I just bought the Dr Bott Digital Video Link for the 24" ACD to hook up my iMac 27" to my Xbox 360. I bought the 24" version, because I was able to get it much cheaper. But the cable included is a Displayport male --> Mini Displayport female. So I could just buy a Mini Displayport male --> Mini Displayport male or I could buy a Displayport Male to Mini Displayport Male.
The second option looks better to me, so I don't have to use 2 cables instead of one, the price is almost the same anyway. And i'm afraid of getting lag and ugly picture quality when using 2 cables.
But the problem is that most Mini-Displayport to Displayport cables don't work the other way. So the source has to be the mini displayport and the Dr Bott Digital Video Link outputs the video through the displayport, so those cables won't work.
I'm wondering of this cable works: http://estore.circuitassembly.com/p...-Adapter-Cable.html?revpage=2&setCurrencyId=4
And does anyone have expierence with it? Are there any other cables that can do this aswell?
