I'm not sure about this though...you'd better talk to the Apple rep...the ad only mentions Powerbook to flatscreen monitor connectivity, not PC.

Wait... Macintosh doesn't use our video input system either? DVI OR AGP??

AGP is an internal bus standard, not a monitor interface standard.

Apple uses what's called an ADC (Apple display cable) which carries DVI, power, and USB data (because most if not all mac screens have USB hubs in them). Apple sells a converter - the ADC cable plugs into one end, and the other end has 3 plugs which in turn plug into a DVI video card, usb port, and power.
