because I want a wide screen and they are far and few between, I am considering the Mac flat displays either a 20" or 23" but I'm NOT buying a mac so just stop right there . What I need is to know about adapting this fancy new mac plug to my VGA adapter, I've read it can be done, but I forget where, and it's a topic not much discussed it seems. Help. Thanks.

No idea! But that might be because I'm NOT Mikey and I'm not Mr.Forgetable either

Woohoo Mac's but I'm sure there are DVI-ADC adapters that work for PC, but I had always assumed that you had to run a Mac OS to use one. I'll do some research.

Which video card do you have? Just don't want you to get all the problems PC users get with the Cinema Displays...

Good luck trying to get that to work, sounds complicated and I don't even know if it works for PC.

www.gefen.com has a VGA-ADC conversion box and eyeTV has a 1.5 latency? Other than that, I don't know how it would work. Sorry
