    the mini displayport to dvi adapter from apple won't help you since it's the wrong direction, you need a dvi to mini displayport, and that requires power to make the conversion from what i understand. PS. they remodeled the at-dp200, it's got a plastic enclosure and now has short tails on it...

    Apple 30" cinema or NEC 2490wuxibksv?

    i wish you luck. i did read mostly the same that the refurbs were good so you'll probably be ok, but i did also come across a few horror stories and decided against buying a refurb monitor. however the 30 inch new is a bit hefty in price, so i can see your angle on things here as well. hope it...

    which are the pc monitors with same picture quality as the new imac?

    I just picked up a 24" ACD w/ atlona at-dp200 for my pc and i love it. there are some downsides but image quality, response time, color do not seem to be one of them. (im not a heavy gamer anymore but have not had any issues playing fps style games or other) you can use the imac as a monitor...

    hmm but that converter needs to be powered from what i'm reading. besides, i think that Gefen one is MDP source to DVI and not DVI source to MDP which is what we would need. i've not found any others to this point, one other that is about to be released but not ready for retail yet apparently
