Re: Question regarding non-mac monitors/display
Hello, Quick question, request for advice. I was wondering what are some of the pros and cons and/or pieces ( cables/etcŠ) that I would need to hook up a non-apple display to a G5 Quad? Is this even possible? The monitor I am looking at does have a DVI port. Thanks in advance. I recently bought a Dell 20" flat wide screen monitor for my G4. Works perfectly and it was a great deal at $112.00 delivered. If Apple monitors were that inexpensive, I would rather have gone with one of thembut you know the drill. So the pros: Price and performance The Cons: none --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are a member of G-Group, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.

I was wondering what are some of the pros and cons and/or pieces ( cables/etc…) that I would need to hook up a non-apple display to a G5 Quad? Is this even possible? The monitor I am looking at does have a DVI port. Thanks in advance. _ Hi Kurt, All you need is a DVI-DVI cable and that's it. Pros are that non-Apple monitors are cheaper Cons are that you need to check the quality is OK for your needs. That's all.
