I have a Mac Cinema Display 22" on my machine, being driven by an ATI9000

ATI card has two monitor output ports (to drive two monitors at once if
necessary). One port is a DVI port (digital video interface?) and this
connects to the monitor. This port supplies both the digital video signal
and the monitor power.

In short to drive a large Mac flat display you need a video card with a
connector that supplies both a DVI output and power as well. I suggest you
contact ATI and NVIDIA as to whether their consumer cards have this
capability or not. Other than that the Mac displays are built to industry
standards and should work.

DVI-I Interface lets you connect ALL-IN-WONDER® RADEON™ to new DVI-I Digital
Flat Panels
Enjoy crisper and clearer images and reduce eyestrain from prolonged viewing
Save space on your desk
so based on what you said it might just be a matter of drives to worry about.

Those Mac monitors sure look nice and beat anything us PC people have expect
for the big 42+ plasm displays that nobody buy big companies can afford. =(

This is done by the mac, but with windows you'd have controls on the monitor, (...) (22 years ago, 7-Dec-02, to lugnet.cad.dev.mac)
