Advice / suggestions for using the 23” Cinema HD Display with an M4 Mac Mini

[JanetTheGreat]

Anyone have any advice for using the 23” Cinema HD Display with an M4 Mac Mini? I might buy one eventually and I am wondering if anyone around here uses one, or has used one recently, and how one can get it to work with a modern mac.

Would the 2003-2007 Wireless Keyboard and Mouse work with the M4 Mac Mini? Or the Wired Models (of the early 2000s)?

If I am unable to get a Mac Pro (or not wanting), then the next best thing would be using that era display, mouse and keyboard with my M4 Mac Mini.

Saw this post that might be useful.

I've not used the older wireless keyboards in a while, but I do remember hearing of some issues. Function keys, maybe? I don't recall exactly. Having the new Touch ID keyboard is really handy, though!

Don't they have adapters? I wouldn't wanna take it apart since I wouldn't wanna damage it accidentally.

There… WERE adapters. Not to HDMI directly, that I’m aware of, but you could get a HDMI to DVI adapter and then scour eBay for an old, long-discontinued DVI to ADC adapter.

Or you could just buy a new, higher-resolution display for probably around the same price.
