MacBook Pro Mini DisplayPort to DVI adapter
I'm looking to get a MacBook Pro and I'm looking to hook it up to a 20 inch LCD monitor using the Mini DisplayPort to DVI adapter. From the reviews on the Apple site, it appears to work correctly, and nobody seems to have any problems with it.
However, there are a lot of bad reviews of the Mini DisplayPort to Dual-Link DVI adapter, which I understand is only needed for displays that are 30 inches or more.
Is there any potential for problems with the 20 inch monitor and the Mini DisplayPort to DVI adapter, or is it a no-brainer?

It's a no-brainer. 30+inch displays require a much stronger signal than a 20" or 23" display. Since you're going to get the non-Dual-Link adaptor and using a 20" display, it's easy plug and play.
But the regular mini display port to DVI adapter should work fine.
