Q: How do I connect my 23" Cinema HD (DVI-D) to a VGA port?
I have a 23" Cinema HD display (2008) that I'm trying to connect to a VGA port. From my research it looks like VGA and DVI-D are compatible but I can't get it to work. When I cycle the power on the computer the display cycles as well but I can't get any video. I'm guessing that there is some problem with the adapter, and hoping someone can recommend one that works?

A simple adapter won't work, You need a VGA to DVI Converter, such as:

Make sure the VGA port is capable of 1920 X1200 60 Hz.
