Hey

Currently have a 2008 15 inch MBP attached to a 30 inch ACD.

Am going to buy a new 15 inch MPB and use that with the 30 inch ACD.

Am going to pass on my 2008 15 inch MBP to a colleague, but she doesn't want to use a 30 inch screen.

Can I buy a 24 inch LCD and connect it to a 2008 15 inch MBP, or are the two incompatible?

Thanks
 
Almost very display is compatible with the MBP.

You just need the appropriate adapter.

But I assume (vaguely guessing), that you meant the Apple LED 24" Cinema Display, which has a mDP input?
There is this pricey adapter for that:

Many thanks for the reply - that's exactly what I meant and exactly what I was looking for.

Cheers! :D
