23" DVI cinema display 1920 x 1200 16:10 Single-Link DVI

whats the max resolution for a 23" dvi cinema display
https://everymac.com/monitors/apple/studio_cinema/specs/apple_cinema_display_23.html

The maximum (and native) resolution for both the aluminum and the earlier polycarbonate 23" Apple Cinema HD Displays is 1920 x 1200.

Since this is a 16:10 aspect ratio display, it provides a bit more vertical screen real estate than a standard 1080p (1920 x 1080) monitor.

The resolution of 1920 x 1200 is most commonly known as WUXGA, which stands for Widescreen Ultra Extended Graphics Array.

While it shares the same width as the more common 1080p (Full HD) resolution, it is slightly taller. Here are a few ways it is categorized:

Aspect Ratio: It uses a 16:10 aspect ratio. This was the professional standard for high-end monitors and laptops for years before the 16:9 (1920 x 1080) "widescreen" standard became the dominant consumer format.

Total Pixels: It contains roughly 2.3 million pixels. This provides about 11% more vertical screen real estate than 1080p, which is particularly helpful for productivity tasks like coding, video editing, or viewing two documents side-by-side.

Common Use Cases: You will mostly find this resolution on business-class monitors (like the Dell UltraSharp series) and ruggedized or older "pro" laptops.

In some technical contexts, it may also be referred to simply as 1200p.

Key Technical Specs:
Resolution: 1920×1200 pixels

Aspect Ratio: 16:10

Interface: Single-Link DVI (for the aluminum A1082 model) or ADC (for the older M8537 polycarbonate model).

Pixel Density: 98.4 ppi

Compatibility Note
While the larger 30-inch model requires a Dual-Link DVI connection to reach its full resolution, the 23-inch model works perfectly at its maximum resolution using a standard Single-Link DVI cable or adapter. If you are using a modern Mac or PC, a simple USB-C to DVI or HDMI to DVI adapter will typically drive it at the full 1920 x 1200 without issues.
