Does anyone know if Apple Monitors are compatible with PCs? I know that they use a DVI input, and I can supply for that, but would there be any strange conflicts? Thanks.

Yep, Apple monitors work just fine with an adaptor plug - mate of mine got a 21" Apple monitor for a song, and it worked just fine.

The new models use Apple display which is a propritarty plug.
It use to be just straight Dvi...but they changed that now.
THere are adaptors however the new displays donot have any onle moniter crontrols. The settings are driectly dictated by MacOs Drivers, so u can nnot modify the contrast, brightness etc.....unless some has made a hacked driver for the Pc.

yea, depends, some monitors work on the same plugs as pcs, others are different and need adaptors
