What is the advantage of Dual link DVI over HDMI? HDMI seems like a such a simple standard for high-def content, I'd be tempted to place an order for one of these if it was connected via HDMI...

HyrrokinMight be wrong, but I think hdmi has more lag, which is bad for gaming. I know for a fact that hdmi doesnt support 120hz but I guess that doesnt matter in this case.

HyrrokinBandwidth, HDMI only supports 1920x1200, BUT the newer standard does support higher resolutions its yet to be implemented in most spaces, so its a no go.
people need to realize, that A- 1440p monitors tend to have NO circuitry in them, its literally a bread board that takes the DVI-D and send it straight to the LCD, no scaller, no input switcher, no OSD, nothing. DVI-D -> LCD (which is actually kinda good since it has 0 input lag)

HyrrokinThere is no difference except at the time that these were developed, HDMI 1.4 was around and HDMI 1.4 couldn't handle higher resolutions and refresh rates, so DVI was prefered

HyrrokinDual Link DVI gives you higher potential frame rates and can more easily support higher resolution when compared to HDMI. If you are planning on hooking up a home entertainment system HDMI is a great choice especially sense it can output sound. The down side with HDMI is that it tends to have lower frame rates with resolutions exceeding 1080p. A great alternative to HDMI is Display Port which gives you both the strengths of HDMI and Dual Link DVI. In the end it really depends on what you plan on using your display for and if features like frame rates and digital sound output matter to you.
