Just to add that for the Dual-Link DP-DVI to work, you need an active
adaptor which includes a supplementary USB power connection.Some years
ago, we purchased some from Dell, with new machines. They are
considerably more expensive than simple passive adaptors, but we have
had no problems with a stable 3D display on older screens.
An example is available here: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Dell-BizLink-Dis
