Allthough these montors can be used with adapters (most, maybe not all of
these mac displays are NOT regular DVI) the contrast/brightness CANNOT be
adjusted with windows. This is done by the mac, but with windows you'd have
controls on the monitor, so you are going to have problems if you ever wanna
change those.
And there are plenty of nice 21+ standard dvi displays. Check out sony and
samsung's products. They should be cheeper too.
