I was surprised to find, on initial examination, that it is not possible to use an Apple Mac Desktop Monitor with another machine say a Dell laptop or an IBM think pad. Does anyone have this set up successfully. How did you go about it.
You'll need to use the appropriate adapter DVI / mini-DVI (there's more than one kind) on one end for the external monitor, SVGA for the Windoze laptop.
The on-line Apple store, a high-street Apple dealer, Peats or Maplins are usually reliable sources. Take the part-number off the label on the back of the monitor with you or refer to the user manual.
