Sorry, no. ...and I have the "same" model G4 (see sig).

This is too weird, and coincidental: Only four days ago, I chucked my old
Sony 21" CRT in the dumpster and replaced it with an Apple Cinema HD
23-inch
display.

It was literally plug-n-play and I couldn't be more pleased even
considering
its hefty price.
The [four-into-one] cable providing all the connections, including the
feeds
to two USB 2.0 and two FireWire 400 ****ts, combined with "touch" controls
for
brightness (+ & -) and power/sleep along the right side of the bezel, and
the
gorgeous display proves, once again, that you get what you pay for.
I highly recommend the same route to anyone upgrading as you are
considering.
Good luck!
