Your monitor has DVI-D Dual Link port and the cable has DVI-D single link connector.. The cable will work, but not as well as a DVI-D Dual Link, or at the resolution you may want to use the monitor... read the detailed description.

What is the difference between DVI single link and dual link?

I just corrected the previous answer... go through it again and check the correponding images. So, the cable does work with the limitation I described... Aside from having typed "DVD-I" which I corrected to "DVI-D" the description I gave before still applies.
