minidisplay port

Hi all, I've been searching around the net for days and i have had no luck even google couldn't help me to a degree.

I have been looking at getting a 24" Cinema display for my macbook as i have started editing more and more photos, the only thing is i don't want to buy a monitor that will only work just on my macbook ( just incase a new form of display output comes along which it seems to at the moment, meaning i am stuck with a £500 + display ) and i want to upgrade to that.

I've searched around for a female display connection for mini displayport to HDMI/DVI/VAG so on and so forth. ( I know that VGA wont output audio neither will DVI I'm just trying to find a female to another output ) all i have been able to find is Mini Displayport Female to Displayport Male Adapter Cable does anyone know where i could find one to hdmi? or does it just not exist?

The only other alternative is to buy a different monitor, but i am a big mac fan boy and love the design of the 24" display. If anyone could help me that would be great.

Thanks

Does your MacBook have Mini Display Port? If it doesn't, there's no way to get 24" LED display to work.

yes it does, its one of the new aluminum ones.

The display comes with all cables you need, no need to buy adapters or cables.

Nope. Only Macs with Mini Display Port works with 24" LED display.

ahaaaa http://www.atlona.com/pdf/pr/DVI-displayport_pr.pdf that box allows conversation from Minidisplay port to DVI allowing the 24" monitor to work with any VGA or DVI output

Are you ready to spend 799$ for monitor plus 179$ for adapter?

student discount on the monitor so im looking at around 100£ off, and all i needed to know was, if there was a conversion box existed, hopefully in the future they will produce one which does to HDMI
