Can I connet an Apple Studio Display to a PC?

Can I connet an Apple Studio Display to a PC?
If it's possible there is a loss of the image quality?

I assume you mean one of the newer monitors with the fancy-shmancy ADC cables, not the old ones with plain ole VGA. Anyway, yes you can do it, with the purchase of a certain adapter gadget, no idea what the prices might be. (The plain VGA monitors obviously are no different from standard PC monitors, except maybe nicer quality)

The image quality shouldn't be affected - the fancy cables basically just wrap DVI, power, and USB into a single cable. These adapter boxes (or cables?) basically have a power plug, a DVI plug, and a USB plug at one end, and a single ADC plug at the other.

All that is provided you have a PC with a DVI-out video card, of course. I don't know whether the USB part is necessary or not to work the monitor, better check.
