20" Display to vibrant on MacBook Pro

Hello -
I have a MacBook pro and a 20" ACD - the display is to vibrant - the colours do not seem natural or neutral. The MacBook display seems more neutral.
I had a colour expert in to calibrate the ACD and the display on the MacBook. We could not get a 'match' using hardware calibration - the Monaco spider thing.
He suggests it may be a defective display.
Anyone else here of a similar issue?

I've got the same problem. My MacBook Pro seems more neutral but at the same time washed out in contrast to the 23" ACD. It must either be some graphic card related isse or a faulty MacBook Pro display.
Regards,
Roman
P.S.: What are your MacBook Pro's and ACD's serial numbers, btw?

  • Whats the maximum resolution resolution supported @ 60 Hz on an external display for mid 2014 macbook pro retina 13 inch ?

    whats the maximum resolution supported @ 60 Hz on an external display for mid 2014 macbook pro retina 13 inch ?

    I don't know where you found 1920x1080, but that isn't the max. The INTERNAL display can even support more than that.
    The maximum resolution is really hardware based, and since Thunderbolt 2 has a Mini displayport connector (Mini Displayport 1.2), the max resolution for Mini Displayport is 4k (3840x2160).
    PLEASE NOTE: Not all adapters can support that resolution, most monitors that can run 4k @60Hz have Displayport 1.2 (The most recent revision), Mini Displayport 1.2, and HDMI 2.0. DVI dual link can run 4k, but only 24-30Hz, depending on the monitor.
    Hope this helps!!

  • Can Iuse non Apple display with a new MacBook Pro?

    Can I use a non Apple display with a new MacBook Pro?
    Special connections?

    Only thing you need is a minidisplayport-to-? adapter ... plugs into Thunderbolt port.  ? is replaced by VGA or HDMI or DVI.
    I have used high-quality brand names (LG, Samsung) that were picked because I liked the display and have had no issues.
    I will add that some threads speak of issues with some Dell monitors that work spottily if at all.  But only from reading other threads.

  • Why won't the Thunderbolt port (Mini Display) on a 2011 MacBook Pro drive a DVI Display?

    I'm trying to use a MonoPrice 5106 Mini Display to DVI adapter and a DVI cable to drive an Acer H233H 23" HD display.  I'm driving it from the Thunderbolt Port (Mini Display) on a 2011 MacBook Pro.  It doesn't work.  I use a similar MonoPrice adapter (5311) to drive the HDMI input on this monitor from the Thunderbolt port and it works fine.
    I can drive the DVI input on the Acer display from an older iMac using a MonoPrice 4851 Mini-DVI to DVI adapter and this same DVI cable and it works just fine.
    So, why won't it work from the MacBook Pro?  Do I need the much more expensive Monoprice 6904 dual link DVI adapter ($69)?  Why isn't this mentioned in the MacBook Pro manual or on the MacBook Pro support page?  MonoPrice says this 5106 adapter should work and if not to try the more expensive 6904 adapter.  Need a better reason to buy the more expensive adapter.
    Help please.
    Thanks,
    Vee

    Just saw your question.  Just like it's Apple counterpart, the 5106 is not capable of higher resolutions.  You should, in theory, be able to drive your Acer display at lower resolutions with the 5106.  And the 5106 may be sufficient for a 23" monitor . . . you'd need to check the maximum resolution for each.
    But you definitely do need the 6904 for higher resolutions.  That's what 30" monitors and other high-res displays require.

  • I can't seem to run 3 external displays of off my MacBook Pro 13inc with Retina.

    I can't seem to run 3 external displays of off my MacBook Pro 13inc with Retina (2.8GHz Intel Core i7, 16GB 1600 MHz DDR3, 512GB SD driven, OS X 10.9.3) It only picks ups 2 displays. I also have a 15inch Mac Book Pro with Retina that can run all 3 screens. Any suggestions, please?

    The late 2013 MacBook Pro Retina 13 inch screen model can power three external displays in addition to its own.
    Here is a video showing three external displays working; 1 HDMI, 1 MiniDisplay Port, and 1 thru USB using a Startech external video card to DVI adapter. All the external displays are old 23 inch Apple Cinema Displays hooked up thru each monitor's Apple Display Connector (ADC), then to Apple ADC to DVI adapters, then a third adapter (HDMI, USB, MiniDisplayport). So ADC/ADC to DVI/DVI to whatever/MacBook. The monitors are probably older than some of the users on this board. The USB to DVI external card/adapter is what makes it work, and it's less than $70 online.

  • How Can I Connect 2 External Display Monitors to a MacBook Pro? Help

    I want to know if I can (and How to) connect 2 external display monitors to a MacBook Pro... late 2006 & the new Unibody MBP.
    I'll appreciate

    Requires additional hardware - the Matrox DualHead2Go. For the late 2006, you'd need the DualHead2Go Digital Edition, and for the unibody you'd need the DualHead2Go DP Edition, with appropriate cabling (and a DVI-to-VGA adapter for the late 2006 MBP).

    If the iMac is a 21-inch model, you need to use a product such as ScreenRecycler over a network.
    If the iMac is a 27-inch model, click here and follow the instructions.
