Ok soo I'm very confused at the moment.... I have an old apple screen with an ADC cable. Will this work with a DVI-D port on my PC?

Yes, this worked for me. It was an expensive fix but it worked. I had an old 2004 G5 and a 23" ADC cinema display. The G5 went out on and got a great deal on a used Mac Pro. The ADC screen and Mac Pro plugs are not compatible, found out the hard way. This unit made them compatible and allowed my to be able to use my old cinema display.

Sure, shouldn't be a problem. I've converted mine to Thunderbolt. The biggest problem overcome by using this monitor is that the power has to go through this adapter. The DVI signal is fully standard.

I do not know. I used the product to connect an old apple screen to an Apple laptop

You need a DVI to ADC adaptor. Apple doesn't make them anymore so you will have to get it from another source. I was lucky and got it through amazon. Used is fine. Don't be worried that there is one extra plug in. I don't use it and it never seemed to make a difference.

I used it for apple hd display(ADC) to my new Mac mini. It should work if your computer supports the screen resolution.

Not it will not. Apple does it again. propitiatory connector. You need anther box for 200$ if you can find it.

InfiniteRecall has the correct answer. You need an active adapter which costs extra. It'll work, but kinda pricy. At that point you might as well look for a good deal on a monitor with DisplayPort, which only needs a mini-DP to DP cable (about $10).

Why on Earth would you subject yourself to an expensive and clunky dual-DVI converter instead of just using a Displayport cable??? I see this advice all the time and it dismays me.Oh, wait. It looks like this turkey actually doesn't have a DP input?? The mind boggles. That alone disqualifies it for me, a few more bucks gets a 2713HM.

All that matters is how your connecting it. If I know my macs, you either have a Mini-DVI or MiniDisplay Port port. Regardless of which, you'll need an adapter to get the output to be DVI or HDMI, depending on the monitor your buying. Once you have the correct wires, it should work great. The only caveat I can think of is the graphics card inside your mini. Unless you have a really old mac, it should be able to output to the monitor's native resolution.

1. Are you using a DVI input and output? Can't mix VGA and DVI from what I understand.2. Are you using all digital or all analog signals? These are DVI-D connections, which means they can carry both digital and analog. Analog is carried on the four pins on either side of the long pin (:|:). Check your cables.3. Check input selection on monitor, sometimes they don't change automatically.

You would need a video card with a Thunderbolt output or a converter. Rest assured the DP port is output only, and you cannot connect it to a PC via DisplayPort.

I only have Macs. So yes to macs. From my experience it's no different then hooking up a second monitor. Pc should also work fine.

Not familiar with Apple's stuff, but monitor has multiple inputs, USB, HDMI, component, etc. Check the description. If your equipment will feed any of those, it will work.

Yup, you'll need a mac display to HDMI (or DVI as monitor supports both) adapter.

DVI-D is digital and will not work if you have and old analog monitor but will if you have and LCD monitor ( flat screen thats HD ) some of the old LCDs are analog. DVI-D is digital only as per the 'D'. DVI-I is integrated as per the 'I' If you look at the DVI-I connnector, it has 4 pins around the flat blade looking pin. Those 4 pins are the analog signal. DVI-D connector is missing those pins so a simple adapter will not work as the analog signal is missing. The signal converter will most likely cost more than a HD LCD monitor. Hope this helps.

So, yeah it only has one DVI out connection but it also has the apple specific video out, I believe it's the mini display port ( you should double check that's what it is called). With that second connection I know you can also send out a video signal, so you should be able to run a dual-monitor set up. Hope this helps.

I think I previously answered yes to this question, but no, it will not work, dvi in any format will not transmit audio

No, this will only work on a computer monitor. But well worth it. I use one everyday, and works great for me. Now as far as the quality goes depends on the monitor. My monitor's highest possible resolution is 1600x900ish and my quality is really good for having very little money invested in a cable.

You need to get a Mini Display port to VGA or a Thunderbolt to VGA adaptor.This is for apples made in the mid 2000's

I am not sure if Apples lightning display port is the same as today's PC's mini display port. I would double check before ordering.

I'm not an expert by any means, but I would think that the signal would not convert to analog. I use it very similarly, from this cable I have one dvi running to an LCD monitor, the other is to a tv via a cable with DVI on one end and HDMI on the other. Hope this helps.

If I understand the question correctly, I do not know for sure if it will work. I connected a VGA monitor to a newer dvi-d port and it worked great! The first thing to confirm would be the connections (male vs female)
