I've found that to use the Cinema Display on a PC that having an ATI Radeon 7200, or better, video card is an advantage. I've also found that the 20 inch display in by far crisper that the 23 inch. You might need the DVI to ADC converter to connect you PC to the display. The converter can be purchase via apples site...<BR>

<PRE><FONT COLOR="#737373"><I>hello,
a month or so ago, our IT dept bought a bunch of new Apple Cinema
Displays for our office. we all use linux/unix machines here, and
after about a week of not getting the displays to work with Redhat 9,
they gave up and decided to get Power Macs to use with the displays.
well, it took a month for me to realize that i like linux much better
than os x (gimmie back my kde and gnu stuff, damnit! ;) and now i want
a linux machine again. the problem is that i just can't part with this
beautiful monitor! granted the IT guys failed, but i'm >sure< there is
a way to get this monitor to work with fedora core 1...anyone have any
success?
correct me if my terminology is wrong or whatever. but its a DV
monitor and only accepts DV input. so to use with a standard SVGA
graphics card, i need some kinda converter cable or a video card with
DV output. can anyone suggest a good, cheap video card to do this? or
should i not bother and go with the converting cable?
the problem the IT guys had was with the xserver (of course). the
display worked fine until the xserver started, then it just displayed a
bunch of noise.</I></FONT></PRE>
