will a dell monitor work with a mac?

Don't listen to the advice about DVI output above.  Every Mac comes with a DVI to VGA converter for just this reason.  If the Dell is VGA you can use that to connect it and if it's not, then go straight DVI.  Regardless, there's no reason the monitor wouldn't work.

I have a 19" Dell monitor, and I'm very happy with it. The higher-end digital monitors are noticably better.

Apple Support is a better place for this question: \niSight Forum http://discussions.apple.com/forum.jspa?forumID=802\niMac Forum (select your model) http://discussions.apple.com/category.jspa?categoryID=132\nAnd the main page has Windows compatibility categories also http://discussions.apple.com/index.jspa\n\nGood Luck!

Mac without a doubt.  You won't regret it.  Having purchased both brands myself, I will never go back to Dell.  I've had my mac for 2 and a half years and it's still like new.  The Dell had me wishing for a new computer after a year.  Also, Apple has the fewest problems and the best customer service.  Get the Apple Care Protection Plan.  They will help you with anything.  If you have an Apple store near you, you can schedule one on one time with a Mac Genius.  So great!  Good luck!

Unlikely, just sell the Dell, there are plenty of people who will buy it. Then look for good deal on the Mac. Be prepared for the sticker shock initially when purchasing and especially when wanting to upgrade hardware or software. Also get used to having no real choices in these matters.

they help, but they are not absolutes when determining whats your best choice. Keep in mind dell and HP monitors are made by Samsung. Checking out monitors in a store may not be the best way because people play with settings. Check reviews online for the best resource of which are good monitors. I had an hp, dell, samsung, they are very brilliant. Make sure your lcd monitor has a DVI input. otherwise you will not be able to take advantage of digital outputs from good video cards. The White connector with lots of holes is the DVI. The blue one is vga, its analog, and will NOT reproduce crystal clear images. If you have a money tree in your back yard, apple cinema displays are failproof monitors, brilliant, with firewire and usb ports as well.

you can get osx to run on a dell or an amd. I got bored and its running on my work pc which is a dell and its also running on my xBox. you just need to be not a noob. but honestly if you just switch to mac you will fall inlove. Trust me i switched about 19 months ago. I am an A+ certifed technician my last pc was an AMD 64 FX 53 with 4 gigs of ram and 1 terabyte of hdd. i loved my windows but needed a mac cert for my new job so i got one thinking this will suck. i sold my pc 6 weeks later. mac is the only thing i need its so much nicer

Why would ANYONE want to go from a PC to a Mac?  Mac's cost more than twice as much money, for the same performance, and trying to buy hardware/software for them is futile.  Why don't you just buy a better video card for your PC???

The mad dog CD-RW most likey is for mac or is not compatible with dell or your USB speed is not fast enough. Check to see if it is USB 2.0

Connect a spare PC between DVD writer and monitor, then it'll work. DVD writers are not designed to interface directly to a monitor.
