You'll need the Mini DVI to DVI adapter ($19.00 @ Apple)...

Then you'll need to know what connections your LCD has.
Depending on that, you'll either need a DVI-to-DVI or DVI-to-HDMI, etc..

You could also save some money and use a mini-DVI to VGA adapter instead of using a more expensive DVI cable.
