sorry for the long winded title (and long winded post no doubt).
i want to give my eyes a bit of a rest from the glossy mbp screen so was thinking of dusting off my old 23in cinema display to use as an external monitor. now i appreciate this is going to be fiddly and i've already been given a powered converter and some cables, but i need a couple more and i'm not sure what now. i think i need a mini dvi to dvi, then a dvi to vga to connect to the converter. is this right? anyone running a similar set up? one thing i'm slightly concerned about is potential quality loss with all the different cables and converters - is this an issue?
do i just sell the cinema display and get a dell 2209wa or something similar?
many thanks, any help appreciated.
