Hi, I've been looking around and couldn't find anything on this: I just wanted to know if someone's knows anything about an adapter for a mini displayport out (on the new cinema displays). What I want is to connect one of the new cinema displays to my black macbook. I guess there's no adapter like this out no - but do you think there ever will be?
 
Okey, I just kind of thought this was kind of apple's deal - and if anyone was going to make them it had to be them...but if someone else can make the cinema displays more available I'm all up for it
 
ghey

i think a lot of people are waiting for this adapter. all of the dvi desktops and notebooks out there and FINALLY a new display from apple...yet it is incompatible. with the new stand-alone graphics upgrade kit out now, i don't see apple coming out with an adapter. why let people use the $900 display they have been waiting for years to buy for $50 when you can sell them an internal upgrade for $350? They will even let me install it myself, unlike a wifi upgrade.

i don't know how long i can wait for an adapter. i don't know if it's even possible to do that, i assume it is if you can go the opposite way.

i may end up having to go with a 3rd party display.
