    I'm thinking on buying a Cinema LED-screen soon.

    Now is my question wheather i can connect it to a normal windows pc/notebook (without a display port, because i know those adapters exist) as well.

    it should be possible using any adapters/signalconverters, but which?

    Thanks for the help!

    The cinema display is minidisplayport only. I believe that there are some companies that sell box dvi-mini display port connects (which are relatively expensive). This would allow you to convert from DVI output (from a PC or older mac) and go to the mini DP of the ACD.
