I'm think they mean that the connector is dual-link compatible, so you can use a dual-link cable if you have one. However the DVI receiver is only single link, which is all that the monitor requires. There is no advantage to using dual link if the monitor resolution does not require it.

K, how bout on a 2407..any benefit on using a dual link cable? 

same for the 2407, the 3007 is the only one that needs the extra bandwidth.

Standards. You make everything to be as compatible as possible. Think what would happen if it wasn't. What happens if you have a dual link graphics card? You want it to only work with dual link monitors? That would be a mess.

It would actually be more work to make single link not work with dual. Single link monitors just don't see the second link at all. So they don't even know it is there. The second link is on a separate set of pins that are not connected in single link monitors.

If you are asking about cables. Again why make it more difficult? You can buy a dual link cable and use it on both monitor types. Why would you want to have to buy different cables?
