not true. It has one DVI connector, albeit a dual-link one (the DVI connector supports two concurrent channels).
Source: Me looking at the machine my 30" cinema display is connected to.
- nsxwolf 12y agoHuh, weird. Don't know why I thought that.
- rsynnott 12y agoInterestingly, the first one had one connector, with two DVI channels, _before dual-link DVI existed_. Remember this thing? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apple_Display_Connector http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apple_Display_Connector In principle, Apple could do something similar again, with an adaptor for two Thunderbolt 2 connectors (from separate buses!) In practice, they'll probably just wait for Displayport 1.3, tho.
- gnu8 12y agoPatently false claim. The DVI standard always included dual-link, even before Apple added USB and power connections, changed the connector, and passed it off as a unique invention of theirs.
