My G4 iMac flatscreen inverter died. Someone gave me a 15" flatscreen Apple Studio Display (grey plastic with lines on border with plastic stand). I believe it has an ADC plug?

I was told today by the local mac store that my iMac uses a mini VGA plug and there is NO WAY I CAN CONNECT that STUDIO DISPLAY.

He then told me it woudl cost $130 for a new inverter to be installed (1hr. + parts.)

My questions:

1. Is there really NO WAY I can connect that display?

2. Is $130 a decent price for the inverter installation? (could I install/relace it myself?)

3. If I bought a cheapo 15" flatscreen to connect to it could it be done stock or would I be looking at an adapter? (Right now I am borrowing a neighbors old CRT using a VGA mini adapter to reg. VGA.)

Thanks!
