probably won't see one going the other way for a while, if ever (at
least from Apple),
Display port will allow a DVI & VGA signal through to a non Display
Port monitor but to plug a DVI or VGA port in to a Display Port
monitor you'd need some active device that will allow encoding of
analogue and/or decoding/recoding of DVI in to Display port digital
signal.

The first thing I thought when I heard about the new 24" display,
with the
iMac styling, was - Wow - what a really nice 2 display set-up you
could have
with this sat next to a 24" iMac.
However, all the Apple blurb touts this as a laptop display - no
mention of
using it as a second screen or screen for say a MacPro.
Presumably, this is because it uses a new "mini display port" which
is only
compatible with the new laptops - though they may offer adaptors
when the
displays ship (at present the only adaptors seem to be for the
laptops "mini
display port" to allow you to use a dvi or vga monitor).
I know apple are still selling the 23" cinema display - but the new
24"
looks to be a so much better match with the 24" iMacs!!
So.. what can we expect? New adaptors/cables or a new iMac with the
new
"mini display port"?
Any thoughts?
Cheers
Neil
