[SOLVED] Will any dual-link DVI cable work with my ASUS VG278 monitor?

[Ali_229]

I have an ASUS VG278 144Hz monitor and was thinking about replacing the DVI cable for it since I think it's faulty. Will any dual-link DVI cable work with it (such as this DVI-D 24+1 dual-link cable) or do I need a specific cable from ASUS?

Third-party DVI cables will work fine provided you buy the correct type.

So any dual-link DVI calble will work?

If you're sure that's the type of cable you need for your monitor & GPU ports, yes.

Don't buy cheap though. Whilst cables of the same spec & type may all look the same, cheap ones are made of inferior materials which can cause early failure or poor monitor signal.
