Afraid to purchase stand alone 27" apple lcd monitor

That's right. I've had a heck of a time with dead pixels and faded displays with my iMac so against my better half's advice to just call it quits with apple and get another PC, I said why not just get a macpro and buy the apple monitor separately? I realize I'd be spending WAY more than I ever have before but I'm tired of having nothing but issues with my iMac.
So, does anyone know the inside scoop on the LCD panels Apple is using in their iMac's and their new 27"displays? When a tech came out to swap my bad panel out on my iMac I saw a "LG" on the panel.
I'm looking to see if I should avoid apple display's all together if their reliability and quality control just isn't what it should be.

You need the Mini DisplayPort version of the 27" display.

The Thunderbolt version will not work with a Mac Pro.
Mac Pros started coming with Mini DisplayPorts in 2009 but you can install a Mini DisplayPort graphics card in earlier models (if you update to at least Snow Leopard),

  • Can Pages 09 be purchased stand alone? And Online

    I dont have Mac stores near me and can't afford to wait for it to arive where I live if I buy the physical version online.
    Can it be purchased as a software for downloading?
    And can Pages be purchased stand alone? I dont need numbers, etc
    thanks

    You can indeed purchase a download-only version of iWork -- just download the free trial, and in the trial version there is a procedure for purchasing a license online.
    Apple does not sell Pages separately from the other iWork suite applications. (But at $79, it's still pretty cheap for an extremely functional word processor/page layout app.)

  • Purchased stand-alone copy of LR in 10/2013.  Got a message that Development module is disabled.

    I upgraded from LR 4 to LR5, purchasing a stand-alone version of Lightroom in 10/2014 (less than three months ago) for my PC.  In accordance with instructions from Adobe HELP, I downloaded a second copy of the software to a new Mac in preparation for switching computers and discontinued using the original PC version.  I had to hire a consultant to assist with the transfer of photos due to lack of specific instructions from Adobe regarding a PC to Mac transition, but by early December the transition had been accomplished and LR (now 5.7) was functioning for approximately two weeks.  Shortly thereafter the Development module was disabled with a message that I needed to renew my membership to reactivate the Develop Module!  I never had a membership... I purchased the stand-alone version of the software and wish to use it rather than the subscription version. 
    Added to all my problems with the transition is that we hosted guests for the holiday season and I was unable to show them any of my recent photographs due to the Develop module being disabled.   (My guess is that Adobe is not going to compensate me for this inconvenience!) 
    As far as I can determine, this is nothing that I have brought on myself.  Adobe allows the download of two copies of the LR software and I haven't exceeded that, and I called Adobe Help specifically to ask how to accomplish the PC to Mac transition and was told to download the LR software to the Mac. 
    So how do I reactivate the Development module without paying additional money for a subscription? 

    But to answer your question directly, you have installed the creative cloud installation of Lightroom which requires different licensing. You have to uninstall and then download from the standalone website.

  • Wall Mount for a 23" (Clear enclosure) Apple LCD Monitor

    I've been scouring the net, looking for wall/desk mounting options (like an articulated arm, or even a bracket just to mount it to the wall) for my 23" Apple cinema - NOT THE NEW METAL ONE - the older, clear plastic enclosure type...
    The only thing I can find is like $350! Is there anything cheaper out there? I've found the articulating arms, but nothing that mounts to the wall. (Except for Marathon - which is now out of business...)
    Help!

    Hello? Anyone? Yikes....

  • Can't get my 30" Apple LCD at full res with the MacBook Pro Retina

    Hey
    I've been through a lot of posts and I can't seem to find a solution. I have a 30" Apple LCD monitor but the highest resolution I can get out of it through the MacBook Pro Retina is 1280 x 800. Any suggestions? I have tried holding down option while clicking the scale radio button, no luck.

  • Watch Tv with apple 20 inch LCD monitor

    I have a 20 inch apple LCD monitor, I dont want to use it for my computer, instead I would want to use it to watch tv. How shd I do it or what shd I buy?

    That is one very expensive 20" TV, frankly you should sell it on and buy a 20" LCD TV instead. 
    You could have a look at Elgato's TV Tuners for Macs you can then display and record HD TV on your Mac and are pretty good value.

  • New LCD Monitor Blinks On and Off

    I just purchased a new 22" Visionmaster LCD monitor, connected via digital cable to my ATI Radeon 128Mb video card.
    However, it tends to switch OFF to a black screen, and after about 5 seconds it comes back on. The screen displays the word DIGITAL in the upper right hand corner.
    Why is this happening, and what can I do to avoid it?
    It doesn't seem to like using the digital cable. It works fine using the standard VGA cable, however.
    Can anyone comment on this? Is this particular card not compatible?
    Thanks!

    Hello! Look in your system prefs under the screen saver and see if a "hot corner" is set. It sounds like the mouse is trying to trigger a screen saver or the "display slep" is set to only a few seconds. I've seen this type of behavior with my Dell screen and it's something I'm triggering with the mouse. Tom

  • Skype video not supported on external lcd monitor

    I would like to use the camera on my Apple LCD monitor with Skype, but video seems not to be supported.

  • LCD Monitor Calibration Needed

    I just purchased a 3rd party 19" LCD monitor, and noticed the the thing is freaking bright!
    I need to calibrate this thing before it melts my eyes. I'm looking for either a tutorial on how to properly do this, or a program that will help me with this.
    Any help is greatly appricated. Thanks!
    --alan

    if you've got the money for something worthwhile, the sypder2pro is an excellent monitor calibration tool. it calibrates crt's, lcd's and projectors. it actually allows me to use my 23" cinema display by removing most of the "pink" that the screen evolved to right after it went off of warranty, making it the most overpriced lemon i ever bought ($1799 before taxes).

  • Has anyone used the Acer X223Wbd 22" Wide LCD Monitor with their MBP?

    Good afternoon,
    I'm currently thinking about purchasing the 22" Wide Acer LCD monitor to hook up to my MBP, so I can have a bigger screen to render graphics and play games on. I was wondering if there is anyone else, who has experience with this product, that can give me their opinion about it. My financial budget is about $200.00, so I need to find the best monitor for my buck. I have read some good reviews on it, but I'm not sure if those individuals had used it with a MBP. I would appreciate any useful information that anyone can give me. Thank you.
    AMMOCAN

    Thanks J, that's a nice find. I've tried it and it seems to be working seamlessly. As you said, I cannot confirm any multi-touch support and the price that they are asking is certainly not in the private end-user range. Fortunately, according to the terms of use for the evaluation, you only need to calibrate after every 100 touches to keep the driver working indefinitely.
    Terms of Use:
    TERMS OF USAGE
    This software is supplied for evaluation and test purposes only. For use in production systems, driver licenses are required. Please note that click emulation will cease after 100 touches and a calibration or reboot is needed to gain another 100 touches.
    This would appear to be a nice work around until acer decides to distribute a Mac driver or someone develops a cheaper alternative.

  • Hoods on LCD monitors?

    I'm considering the purchase of an Eizo CE210W LCD Monitor for my G5. They offer a hood for it to block out stray ambient light. Has anyone used one of these hoods and do you find them useful? Any comments about this monitor would be welcome as well.

    speedlab,
    It is called Ghosting. What happens is the pixels cannot de-energize fast enough when there is fast moving action on the screen. The response times on the pixels is getting better and there are some high end LCDs sutable for gaming but for now, the CRT is King when it comes to gaming.
    Take Care,
    Richard

  • How best to INSTALL my downloaded purchase of Lightroom 5 stand-alone ver. (NON-CreativeCloud) on my Macbook Pro OSX 10.9.5 ?

    So, I’ve just downloaded my purchase of Lightroom Photoshop 5. I bought it via Adobe.com and it’s the full desktop version, stand-alone software version.
    Important FYI:  Please note that I bought the non-CC Lr program to download.
    Question: How do I properly INSTALL it after downloading it onto my Macbook Pro using OSX (latest Mavericks ver. 10.9.5) ??
    I can only find installation instructions for Lr CC and mobile but not for the full, non-CC licensed desktop version which is what I have!
    Perhaps the above is the same step-by-step install process as my said Lr 5 but for whatever reason Adobe doesn’t say so anywhere that I’ve been able to find.
    Any help?
    T.I.A.!
    P.S. FWIW, I’m mostly asking because I’m just afraid to mess up something or install it wrong or in wrong place; I want to make sure I do it correctly so not to corrupt the installation or whatever, even though I’m fairly sure I know how. Double-checking for my own confidences/sanity…

  • I have a BT home Hub 3 with standard BT broadband(no infinity), how do I set up an Apple AirPort Extreme without a stand alone modem? Can I use my current Home Hub

    I want to use an Apple AirPort Extreme as my home router but at present I have standard BT broadband using the BT Home hub 3. Can I connect them in some way so I don't need to buy a stand alone modem.
    IS THIS POSSIBLE???
    1. Would Apple AirPort Express be better and easier?
    2. What modem would be suitable if I can't do it any other way?
    I AM CURRENTLY USING MY INTERNET WITH PS3,WINDOWS 7 LAPTOP, IPAD AND IPHONE!!!
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks

    You said that you wanted the layout to look like this:
    AT&T 2WIRE Router (wireless off) ---> AirPort Extreme ---> NetGear 16-Port Gigabit Desktop Switch ---> ethernet cabling to ports in most rooms --->
    So, we took that at face value....,.but it could look like this if things are more convenient this way, if you prefer:
    AT&T 2WIRE  > Ethernet Switch > AirPort Extreme and other devices.
    - If we include an AirPort Extreme in the overall network setup, are there any potential issues with the 2WIRE router and the AirPort Extreme router "competing" with one another?
    No, if you leave the wireless function off on the 2WIRE.  If you do want the utilize the wireless on the 2WIRE and the AirPort Extreme, then you want to keep them physically separated by 6-8 feet, or a few meters.
    - Do I really need an AirPort Extreme in the final setup?
    No, if the AirPort Express will provide enough range for the network.
    Or if I just want an extra WAP, can I operate two AirPort Express units (with the same SSID) downstream of a 2WIRE router?
    Yes, if both of them are configured to operate in Bridge Mode.  If you are using the "wizard" setup utility in AirPort Utility 6.x, the wizard will do this for you automatically.
    That is to say, could we have a setup that looks just like the image above, but with an extra AirPort Express tacked on to one of the unused ethernet ports?
    You can have as many AirPort Express devices (or AirPort Extreme devices) as you want, as long as each has an Ethernet connection back to the switch.

  • Purchase Order in Stand Alone Scenario

    Hi experts
    i'd like to know if is possible to create a Purchase Order in SRM 5.0 (stand alone scenario) with position "Limit".
    I'd like also to know if is possible to create Purchase Orders with 2 or more lines.
    I'm sure that is possible to creat Shopping Cart with position "Limit".

    Hi Olga,
    Are you creating RFQ from scratch or from Sourcing Cockpit ?
    If from SOCO, the Bid data can be completed with originating SC data. Otherwise data needs to be completed.
    Have a look at "processing bids" part of bidding engine help:
    http://help.sap.com/saphelp_srm50/helpdata/en/d3/133dcd5641b244a60578baa996a597/content.htm
    It is stated that in case of contract creation, you have to complete the "user-defined" contract item to add data, for example product or vendor product number.
    For PO creation, there is nothing about "user-defined" items.
    I analyzed this process in an SRM 5.0, and it looks correct: added items are passed to the PO.
    For local PO creation, all the logic is done in BBP_QUOTE_PO_CREATE.
    Here are steps for SRM 5.0
    - read quote details (items and additional items)
    - read RFQ details
    - retrieve RFQ long texts
    - fill PO header and complete it with ACS & BUK attributes of connected user
    - merge normal & supplier added items (GOOD !!!!!)
    - process items
    - complete partners
    - process texts
    - process attachments
    - BADI to determine purch group
    - create the PO with BBP_PD_PO_CREATE
    So it should work.
    Debug this process starting with function BBP_QUOTE_PO_CREATE, or open an OSS message.
