Would this Dell monitor work with a Mac's DVI connector?

Any one using this dell monitor with their Mac?



Dell has a really good price on this monitor this week, so was curious if it would work with my Mac Mini (which has a DVI port.) Currently using a Viewsonic monitor with the DVI to SVGA adaptor.



Thanks!



Scott

    Yeah, DVI on Macs works the same as on any PC.

    Yes, Dell always has good deals, i got the 20.1" Widescreen for less then $500 6 months ago, color look great, 0 dead pixel!! Everything work great with my 17" powerbook!

    And the 24" widescreen is a good deal too!

    get it!

    You should watch out for Dell's monitors, expecially the 24'' inch.

    I just RMAed mine. The picture is great, but the powersupply is noisy. Once the monitor heats up, it starts making loud (for me) high pitched sounds.

    I actually went through 3 of those (Dell patiently was sending me new ones), but all 3 of them have this whine to one degree or another.

    my viewsonic has the same prob, but only for 3-4 seconds when starting it up...personally I'd go for the regular 20" dell...seems a better value than the wide 20" or the wide 24"...a good indicator: look at the pixels on each model.
