Some monitors include cables (My Dell 2407WFP and 2408WFP came with vga
and dvi cables (for the 2407WFP) and vga, dvi and displayport cables
for the 2408WFP). Cheap monitors often only include VGA. DVI cables
are not that expensive at your local computer store. Single link
DVI should work for up to 27" (1920x1200 resolution) while dual link
DVI cables are required for the 30" LCDs (2560x1600 resolution).
So the dual link port on the laptop should work fine with a single link
cable to a monitor that isn't a 30" monster. The 30" monsters come
with cables.
