[QUOTE="Senz, post: 1184212, member: 50743"] Hi all, Please excuse my naivety here - I'm quite new to all things apple... As the title suggests, I've got a 13" Macbook. I have just taken on some freelance work which will mean I need a bigger screen, so I went steaming ahead and bought a 20" cinema display from eBay. Not my greatest move ever as the previous owner is using the power cable (I think) to power from his current computer after upgrading the graphics card. So, in short, please could you advise which cables/connectors I will need to make this screen work with my Macbook? I will need to buy everything, but just not sure what I'll need as it would seem that there are different cables for different generation of machines and I have NO idea! My Macbook was purchased new from apple in 2008. Any help would be greatly appreciated... I really want to be able to use this asap to help me earn my living. Thanks in advance. [/QUOTE]
