Stupid question - how to connect Mac Mini to 20" Cinema Display?

[macdude2]

What kind of cord would I use to do this? A DVI to VGA? I can't find any kind of decent information on the Apple site.

Looking to connect a new Mac Mini to a Cinema 23" display.

Also, can this type of cord be purchased on the Apple site, or is it included in either of the boxes?

Are you talking about an intel Mini? If so, I believe they have DVI, so you should be able to hook it up just fine.

Use Dvi cable from the 23" display for best image

Yes, an Intel Mini.

Does Apple sell this cable from their store? Link?

I guess it would just be called a DVI to DVI cable?

Yes; did the Cinema display not come with one? This is the Apple display with the aluminium bezel, correct?

The cable comes standard...

The current cinema display should already have a DVI cable attached.

If you are talking about an older cinema displays (plastic ones), they use a special Apple connection (ADC). The URL to this piece of expensive cable is: http://store.apple.com/1-800-MY-APPLE/WebObjects/AppleStore.woa/wa/RSLID?mco=6C04E099&nplm=M8661LL/B


Hope this helps!

It should come with the Cinema Display.

You see - I haven't purchased it yet. But I'm looking to buy. The "In The Box" section for both products was vauge at best as far as A/V cables went.

So it comes with one - great.

This can now be closed, thanks for all your help everyone!
