Using a PC LCD Monitor for my Powerbook G4?

**Trade Price S** · #1 (**permalink**) 31-07-2007, 02:15 PM

I use a 19" Monitor on my desktop pc & wondered if (& How) I could connect my Powerbook G4 to it? The only connection cable from my monitor is the old style (parallel??) type - No USB - can I get some sort of adapter?
Thanks

Your Powerbook probably has a mini-DVI connections. Your monitor will have a standard VGA connector (not parallel - thats for old printers).

Buy a mini-DVI to VGA adapter from Ebay.

Check what your G4 actually has first though.
