My Achieva Shimian has just arrived however I need some advice.
Due to my office layout my 600T SE is about 2.5 metres away from the actual screen. As a result earlier in the year I purchased a 3 metre dual link DVI cable - http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=CB-067-OK - (I specifically got a dual link cable as I knew I'd be getting an Achieva Shimian sooner or later).
However the monitor refuses to acknowledge this cable at all and the blue light just flashes. If I use the supplied cable (roughly 1.5 metres in length) then the monitor works fine but it's simply not long enough to use on an ongoing basis.
Is there a maximum length that a dual link cable can be or is the 3 metre cable I purchased earlier in the year faulty?
