I got a MAC monitor.... but how the heck do I hook it up? It's got two usb plugs and a DVI cord... I need to figure out how to get power to it, and convert the DVI to VGA. Thanks.

Wait... really? I can't use it with my PC? I am not against having a FREE mac monitor... but I do not want a mac :Drogar-BigGrin(DBG)

if the mac screen is DVD-D only then you cant adapt VGA to it.

an anti mac user gets a free mac monitor? wheres the justice in that? give it to someone who can make real use out of it in HD editing.
 
Brandon which model and or version do you have?

Is it one of the new Cinema Displays?

I have several at my job and i'll snap some pictures of what you need to buy and how to hook it up.
 
WTF? He is looking for cable to power his monitor but how he can view the forum here?

...i know lame joke!

It's an OLDER model... not LCD... it's a 17 inch... blueish looking... I can take a pic, but's it's at my house.
 
Better gamma than windows? How do ya figure?

Don't the mac monitors provide power over the same cable the image signal is sent over? I don't think it will work with a PC.
