According to the product overview it does:
"supporting resolutions of up to 1080p for HD Input, and 1600x1200 for PC 
input."

I got the idea that they are reselling it.  It's more expensive on the 
StarTech.com although Dell is out of stock.  I was mostly trying to say 
that something along those lines is what I probably need to get.  At any 
rate, it looks like I'm going to need either a VGA to DVI converter box 
similar to this or a docking station with DVI output along with a DVI to 
HDMI cable.  Just hooking some cables and adapters together just isn't 
going to cut it.  I wonder if the docking station puts the audio into the 
DVI plug or if it's just video.
