Color with Macbook Pro 15 inch and Cinema Display

Hi Guys,
Had a quick question.
Do you think if i got the New Cinema Displays and connected it to my MBP 15 it would work?
Because it states color cant work great with my macbook pro screen. So if i hook up the Display would that work or does it depend on the video card in my MBP?
Hope i explained my self good.
Thanks in advance for your help.

To add to Mr. Owens response, sure, it may boot as a second screen but then you need a dedicated input/output device and proper production/broadcasting/grade monitor to actually see what you're doing. How will you achieve this with your rig?

  • Compatibility of Past-Years Cinema Display with Macbook Pro Late 2011, and other displays.

    Hello.
    I'm inquiring about the compatibility of Apple cinema displays from years past with Macbook Pro 15" Late 2011.
    For instance, will all Apple Cinema Displays from, say, 2008 onwards work with my mbook?
    They can be had fairly cheaply on the used market.
    What is the earliest model that will be compatible?
    I've never had an external monitor for my lappies, so I am very clueless. I know DVI is a common connection, but there is no DVI port on my lappie.
    I would also be very curious as to what would be suitable displays from other manufacturers, particularly Samsung and Dell.
    The size doesn't have to be big, 20-23 inch is fine, I am more worried about good resolution [no obvious pixellation]
    If a screen is big, but has good resolution that's even better of course, but I'm not ****-bent on a big thing.
    The mbook 15" screen is just a bit squashy for home use really.
    Thank you very much in advance for any advice.
    Feel free to link me to other threads as an answer, I have done a bit of searching around, but still confused.

    I have the same MBP and recently bought a 23" cinema display on Craigslist for $140.  It works great.  I had a display port to DVI adapter and it worked fine.  Built a stand to hold the laptop vertically so it's out of the way.  Don't know about older displays but anything with DVI should work fine.
    The screen size and resolution are great for photo editing.  I now have the best of both worlds, a display that rivals my wife's iMac and portability.

  • MacBook Pro, 27 inch LED Cinema Display and OSX 10.7

    I do have a MacBook Pro and 27 inch Cinema Display. To improve the wireless connection I have to open the macbook. Doing so whilst running OSX 10.7 my Cinema Display changes autimaticaly to the settings of the MacBook display.
    With OSX 10.6 this was OK.
    Is this a bug or does anybody know how to overcome the change in display whilst opening the MacBook ?

    Hi,

  • Mid 2009 13" MacBook pro mini-dp to Cinema Display screen jumps from blue to desktop

    I'm using a kanex brand iAdapt mini-dp to dvi adapter to connect my macbook pro to my 23" cinema display from early 2007, but it seems like the macbook is having trouble recognizing that the display is connected. The screen will go blue for a second, then show the desktop, then go back to blue. it repeats like this for as long as the adapter is plugged in.
    I've gotten the screen to connect properly twice, but as soon as I unplug my laptop and try to plug it back in another day, I run into the same issue as before. I've seen other discussions about screen flickering, but this isn't really a flicker. Not sure if anyone else has experienced this, though it seems likely that this has happened before.
    Any solutions? Thanks!

    I bought a 15-inch MacBook a month ago, I would change the MacBook Pro 15-inch Glossy Widescreen Display in MacBook Pro 15-inch Hi-Res Antiglare Widescreen Display... is possible? and how much will it cost?

    Thanks! but there is a problem, I'm Italian and I live near Milan, and certainly I find it hard to send my mac. An Apple Store will not do this type of intervention?

  • Installation of 27" cinema display with macbook pro silver key and bootcamp

    For everyone out there who may be interested in using the new 27" cinema display with an older Macbook Pro Intel with silver keys and bootcamp.
    What is needed:
    1. Apple 27" cinema display.
    2. Macbook pro Intel silver key model
    3. Altona Dual Link DVI to Mini DisplayPort Converter (Model AT-DP400)
    4. Bootcamp 3.1 drivers from Mac OSX Snow Leopard V10.6.3(retail)
    Procedure:
    1. Update your display software on the Mac OS side. Apple has posted an update on their software downloads page, "LED Cinema Display Software Update 1.0" After doing so, make sure that the 27" CinDisp is operating correctly and you can change the brightness from the system settings.
    2. On the Windows side, install the bootcamp 3.1 drivers. These are on the Snow Leopard distribution CD. However, there is a bug in the .msi installer that causes the installation to go into an endless loop. This must be resolved during the installation of the drivers. The following article discribes how to do this:
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2305631&tstart=0
    3. After you have successfully installed the bootcamp 3.1 drivers, then install Apple's bootcamp update: "Apple Magic Trackpad and 27-inch LED Cinema Display Update for Windows 32 bit".
    Good luck, it works!

  • Issues with MacBook Pro 13-Inch i7 2011 with Lion help is mostly welcome

    Hello I had some Issues with my MacBook Pro 13-Inch i7 - 2011.. Whenever i enter/exit safari i get the rainbow circle and my MacBook keeps freezing every now and then it's really annoying i get the rainbow circle when i try to shut down the computer aswell and sometimes the computer gets stuck with a white screen whenever i try to shut down the system.. I have 8gb ram and SSD i'd want some help on how to fix these issues please
    Edit: The computer freezes when i play games aswell for around 8 seconds when it's newly started so i doubt it's anything to do with the heath it's something wrong with Lion since i never had it when i had Snow Leopard on this computer please help me with what i can do without reinstalling my iOS since i can't do that now i'm at vacation with a slow network which is around 0.85Mbit/s... I'm new to Mac so i have no clue how to repair the iOS same as Windows computers when you just insert the CD and press repair

    Well, if you are on the road you could try to do this:
    1. boot with the Alt key pressed
    2. select the recovery drive
    3. reinstall Lion
    Hope you left a backup at home!
    Good luck...

  • What internal hard drive is compatible with Macbook Pro (13-inch, Mid 2012)?

    I live in India. I have a MacBook Pro (13-inch, Mid 2012). My Macbook crashed 3 days ago. Apple said the internal hard disk needed replacement. They gave me two options.
    1. They get a new hard drive replaced from Apple for 12000 INR (280$),
    or 2. If you find it expensive, you can buy an internal hard disk from sources other than Apple and we will fix it in for you.
    I have decided to go with option 2, because option 1. is not feasible for me!
    Now my question is,
    What type of internal hard disk should I buy?
    or
    What are the specifications for the internal hard drive that must be met to suit my MBP?
    Getting my internal hard disk replaced is something I've never done before.
    I have a MBP, (13-inch, Mid 2012 model)

  • I just installed Lion 3 days ago, now my audio won't work, unless I use headphones, also space bar glitches, and other software issues..MacBook Pro 15 inch, and most everything is messed,,but the audio is killing me.

    I installed Lion a few days ago, ever since then my audio won't work, unless I use my headphones.  Also, the saver screen with password changes frequently, and the space bar works when it wants to.  There are many other issues I am having.  My IPhoto,,does not work properly, pages is not working, I have all versions.  The Office Suite is acting strange, and my email accounts work when they want,,,my IPhone 4 won't sync anymore.  The list is endless...does anyone else have this problem?

    Your wifi problem sounds very much like the problem I had. The wifi would drop out, the icon showed it was still connected. If I turned it off, I couldn't turn it back on. Another user here pointed me to the problem, which was the wifi cable (the flat cable goint from the card to the motherboard). I found it on ebay for $13 and it's been running fine since I replaced it. This is the repair guide for your machine. The part number will be on there if you click the link.

  • Since when is iMovie not compatible with MacBook Pro 13-inch?

    went to upload some Christmas Eve videos into iMovie and get an error messages stating the iMovie does not support my computer...which it sure allowed me to purchase, use and update as recently as September!
    Since when did Apple start deciding to not make the very software they promote as idea for users, then go and make them not work on a system that is not even 1.5 years old?!!! Steve Jobs would not have agreed to something so stupid! Apple, fix the problem or you are moving more and more closer to Microsoft than I thought.
    THIS IS PURE ******** AND I INTEND TO POST THIS ON EVERY MAC FORUM

    Here is the message I am getting:
    OK, I can edit HD video on my iPhone, but the hardware on my MacBook Pro can't handle it? Really?!! Come on Apple, I am not that stupid...and if this is the direction you were going, when are you going to finally produce a legitimate MacBook Pro 13-inch with video memory?
    All of those poor college kids and other people who purchased a computer that doesn't even support a simple, feature poor video editing program, but...I can run all kinds of other labor intensive program all day long...including 3rd party HD video editing software.
