Exactly. I'm sitting right in front of one of these LCDs, and it works 
with 154MHz pixel clock for 1920x1200 at 60Hz (The limit of DVI is either 
165MHz or 170MHz). I can play Quake 3A at that resolution, but for 
Doom3, the GPU performance is not enough (I don't have and need a 
gaming graphics card). Bigger monitors like Apples 30" or IBMs highres 
panel need a dual-link DVI connector (in the case of IBM, they also 
reduce the update frequency to 30Hz to drive 9 megapixel).
