There are two different plugs on LCD screens. Analog/VGA and digital/DVI.
My understanding is that iBooks can only plug into Analog/VGA plugs. Some
screens support both types, so I'd recommend getting one of those so that it's
more future-proof.
I'm going to get an LCD for my iBook soo, and that's what I'll be doing. Also
I'll install the video firmware hack.. If you're going to get a bigger screen,
you may as well benefit from the higher resolution! ;-)
HTH,
