Hi,

what kind of cable do I need to connect an Acer monitor to my new 13.3" Macbook?

thanks again,

Wolf

One that has matching connectors.

Seriously, what kind of connectors are on the monitor?

Select a cable and adapter (to MiniDisplayPort) to match:
Monitor< <--Cable--> >Adapter-->>MacBook

And if you want to go HDMI into the monitor, you get a DVI to HDMI cable to plug into the regular DVI on the end of that little connector.You may then have to go mike out to audio in with the sound. On my particular Powerbook that's what I need. However, you have a different laptop than mine. They have them at the Apple Store. I just bought one for the 24" HP monitor I got.If you go in and tell them which computer you have and what the ports in are on your monitor, they will find you the proper cable.

For starters, see whether the cable you already have on the Acer monitor matches the port on the MacBook.

Apple specs say this:
Video output options

DVI output using Mini DisplayPort to DVI Adapter

VGA output using Mini DisplayPort to VGA Adapter

Dual-link DVI output using Mini DisplayPort to Dual-Link DVI Adapter
