Host compatibility and connection notes
The source GPU must support dual-link DVI at 2560 × 1600 and the cable must have all dual-link conductors. Single-link DVI or ordinary passive HDMI/DisplayPort adapters may not deliver the native mode. USB hub requires a separate upstream cable.
These monitors are from the CCFL-backlight era. Assess lamp aging, color shift, burn-in/retention claims carefully and document unit condition; do not open the chassis without high-voltage training.
Preservation notes
Record the rear-label model, serial/date code, included stand/accessories, tested input, source timing, image condition and calibration state. Keep the matching manual and cable/adaptor chain with the unit; use qualified service procedures for internal work.
