Mac-only monitor? One only has to look back a little bit for the
"17 inch Apple Studio LCD". Has an Apple-only digital video
interface. Is damn cool. One cable has everything including
power, USB, and a couple of control switches which are apparently
light sensors. Only one plug at the end of the cable. Does a lot
for cleaning up cable clutter.
Yeah, the DVI is nice. But, like Firewire, there are DVI cards for
PC's. Unlike the old style Mac only monitors, which used the old
Apple 9 (?) pin cable.
My Dual G4-867 has whatever ATI 9xxx upgrade option Apple offered.
One DVI port for one display, and one "ADC" port for another. The
Apple 17" Studio Display requires the ADC, Apple Display Connector,
which includes power, USB, video, everything. Is the ADC of which I
speak, not DVI.
Original Macintosh color CRTs used a plain DB15 connector rather than
the "lets invent something new" high density 3-row 15 pin connector
introduced for VGA. Otherwise there was very little difference. One
used 0.6 volts drive, the other 0.7. Later VESA (?) enhanced VGA
standards with a means of identifying a monitor's capabilities over
the interface cable.
