Connecting Studio Display 15" to G4 (Sawtooth)?

Hello, I want to give my son my old G4 350mhz AGB and just bought a 15" Studio Display (ADC) and now discover that my G4's video card only has a vga and a dvi-d port. Any suggestions how to make this work? Thanks in advance.

Hi
You need to use a DVI to ADC adapter. They're available from Apple or Dr. Bott. The ADC connector was introduced with the Gigabit Ethernet G4s and requires an extra power connector on the logic board just above the standard AGP slot. The Sawtooth models lack this, hence the power has to be supplied externally via an adapter. Unfortunately they're fairly expensive as the adapter includes the power supply.

I'm not sure whether the above link will time out, but you can search the German online Apple store for DVI ADC adapter.

Apple Studio Display 15" LCD Flatscreen Monitor to connect to my MBP

hi have an older 15 inch studio display that has the ACD connection any suggestion on how to get it to work with my macbook pro to do dual monitors? thanks!

In order to do this you need to use an adapter to go from DVI to ADC. This can be found here http://store.apple.com/1-800-MY-APPLE/WebObjects/AppleStore.woa/wa/RSLID?mco=187 2D402&nplm=M8661LL/B
Good luck hope that works out!

Connect MacBook with Studio Display Monitor (2000)

I am trying to connect my MacBook with an old Studio Display monitor (made in 2000) that has an ADC 30 Male cord. I have a Mini-DVI to DVI 24 Female Adapter that fits into my laptop. I can't seem to find a DVI 24 Male to ADC 30 Female adapter, which is what appears I need. Is there anything I can do to make this work? Thanks!

Can I connect an iBook G4 12" to a Studio display?

What do I need to connect my 12" iBook to my old 17" Studio display (clear shell monitor)?

Wirelessly, only if the display supports AirPlay. Or if the display is Displayport or HDMI, connect with an AppleTV.

Connecting 15" studio display LCD to MacPro

Do I need the DVI to ADC adapter to connect my "old" 15" Studio Display (LCD) to the MacPro?
Just bought the MacPro, upgrading from my G4 Powermac circa 2001. No one at the Apple Store mentioned needing an adapter even though I said I had an older display from 6 years ago. I am not happy to say the least. Partly went for the MacPro because I had this display, though small by current standards. Now another $100 I did not expect.
Any recommendations for displays...at a smaller price? Maybe I should have gone with an iMac....
Thanks.

Unfortunately hardly anyone stops to think that some older Apple displays used the ADC adapter. I bet half of the staff don't even know what an ADC connector is. Anyway, yes you will need the ADC to DVI adapter unless you can already convert your video signal to VGA. In that case you can then use the includes VGA to DVI adapter that was included with your Mac Pro.
Any recommendations for displays...at a smaller price?
You can try Dell. They often have specials which results in very cheap displays.
Maybe I should have gone with an iMac
My parents just bought iMacs (24" with 2.33GHz upgrades) and while they're very nice they can't come close to the performance of the Mac Pro, especially if you implement RAID 0. So while you might be a bit deflated over this just remember that you did buy a far better performing system.

My 11 year old Apple studio display died. what is best connection with new monitor

The lCD light finally quit after 12 years. So I bought a very cheap acer /led widescreenS200HQL 19 inch as a cheap quick replacement for my monitor on my quicksilver G4 933. Question is it is connected to the second display port VGA... Is it worth buying a connector so it can be connected to the larger DVI port(where the apple studio display was connected?) will that make any difference??? Things seem fine but was curious as to the difference???

Many of the Studio displays were ADC. Are you sure that other port is really DVI and not ADC?
My 2004 MDD vid card has one DVI and one ADC connector. I have it connected to a Viewsonic display from about 2007 with both VGA and DVI ports. When I connect the DVI port directly to the DVI port on the G4, the native res looks good but it too small to read (old, tired eyes). If I change the desktop res to make things a little bigger, the image looks like carp--fuzzy and possibly some distortion.
If I use the DVI-to-VGA adapter on the computer and connect it to the monitor. the image is shape and proper at any support desktop res I select.
You mileage may vary.

Connecting a Studio Display without adaptor?

Hi, i was just wondering if it's possible to connect a studio display to an xServe without the use of an adaptor. i can't get in behind out xServe here in the office to see what ports are available but i somehow feel it doesn't connect directly with the displays.
The reason i need to connect a display is to use TimeMachine as it doesn't work through the VNC software we have here

Hi
If it's an Intel XServe you will need the adapter it came with.

17inch Studio Display - What Cable to connect to Mac Pro?

Hi Folks:
I just got a Mac Pro with a 23" cinema display, and an ATI X-1900 card, but I also have a 17inch Studio Display that I was using with a G5. Which cable adapter do I need to connect the 17inch display to the Mac Pro as a second monitor?

I have the 17 inch studio display connected to my Mac Pro (X1900) via the ADC to DVI adaptor. It sits next to a 23in Cinema HD Display. If you do this be prepared for the rather shocking difference in display quality. I hardly ever use the 17in because I can't stand to look at it compared to the 23in. You probably are better off getting a newer cheaper monitor rather than spending $100 bucks on the adaptor.

I have connect retina MBP to 23" studio display. Can the MBP be closed and still work?

with a MBP retina, I have connected to a studio display 23". Can I now close the MBP and use just the studio display?

Can I connect my old Studio Display to my MacPro Tower as a second monitor?

I'd like to hook my old Apple Studio Display (Clear body) to my MacPro tower and use it for my Pallets in PShop. Can anyone tell me the cable(s) I need to convert the studio display to the MacPro monitor port?
Any idea on pricing?

Nevermind. I figured it out. I need the $100.00 adapter.

17" Studio Display connected to by PowerBook

When I restarted my PowerBook I had the 17" Studio Display plugged in and started up the computer. It reached the system startup screen and then the computer just shut down abruptly. Every time the computer starts it makes to a that point and it shuts down.
If I start up the computer and then plug in the monitor it appears and is shows the Cancel, Sleep, Shut Down... Screen and before I can click anything the computer again shuts down abruptly.

Thanks louie and Grant for the feedback.
I want to remove the front glass (that appears to be about quarter of an inch in front of the actual monitor) so I can clean the other side of it (i.e.the glass front).
The plastic bezel is fairly flexible and I suspect comes off quite easily (if I can figure how). But it is not attached to the glass, and only surrounds it like a picture frame. But there may be some screws hidden behind it. There is a gap of about quarter of an inch between the glass cover and the front of the monitor. It's too hard to tell if there is air in between or indeed a jelly-like substance.
If I put my finger on the glass, the "smear" on the other side is almost touching my finger nail (barely a millimetre).
This is an unusual monitor - not like most CRT's - so that's why I'm thinking I could take it apart.
Regards. Robert.
