Is this the right cable?
  1 / 3    
Hey, just need some help with sorting out the right cables for my monitor (syncmaster 2233 ),

[url="http://www.amazon.co.uk/2-Port-DVI-D-Switch-Audio/dp/B000IAI57C/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1272491485&sr=8-1"]http://www.amazon.co.uk/2-Port-DVI-D-Switc...1485&sr=8-1[/url]

I found this a/b box and its perfect as i am wanting to run my ps3 through the monitor aswell as the pc so i can just switch channels with it, only problem is, i am unsure whether nvidia's 3d vision from my computer will still work being run with this box in the chain from pc to monitor. It is also available as a part of a deal where you get a dvi to dvi cable and a hdmi to dvi cable which would be able to complete the circuit, but will it still be able to run pc games in 3d through this setup?

thanks

Well, the cable your link points to will NOT work with the Samsung 2233RZ for 3D Vision as it is only a DVI-D single link cable. For 3D Vision you require a Dual=Link DVI-D cable.
But, didn't you get a Dual-Link DVI-D cable bundled with your Samsung 2233RZ monitor ?
If so, I should think that your Switch SHOULD work out.

hmm... I should think so; the DVI-D port is clearly visible on the Switch.
But I can't be sure, so do a Google search or wait for some Pro to answer.
[b]If no one answers,[/b] why don't you just go for it and take a chance, it doesn't seem too expensive and there's a 90% chance it will work out :) .

Im after a serious answer here, it must be a simple question for someone who knows about this sort of subject.
