I'm confused with all those different connectors, DVI, VGA, whatever...
So, I want to know, what kind of LCD can I use? I have a ATI Rage Pro, and in the back there is one VGA connector and one ... how is it called?!
Thanx in advance!

Since you have the Rage128 Pro you have a VGA and a DVI connector on your video card. You cannot use Apple's new LCD monitors that have the ADC connector without purchasing the DVIator which is a DVI->ADC adapter.

You could also purchase third-party LCDs from companies like ViewSonic or Princeton Graphics and use the DVI connector. Some LCDs even have a VGA connector but they are usually the cheap-o LCDs and you loose the benefit of an all-digital crisp image by using VGA which uses an analog signal versus DVI or ADC which are both digital.
