[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 1148851, member: 56379"] Going from an ADC to mini-display port is going to be tough. - ADC to VGA...yes. - ADC to DVI...yes. ...but ADC to mini-display port...that's a tough one...and to be honest...I don't think that cable ever existed (at least I've not seen one). You may be able to "Frankenstein" a combination of adapters...but you need to remember on VERY important thing...that single ADC cable from your Cinema Display provides both video and power to the monitor...and I pretty seriously doubt that mini-display ports are capable of that. - Nick p.s. The adapter that Harry mentioned above that adapts ADC to DVI (and provides power for the display)...costs at least $99 dollars...and probably more now that they are no longer available. p.p.s. This is what I'm talking about: [URL]http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00011KHT2/?tag=macforums0e4-20[/URL] [/QUOTE]
