Perhaps that's why they're £200?

Also, they don't work with some video cards (I know my Radeon 5750 has occasional trouble syncing with my HP LP2475W for some reason, but that's single-link DVI only. I imagine these monitors are dual-link DVI displays?)

Of course they're cheap for a reason. I was just a little bit interested in the technical details of what causes a display like this to fail.

And yes, these monitors are dual-link dvi only.

Just to be clear: the 5750 is supposed to be dual-link capable, but the ebay sellers for these monitors all seem to state that they don't work with the 5750 (nor a bunch of other ATI & NVidia graphics cards of similar vintage).
