Hi

I bought a monitor to go with our mac mini. We were told we simply needed a £10 adaptor but we are not sure which one we need to go for.

Can anyone help please

It looks like it's an Apple monitor that you bought. It should have both a VGA and DVI input. Therefore, you would need to purchase a mini DVI to DVI adapter from Apple and probably a DVI cable if one was not already included with the monitor.

If the monitor only has a VGA input, you would then need a mini DVI to VGA adapter instead. And of course the longer VGA cable which would attach to the monitor. All adapters are available at your local Apple store.

Regards.
