    What he said.

    And setting up an external screen with an Apply product is extremely easy, you just plug it in, and it works. :)

    You might want to check which adapter piece you need before you buy the screen. :)

    Yes all Monitors are compatible with mac, assuming your mac can support the resolution. Macs are great with monitors, plug it in and they detect them. By the way you may want to consider that in order to use your 360 you will have to buy and adapter and get speakers to plug it into.

    Hey, that's exactly the one I want to buy next month for my MBP! :)

    Question: the tech specs say the connector type is "Analog, DVI-D (Digital) with HDCP"; does this mean I need a HDMI (male) - DVI (female) connector?

    I'm kind of newbie when it comes to video connectors...

    Is this connector good, or is it recommended to just get an external monitor with HDMI... ?

    Regards

    Edit: PS: isn't this one somewhat better? 2ms response (vs 5), web cam.
    Btw, what's the difference between dynamic and "normal" contrast ratio? is 2000:1 dynamic better than 800:1?
