The story now reads as follows:
Users report problems with Apple display adapter
Owners of the latest MacBook, MacBook Pro, and MacBook Air models can connect their laptops to 30-inch displays using Apple's $99 . However, some users have been with the new adapter, ranging from screen artifacts to completely blank displays.
Some of those reporting problems are connecting the adapter to third-party displays from Dell and Samsung, and have posted that Apple tech support told them that only Apple's 30-inch Cinema Display HD was supported by the adapter.
However, according to an Apple spokesperson, the adapters are intended to be used with displays other than Apple's.
