New 24" Apple LCD screen... inputs!?

[Mr Whippy]

...uses mini display port.

Can I thus use a

and a

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Apple-DisplayPort-adapter-...

to allow PS3 input via hdmi and use the screens audio system, and also use my pc dvi to hdmi to mini display port?


I really like the screen (just got two new ones at work), just the insistence on having only one input seems a bit dumb.

Had previously considered the Dell/HP/LG 24" screens, but the Apple one for the extra £100 looks well worth it on display quality.

Nope. The adaptor you link to is to allow a mac with displayport output to connect to a TV/monitor with HDMI input.

basically the new 24@ display will only work with a new Mac Pro, Macbook Pro or iMac. anything older, or non Apple won't connect

there are some adapters to make it connect to a DVI graphics card, but very poor results are likely

Why are Apple so retarded?

Gah. Their loss.
