Hello folks,

I have moved into a new place where I am not going to have a TV. I do have an Apple Cinema Display (HD 23") for both my mac and PC desktops. I remember reading on the forums about a device that is a converter box that will hook up devices (Xbox 360, Cable Box and others) that will go from composite to DVI. It was named Geffen? Gelfen? Gelfan?

I cannot remember the name for the life of me.

Can anyone help?

Thanks, Anthony

Griffin Technology? But I don't see any products like that.

An adapter like that is going to be $200-300.

Can't you ask your cable company for a box with DVI out?
