External Display for MacBook Pro

[sactolady]

My boss is purchasing a 15" MacBook Pro. She wants to use an external desktop display. Our financial officer won't pay $899 for the Apple 24" LED display, and asks me to find something compatible for under $300. Since I don't know anything about Mac (I'm a PC), please tell me what monitors are compatible with a MacBook Pro.

Any monitor should work just fine. You'll just need a MiniDisplayPort->DVI adapter (or possibly MiniDisplayPort->VGA, but only if the monitor only has VGA input, which is unlikely). They are $29 from Apple.

skip the adapter from Apple and order the one from monoprice.com It works just as good and costs a ton less. Also, check out the dell website for monitors there, as the monitors offer good value for the price.
