26 inch display

ive got a 26inch widescreen display which im trying to plug into my mew macbook. however, the screen recamends a resolution of 1920 X 1600. my macbook wont let me select this resolution for some reason. i'm sure there must be a way however as apple offer a 32" cinematic screen for macbooks which surely requires a higher resolution. any ideas??

1920 x 1600? Are you sure? I would double-check that because that is a complete whack resolution that I have never heard of, nor seen a monitor/TV/flat panel that supported it. And if this is in fact what the manufacturer recommends, I would contact them and ask about it. Seems to be in error to me.

Video card to run 30 inch display for G5 2.5 GHz quad core

I want to purchase the 30 inch HD display for my G5 Quad core 2.5 GHZ machine. Apple states that it needs the nVidia GeForce 6800 card to run. I have the GeForce 6600. Will the 30 inch display run at a lower resolution with this card? If not, could someone recommend a PCI-E card that will? I did find a 6800 GeForce Ultra at Macsales.com but they state it will not run on the quad G5.
Thank you for your time and consideration

Your existing card has two DVI ports. One is single-link and can only run up to a 23". The other is dual-link, and can run a 30" at full resolution.

HT1338 Just got 27 inch display for my Mac Book Air how do I use extended desktop

How do I use the extended display to view a architectual print on the 27 inch display and have numbers running on mac book air

First, don't use Full screen mode or Mirror. Just drag the architectual print off the right side of the MBair monitor and it will appear on the external.
You can make adjustments in System Preferences > Displays > Arrangement tab

Will the Apple 30 Inch display work with my MacBook pro? Confused!!

Hi all,
thinking of getting a used Apple 30 inch display to go with my MBP, but not sure if it will work at the correct resolution. Ive read you need a Duel Link DVI cable, but I have Thunderbolt not mini-display port. My MBP is early 2011 (think), so I am really confused. The 27 Incher with thunderbolt would be good too, but they are too expensive for me.
Graphics card is AMD Radeon HD 6490M, 16mb RAM. 10.6.8.
I would really appriciate any advice !
Thank you all in advance,
Bish.

I am replying to my own post here, but i have made excellent progress and wanted to let any other viewers in the same boat, know the solution.
Basically, the Duel Link DVI cable from Apple (£70 / $99) is the bad boy that works. My confusion was Thunderbolt, but apparently Thunderbolt IS ALSO a DVI port ! So, buy the 30 incher on Ebay or off a mate, and BANZAI ! done. Glorious res of about 2560x1600pixels is awesome!
The only downside here is that it might be too big LOL !!!!
Good luck all
Bish

"Macbook Pro 17-inch" OR "15-inch 2.0Ghz + 23-inch display" ?

I'm ready to upgrade my iMac G4 and would like to change to a Macbook Pro. The decision i'm working on making is whether to invest in the 17-inch MBP or go for the 15-inch + 23-inch display. Both options cost about the same.
The combination of laptop and display creates the flexibility of working on a large desktop display at home and bringing the laptop with me when I travel.
The 17-inch brings the higher performance. Perhaps the 17-inch display is plenty of screen space for working at home (I've been working with a 17-inch screen on my G4 iMac for several years)
I would describe my use of the system as "home use" -> internet, email, iTunes, photo library/editing/I'm thinking about upgrading from iPhoto to Photoshop, video storage/I've done very little video editing but may start with Final Cut Express,
I'd very much appreciate any comments and advice from anyone who can make suggestions about which of these systems would be best for my needs.
Some additional questions about the MBP + Cinema Display combination:
Is it a good idea to run the MacBook Pro 15-inch connected to a 23-inch Apple display? I realize the Apple displays are targeted at Mac Pro users. Would i get the full benefit of the display performance if I'm driving it with a Macbook Pro? Is it convenient to "dock" and "un-dock" the MBP from the display? Besides the Bookendz product is there any expectation that Apple will produce a docking station to connect the MBPs to the displays?

If you plan on using it mainly at home, I would get the 15" and external display. That's what I done. It's been working out great. You don't need a docking station either. Everything is easy to attach and unattach,

Dell 24 inch back to a 17 inch display problem

I installed a 24" Dell LCD display. I changed back to the Apple 17 inch display and i cannot get the resolution back to 1920 x 1200. I only get half the length of a safari page and it extends past the edges. How do I reset it for the Apple display?

Seems to be the right adapter and cable for you as well.

Brightness sensor malfunction on 27 inch display?

Does anyone know where the brightness sensor is on the 27 inch display? I have the display set to adjust the brightness but there doesn't seem to be any change at all when I turn the lights out in the room. I wonder if I'm getting "feedback" into the sensor from objects around the display.

I thought the light sensor was firmware controlled, not software. If so, installing software wouldn't have an affect. You may have the brightness turned up fairly high for both bright and dark levels. Try this:
1. Turn out the lights in the room.
2. Adjust the brightness manually until it's at the level you like.
3. Turn on the lights in the room.
Does the brightness change?

Westmere Radeon 5770 Apple Acrylic ACD 23 inch Display Compatibility

Will the ACD to DVI acrylic 23 inch display work with the Mac Pro Westmere processor model and the ATI Radeon 5770? Never got my acrylic model display to work with anything but a Radeon X1900 on my Mac Pro 1.1. Thinking about upgrading to a new Mac Pro. If I can't get my acrylic ADC model to work, I may have to go in a different direction from Mac.

The odd thing is that my acrylic worked with the 4870 with with OS 10.5 without updates. No openGL and/or core image support; however, but it booted into the OS. As soon as I updated to to OS 10.5.8, I could no longer boot into the OS. When OS 10.5 was introduced, there were no Radeon 4870's on the market. Thank you for the information, but I'm still wondering; however, if I can use my acrylic with the new Mac Pro 2010 Westmere's and the Radeon 5770 or if I'm going to run into software conflicts. I would really like to get a new Mac Pro. I really like my Acrylic Cinema Display. Beautiful color rendition and a reliable power supply, the Dr. Bott DVIator. It's not that old and it is Macintosh hardware.

Dual 30-inch displays

I have a MacPro with an ATI Radeon 4870 graphics card with a DVI port and a mini Display port. I have an Apple 30-inch display now and have acces to another 30-inch Apple display. Can I use the current card to run both displays at once? I got a mini display port to Dual-link DVI adapter and the mini port did not work for either display, but both displays work on the DVI port. Apple is sending me a new adapter, but my question is, can I display one 30-inch monitor thru the DVI AND one monitor thru the mini port together? Apple does not know. The ATI site is not helpful. If not, what card should I use. Many thanks.

Yes, mDP can drive a 30-inch. What you already tried should have worked and I'm not sure why it didn't. At least you have another adapter coming, but the problem may lie elsewhere besides a defective adapter.
Write back with further details if the second adapter also fails to work.

Does it support a 30-inch Display?

Does the video card in the newer mac minis support the Apple 30-inch display?
Thanks.

The mini will give a useable display on the 30" from its single-link DVI port. But the resolution will be 1280 x 800, which is one-fourth of what the 30" is capable of. So as mystuffs already pointed out, it's not very compatible.

Can a 23 or 30-inch display be connected to a XBOX 360 or PS3?

Can a 23 or 30-inch display be connected to a XBOX 360 or PS3?
Thanks.

If your PowerBook has a dual-link DVI port, it will work with the 30-inch Cinema Display; this port can be found on a PowerBook with a clock speed of 1.67GHz. Neither the PowerBook nor the MacBook has upgradable graphics.

Is it possible to attach two 27 inch displays the new generation 17 inch MacPro?

Is it possible to attach two 24 inch displays to the new generation 17 inch Macbook Pro?

You can attach one monitor to the Thunderbolt port and the other to a USB port. At present the Thunderbolt port in and of itself can't support two monitors, and the one third-party box I know of that enables connecting two monitors to a mini-Displayport hasn't yet been updated for Thunderbolt compatibility. Here's the kind of adapter you'd need for the USB connection:
http://eshop.macsales.com/item/NewerTech/VIDU2DVIA/
Note that the USB connection would be limited to a maximum of 2048 x 1152 resolution with that adapter (or less with many other USB adapters). That's enough for Apple's 24" LED display, if that's the one you were thinking of. USB's slowness also imposes performance limitations on USB-connected displays, so the one connected via Thunderbolt is the one you'd want to view any fast-action video or games on.
Oops, I've just noticed that you asked in your subject line about 27" displays and in the body of your query about 24" displays. The short answer with respect to 27" displays is no, you could only run one at its native resolution. You could add a 24" display via USB.

No, you can't upgrade the GPU on a MaBook Pro - it's soldered onto the logic board.

MacBook Pro 15.4 inch display 8gb memory and 750 gb hard drive?

I wanted to know if the MacBook Pro 15.4 inch display 8gb memory and 750 gb hard drive would be a good computer for ease of use, fast Internet connections, good graphics, good memory, and some gaming. Maybe one or two games

that works.......
as for the fast internet connection - that all depends on the service plan you have with your ISP.

New 20 inch display not working on my G4

Help, My 20 inch display is not working on my G4 455.
When I turn on the system, it lights up and the spinny clock thing shows up but then it goes black.
The monitor works great with my G4 powerbook.
My original set up was with two 17 inch displays.

Check the compatibility list in this article and see if your computer is compatible with the monitor. If so, try instructions 5 through 7 of the external displays procedure on this page; instructions 1 through 4 are only applicable if the monitor doesn't work at all on that computer.

Two 27 inch displays - want to change camera

I have two of the 27 inch displays, however, I don't get a video source pop up in iChat to switch between the two cameras (similarly only one option in Skype, etc.). Is this a known issue or a workaround?
