I have a new Mac mini and one of the original cinema displays. Is there an adapter for the display so I can use it with my new mini? If so what is it?

Display compatibility issue.

What connection is on the monitor?

- If it is really old it would have an ADC connection. For that:

For that you need either an HDMI>DVI adopter or mini displayport>DVI adopter and one of these:

Might be better off getting a new monitor
