Help!! determine what kind of LCD connection?

[themorningbells]

I don't really know much about this monitor but if any of you have any idea what sort of connection this is, I can pick this thing up for $60. It's a 15inch FPD1500 gateway lcd and here's the girls decription (she think's it's some kind of Gateway propietary plug)

"I do know from exhaustive web searching that it's not a regular DVI or DFP adapter. It looks to be a proprietary sort of digital cable connector...no pins, just two thin slots with goldtone connectors on the inside. both ends of the cable are identical."

Anyone have any idea what sort of interface this may be? Mac maybe? I have no idea, and any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

It might be a Apple Display Connector, I can't find a big picture of one, there's a smaller one here:

I would think a Gateway LCD would use a standard DVI/VGA adapter. AFAIK, they don't make any mac products

So I know I ,just had one of these posts (sorry), but should I blindly buy it seeing as how it's only $60 for a LCD that supposedly works fine if I can figure out this adapter? If I should, I'll post pics of the adapter when I get it. Suggestions appreciated. Thanks.

Here is a link to the scan of the monitor connection. If this gives anyone a better idea as to what kind of connection it is, please respond if you know of any vga or dvi adapters for it. Thanks.

No one from that picture has any idea what sort of connection that is?

Wow - another fellow boston person. I wasthinking of buying this too, but I guess I'll let you have it - Its a DFP connector. You can buy adaptors for it for about 10 bucks, but you need a DVI-D connector on your graphics card. Check this out - http://www.ati.com/support/infobase/3739.html
