Hi Paul,
Thinking about it a little, which G4, video card, and operating
system are you using? Some of the newer displays don't support the
"older" resolutions, especially the defaults, and the adapters can
add to the issue. Pay little or nothing if you can.

Hello Jim,
Good to know, thanks for the tip! They seem to be unavailable new
but I could spot some on the bay.
Cheers
Paul

Hello Paul,
While there may be others, but Belkin and Gefen made ADC to DVI
adapter cables.

I am bound to an old G4 to use a machine locked calibration
software and I wanted to fit that machine to the NEC PA271W which
has two DVI connectors in addition to the DisplayPort in order to
reduce the bulk of all that equipment on my desktop. There are
adapters to use old ADC cinema dispalys on DVI graphic cards, but
I could not find a solution to plug a DVI monitor to the ADC port
of the G4. I bought a simple DVI to VGA adapter first, but that
doesn't do the trick since the NEC PA271 doesn't take analog
signals as I am now aware (the PA241 would).
One solution would be to replace the graphic card with one that
has DVI output, and maybe that could still be found used. But
simpler: would someone know if there exists (or existed) a cable
that converts the Apple ADC to use a standard DVI monitor on the
G4?
