Do you need a video card?

To use your display, you need compatible video circuitry built into your computer or a compatible video card installed in your computer. If you are unsure whether your computer has the appropriate built-in video capability, check with an Apple-authorized dealer or service provider.

If your computer does not have the video capability necessary to use this display, you need to purchase a video card. (Video cards are available from an Apple-authorized dealer or service provider.) Install the video card before you connect the display to your computer. To install a video card in one of the expansion slots inside your computer, see the manual that came with your computer or video card.

Do you need an adapter connector? Some models of Macintosh computers with built-in video and some third-party video cards require an adapter connector to connect the display to the computer. You can acquire an adapter connector from an Apple-authorized dealer or service provider.
