Do Mac monitors work with PC'S??

[high st]

my monitor on the way out

what are the best monitors you can get?? i know the Mac ones are good, anything else worth lookin at??

 

[heavily weighted]

I don't think you could buy just the screen for Mac. It comes with the whole system.

Unless you can get the monitors of Mac pro.

 

[darthska]

No.

But they prevent cancer for everyone that looks at them, so that's a plus.

I keed, I keed.

I have no idea.

The Cinema displays are nothing special, especially not for the price they go for.

This coming from a 30" ACD owner.

nah you can get the screens seperate...the bigger ones...pretty sure anyway.

 

[presequel]

yes you can buy monitors separate.

yes they can work with pc's

yes they are overpriced, and you can get a dell one for much cheaper.....but it wont look as good.

most of them use a DVI connector. so, before wasting all that money, make sure you have a DVI connection on your video card for the best performance.otherwise, you can buy a DVI to VGA adapter.

They should. It's like asking if HD DVD Player will work with Sony TV.

i read somewhere that it would be cheaper to buy a samsung monitor, since they make them for dell anyway. but, just what i read.. not 100% sure

im thinkin Mac cuz i do illustration and stuff and all the corny design types use Macs.

i think the display is supposed to better for colour an all that too...gotta do some research i suppose

 

[trueshotaura]

yes it would work but you wouldn't have access to calibrate your screen. The Apple Cinema Displays don't allow you to configure any components otherthan changing the brightness. I'm a hardcore Apple user but I still go to dell with displays. Apple displays have been riddled with problems. STAY AWAY

All of the above is true. I really can't believe this question was asked.

 

[high st]

good to hear....wasnt tryin to pay that kind of money really.

and for a apple product!! thats just insult to injury

 

[tdrizzle]

what size are you looking at getting- or - how much do you look at spending on one.

 

[kidposite]

...then why did you ask

 

[jayman2k5]

Yeh they do work with PC's, we have the 20 and 23 inch screens and they are nice..........but we do get them for free.

If you're worried go with Dell, from what I've been told they're basically made by the same people

 

[dunkaroos]

Aren't all monitors the same?

Word on the street is that the LCD panels used in the Dell come from the same supplier as Apple.
