    How do I ...

    Connect a Mac laptop to a PC monitor?

    I'm going to have to bring my Powerbook in and connect it to a PC monitor to complete a project. Most of my connectors are for Macs and am wondering if any of them will be compatible. As far as I can tell, the Dell monitor has one open connector input thingee, maybe 13 pins wide.

    The office has wi-fi but the prospect of staring at government forms for hours on a 15-inch screen just gives me eyestrain just thinking about it.

          Its just standard DVI... so if you need DSUB just get the DVI->VGA adaptor.... UNLESS its the older Mac weird *** proprietary DVI thing that also carried power over the connection.

              It all depends on what type of output your mac has. If you take a picture I'll let you know which connectors those are.

              I've got a 2011 Macbook Pro so I usually go Thunderbolt (Mini-Display) to HDMI.
              You think you know, but you have no idea.

                  Thanks, guys!

                  I'll post a picture of the back of my 2005 PB tomorrow.

                  Anyway the client didn't call or email back, and it wasn't until I was on Hwy 24, lane sharing in the fast lane, amid a sea of red lights, that I remembered I'd left the file behind. lol
