Are the all silver cinema display still worth getting?

I'm getting a mac mini anf will need to get a new monitor for it. I was on ebay and saw the all silver cinema displays on theren for arounf 200 dollars. Are those still worth the money and are they good monitors?

This new display is designed for use with the new MacBooks. If you want a dual display solution that works with the current iMacs then you need to buy one of the current Apple Cinema Displays.
Future Apple Cinema Displays will be using the new DisplayPort interface which will require a mini DVI to DisplayPort cable to be used with current iMacs.

  • Are intel iMacs compatible with the M9177B/A cinema display

    Are intel iMacs compatible with the M9177B/A cinema display please?

    That Display has DVI input. So if you have a 2009 iMac with MiniDisplay port output as your profile suggest's...?
    Then you will need a > Mini DisplayPort to DVI Adapter - Apple Store (U.S.) and maybe a DVI cable if one is not with the monitor.

  • What happened to the 30 inch Cinema display?

    What happened to the 30 inch Cinema display?
    I went into the Apple store to purchase one, all they had was the (too small) 27 inch with the ugly black border.
    I did find a few used 30 inch Cinema displays on ebay, they are over $1100 USED.
    Any suggestions, for a 30 inch display?

    No suggestions, apart from changing to a non-Apple display such as a LaCie one.
    I think Apple really makes a mistake with the new displays - they are nifty, granted, if you want to watch TV or the like, but they'll loose the professionals, working all day long with their displays.
    1. the new displays have an excellent resolution, no trouble there, but they are like mirrors, reflecting lamps, etc. and very tiring for the eyes. That's already a problem with my MacBook Pro but I've got to accept it - what else is there to do - and fortunately it's only my secondary system.
    2. we have gotten used to 30" and do not want to downgrade.
    I am a translator and need to work with technical plants and several open files, so 30" really helped facilitate work. And now that's all gone as the 27" display definitely is not up to scratch for day-long work...
    I ordered a 30" display right when it became available, so it's quite old now. I worry what I'll do when it breaks down ...

  • My apple ID password works for all of my devices but one.  i only have one account and have changed the password several times but still cannot get it to work on my iPhone.  any suggestions would be appreciated.

    Thanks for the suggestion, Chris.  I actually did not resolve the issue which is why i did not post an answer. 
    it turns out that my iphone seems to default to an incorrect User ID (it defaults to an @me account, which is not something that i have ever used). 
    even when i change the User ID in my settings for the iTunes store, it still appears when i attempt to get updates for my existing apps.  however, it does seem to use the correct ID when i attempt to purchase new apps.
    If someone actually had an answer to correct this, i would love to update my existing apps. 
    Thank you.

  • Will my MBA work with the new LED Cinema Display

    I have a first generation MBA, model identifier MBA 1.1, and want to know if my mini display adapter will work with the new LED Cinema Display. I believe I have a micro-DVI that is different from the new MacBooks and MacBook Professional models that have a new Mini DisplayPort. If anyone is using this old MBA to new LED Cinema Display combination please let me know.

    Scott,
    The new display isn't shipping from Apple until some time in November so the only direct feedback you'll get is from anyone that's been to the store and played with the demo unit.
    With that being said, it would appear (based on the system specs and requirements, posted on the site) that the new display requires the new adapter type that's found only on the new MacBook, MacBook Pro and MacBook Air.

    I am being prompted for the questions for my apple ID. I have put what I think are the answers and it is still not letting me purchase games from my account. I try to send the answers to my e-mail and I am not getting them.  I had account issues about a year ago where my id was spelled wrong. Could this be associated with that?

  • PLEASE HELP! Does anyone have the software for the old 20" cinema display?

    CAN ANYONE HELP?! Does anyone have the software for the old 20" cinema display model number M88932M/A? (brought early 2004- the version with no control button) I can't find my manual or software CD for my Apple Display anywhere - I can't remember if the screen was even shipped with them. Because do not have this software I can't control anything to do with my screen e.g the brightness/contrast etc.
    I can't find the link to download the software anywhere on the apple website! (I have spent hours looking). If you know the link, I'd be really grateful if you could email it to to me. Or does anyone have the software CD that I could borrow and then return immediately? Please get in touch if you do. Many thanks! email address: [email protected]

    Hi Nathan,
    Thank you so much that was very kind of you! You must have the same screen as me as mine is the clear fronted on too.
    I have downloaded the OS X version, When I went to install it, but I got a message up saying the software was already on my machine. It must part of the Tiger OS, becuase I haven't installed anything.
    I have a quick question for you . . . Should the software you put up for me enable to me run "Display Calibrator Assistant" in the System preference or is the software from the CD hidden something else and I am looking in the wrong place on my mac?
    I did read somewhere when I got under the apple menu there should be a "monitor" menu - I don't have that but that maybe a classic thing?
    Many thanks for you help I really appreciate it!

  • Read all the hype, but is Lion really worth getting unless you need to link up several devices???

    Read all the hype, but is Lion really worth getting unless you need to link up several devices??  e.g. is it worthwhile for a standalone iMac??

    There's a million places on the 'net where you can find opinons on that (have a look here, for example http://applehelpwriter.com/2011/08/01/os-x-lion-10-7-%E2%80%94-the-jurys-verdict / ) and at least several long running threads on this forum too dealing with various opinions.
    As for me, I've reverted to Snow Leopard.

  • Is it still worth getting one?

    I have someone offering a G5 2.0Ghz Dual Processor with a 20in display. The Mac itself is what Im interested in and its in prestine condition. 3 yrs old and used only for graphics design. Has 3GB ram and Im not sure about HDD, but thats no problem. My question is, are they still worth getting? Or should I hold off? Im only using FCP 5.1 for light HD work. Any input would be nice, let me know, thanks!
    GC

    If the price is really low, say $600 or less (taking into account the value of the 20-inch display), it may be. Depends what you want to use it for...
    It will probably do a better job with FCP than your non-Pro MacBook. With 3GB of RAM, it will run Leopard very well. But if you are still going to be using your MacBook most of the time, the Power Mac G5 is a pretty large hunk of metal to be sitting around taking up space.
    I have the last 2.0 GHz model (dual core) from 2005. Someone uses it full-time, and it will be useful for a long time, even if Apple stops supporting it with the latest OS release. But I got it three years ago. I don't think I would get one now.

    Migration assistant failed after 90% of the way; where are the files now and how do I get rid of them?

    Hello.  It looks like I recovered all my keywords attached to photos.  What I did:
    First I located all photos without keywords using a metadata search.
    I found that it seemed to be certain groups of photos that had no keywords.  I decided to at least get the main keyword on all of those in a particular group, like Canyonlands. 
    Once I added one of the keywords, the others all showed up magically!  I then went to each group of photos and added the main keyword, and the others came along and attached to the photos.
    Don't understand why this occurred or why it got fixed, since it was so random.  But, I'm glad to have my keywords restored (I had divided flowers by color, etc. so it was a lot of work!)
    Thanks for the discussion and help.

  • Where can I find the old 20'' Cinema Display?

    Hello, I was wondering where I can find the old 20-inch cinema display (I believe it's called) The ones more popularly seen with Power Mac g4's. They have a somewhat clear base like the iMac's. I remember seeing them in stores close to a year ago, when some places still carried g4 power mac's. If I remember right these are a bit cheaper then the new cinema HD displays. Please respond. Thank you for your time.

    Hi Tom,
    With ADC, video, power and USB feed are all routed through one cable connection. This is a special connection system unique to Apple computer, which is being phased out (as the modern Apple moniotrs have gone back to DVI so that they can also be used on PC's).
    These specs:
    http://www.everymac.com/systems/apple/powermacg5/stats/powermac_g5_quad2.5.html
    suggest that the stock video card the G5 Powermac Quad 2.5 ships with will only supply DVI output. If that is the case, then you will have to use a DVI to ADC adaptor such as as this one:
    http://www.drbott.com/prod/db.lasso?code=0111-DVAD
    To use this type of adaptor, you need a DVI port and a free USB port on the computer.
    Cheers!
