[Ti] [OT] New 20" LCD display _requires_ OS X ???

[Atma Stormfighter]

Late post, but quick tutorial on flavors of DVI.

DVI-I: has pins that transmit digital as well as pins that transmit 
analog ("VGA") signals.  Its what the DVI port on Macs is

DVI-D: only has the pins for digital, some early IA32 ("PC") cards had 
this.

DVI-A: I have never seen such a beast, but theoretically it would only 
have the pins for analog ("VGA").

Now, ADC uses DVI-I, if you remember the ADC equipped CRTs used analog. 
  So, connecting a VGA display to DVI-D or ADC is trivial: its a matter 
of switching the pin layout.  Connecting a DVI display to VGA is quite 
non-trivial, as you have to convert that analog signal back into 
digital which requires a good amount of logic.
