[QUOTE="bobtomay, post: 1473222, member: 24160"] Has nothing to do with "apple" adapters. "All" such adapters will be the same, no matter who makes them. It has to do with the displayport technology. A displayport signal is "not" compatible with DVI. It gets sort of technical, but the displayport to DVI adapters convert the displayport signal to a DVI signal. This is not just a change in the type of plug being used. They each carry a different type of signal. There do not exist at this time, any adapter/converter that I am aware of, that will convert a DVI signal to a displayport signal. If you wish to get technical about why it won't work, you can get started learning more about displayport [URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DisplayPort"]here[/URL]. [/QUOTE]
