Which adapter will allow me to connect my Mac mini to my Apple Studio 15″ monitor?
Tuesday, August 4, 2009 / Displays
I just bought a Mac Mini from PowerMax, and, when I finally got around to setting it up today, I discovered that the cable from my Apple Studio 15-inch monitor is too wide for the slot on the Mac Mini. The adapter that came in the box isn’t the right one. What sort of adapter do I need?
Thank you,

Because the Apple ADC based LCD displays received their power from the ADC port on the older Macs, you will need more than a simple cable adapter. You need the powered Apple DVI to ADC Display Adapter.
You could also consider getting a newer LCD display, like this Acer 19″ display, that is bigger for just a little more than the powered adapter.
