For nearly every monitor at this price you're going to need a MDP>DVI adapter. You could probably find something cheaper at Monoprice, but for something so (relatively) inexpensive I generally stick with brand names (in case it's wonked I can just run to the nearest Apple Store).

Monoprice ftmfw otherwise.

* An aside: we need more thread necromancy like this one. Tech is one thing we're all passionate about and can have lively discussion.
Ah, perfect, thanks guys. I've had a good experience with a Dell too. Gave it to my brother-in-law after getting an iMac G5 in 2005 (it was three years old by then) and he still uses it. Between the one linked by DMBand0026 and this one the price difference for me is twenty bucks. I'll look at the reviews tonight, but at the moment assume the newer model is a good bet for that difference.

Thanks also for the scoop on Monoprice (what a name!). Wish it was closer.

Apple store price here: Adaptateur Mini DisplayPort vers DVI

CHF 32.00 (that's 35 bucks!); Mono has it for 14.

Thanks again all.
