Cinema Displays for Pc's

[Xoidie]

Can you hook up the apple cinema displays to a desktop pc?
do you need special cables.

They are DVI so they will work with a PC yes.

Cinema displays use DVI-D, won't that pose a problem?

Why would they?

If it's an older Cinema Display, you'll want to make sure it's not ADC. If it is, you'll need a converter.

Keep in mind that with cinema displays, you may not be able to see your bios screen, so if you do frequent changes in the bios, you won't be able to make them.

I have Apple 30" running system signature, and I see everything fine, games look freaking nice, really like this Display so much I may possibly buy the next generation 32" due out Mac World '08

I've got the 23" DVI display with my PC... works flawlessly, Bios and all.

It only affects older ATI cards (I know first hand for it happen to me) that you can't see the bios, but you'll still be able to use the monitor.

there's no doubt that the Cinema displays are very nice LCDs, but (IMO) there's no way in hell they are worth what Apple thinks they are.

almost $2K for a 30" Apple Cinema when one can buy a Dell 30" for roughly $700 less? come on Apple, what are you guys smoking?

No kidding. Especially when Dell uses the same exact panel as the Apple Cinema Displays do.
