[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 917849, member: 56379"] Apple displays usually sell for more than other brand displays...so IMHO $70 is an ok price for a 17" Apple LCD...I would probably like it closer to $50. One thing to know about older monitors like this...they have a VERY slow response time (compared to "modern" LCD computer displays)...which basically means these monitors are not very good for playing games, watching action scenes in DVD movies...or playing internet videos. Otherwise it's fine. I actually would not recommend that you purchase this monitor. First of all it is not an Apple Cinema Display...it is an Apple Studio Display. There was no 17" Cinema Display. This display has an ADC connector...which is a very Non-standard conector...and only works with certain Apple video cards. This monitor gets its power from the computer via the video card (it has no power cord)...so if you want to use this monitor with another computer without an ADC connector on the video card...then you have to purchase a $99 adapter to get this monitor to work. [url=http://store.apple.com/us/product/M8661LL/B?fnode=MTY1NDA5OQ&mco=MTA4MzU1OTI]Apple DVI to ADC Adapter - Apple Store (U.S.)[/url] As far as the computer...remember my brief statement above to your initial question about buying it: [b]Go for it!:)[/b] Now maybe you understand why I was so brief & concise!;) - Nick [/QUOTE]
