Hi. I am just about to take the plubge and buy a G5 DP1.8 but the thing that is really bugging me is display choice. Is it true that you can in fact use any display (with the right type of connectors obviously)? Or do you need a monitor that is apple compatible? Theoretically I realise that I can use any monitor but I can't afford to buy a monitor that won't work with the G5. I was looking in particular at the LG L1710S. Any suggestions to other monitors would also be helpful.
Thanks KaiKProd |

I just got a G5, but even with the provided adapter, I can't plug in the Apple Display from my old beige G3. The plug from the monitor seems like some kind of apple specific configuration on it. It seems to include the keyboard and mouse connections as well.
Does anyone know about an adapter that works with old G3 era Apple displays? Thanks, -Todzilla |
