I am almost stopping to fight against the will of having an Apple Cinema Display for my Hackintosh. But, Apple never makes it easier.
It seems Thunderbolt for Hackintoshes (using discrete GPUs) is stil far far away in the future (would like your views on that).
So I may resort to an regulad LED Apple Cinema Display (which are still listed in my country's Apple Web site).
Questions:
1. My Hackintosh stays on a cupboard a bit far from the monitor. Normally I use 5 meter cables. Right now I have a 23in Samsung connected via HDMI. How could I connect a ACD? Would it be possible to keep usingn the HDMI cable and have a converter? Searching the web I did not find any quality female-MiniDP-to-Male-HDMI. I though also on using Apple's HDMI-MiniDP adapter plus a Mini-DP female-female coupler, but the only coupler I found was a cheap chinese knockoff with two 1-star reviews on Amazon.
2. Should I expect any troubles by using MiniDisplay Port (for example if I find a mDP cable extender) instead of the current HDMI?
3. Tell me how are you connecting your ACDs. Specially if you are using an externder.
