DVD or Blu Ray?

There is a lot of confusion when it comes to these formats. Both of them have there advantages and disadvantages and both are still widely used but perhaps with blu-Ray becoming more and more popular. Put simply Blu-Ray has greater detail but at a greater cost and DVD is the other way around.

can u use a apple cinema display with a dell laptop?

i have a flat panel apple cinema display 17" moniter, can i use it with my dell inspirion mini...this screen is too d#$m small. and if they are compatible ...how do i hook it up to my laptop?

There is no such thing as a 17-inch Apple Cinema Display. Apple Cinema Displays are widescreen monitors. What you have is an old Apple Studio Display, which is not a widescreen. It's an older 5:4-aspect ratio monitor equipped with only an ADC connector.

In order to connect the Studio Display to a computer with a DVI or HDMI output, you will need to buy the Apple ADC-to-DVI adapter.

Hope this helps.
