Have 15" ADC and a DVI port on video card

[jkaz]

I'm aware of the $99 apple solution(i believe it's a solution)

are there others?

i have a 15" ADC flat and want to connect to the open dvi port on my upgraded video card in a quicksilver g4

any help would be thanks!

i've looked into this before, the only solution is the $99 cable.

thanks for the response,

did you try it?

OWC at one time had another similar component for $79.99. It's no longer available for sale.

It'd probably be a better investment just to get a LCD that supports DVI then spending $99 for the adapter to use the 15" one.

I have 3 of the DVI to ADC adapters in my department. They work just fine.

I like Acer, Samsung, and Gateway. I can't give any opinions for professional quality LCD's.

Practically every LCD in my department is a Dell 17" one though.

the reviews for the adapter on apple's webpage are horrifying!

Most of the complaints are over Apple's usage of ADC and its compatibility.

I'll agree that they do run hot though.

some of the complaints were that the usb no longer functions properly... any experiences with that?

None on any of my adapters.
