So, I stand corrected :-)<br>
<br>
But that won't drive your display at maximum resolution, as DVI-passthr=
ough<br>
is not dual-link, and HDMI passthrough would still be limited to 1920x1200<=

(on the W500, at least).<br>
