[question] Apple's Cinema Dispays

Hi there !

Does anyone if the Apple's Cinema Displays are compatible with PCs and Vice Versa (PC screens compatible with G5s ?)

The Apple Cinema displays have a connector unique to Apple computers. You will need to get a ADC (Apple Display Connector) to VGA connector converter. Some higher end graphics card may have the ADC connector already built into it.

All CRTs and LCDs are compatable with Apple computers.

Ermmm.......the *old* cinema displays have the proprietary ADC connector. All of the *new* aliminum displays are DVI only....
