Help with LED Cinema Display
I recently ordered a refurbished 27" LED Cinema Display through Apple to replace an old non-apple monitor and am pumped to get it! I've been researching a question I have within the apple support communiities and on other websites but keep getting conflicting answers and was hoping someone would be able to help me out.
I'll be using the display with my 15" MacBook Pro (Mid 2012) which will be no problem as I can just use the mini displayport. My question relates to my work computer which is a pc. I need to be able to use the monitor at certain times with the pc and have been researching trying to figure out a solution and keep getting different answers. The pc has HDMI, VGA, and USB ports. The pc also has both a NVidia NVS 5200M and Intel integrated graphisc 4000 card. Can I simply use an HDMI cable and the mini displayport to HDMI adapter? Or am I going to need something like the Kanex XD HDMI to mini displayport converter?
I guess the third option would be neither and I'd be back to the drawing board! Any input would be much appreciated as I've been trying to figure this out and just can't get an answer, which I guess makes sense as it all depends on what you are using.
