21 inch Widescreen LCD

I bought the gateway 21 inch monitor as it has component capabilities 3 months ago. Now when I first turn it on the monitor goes into sleep mode every minute or so except only power cycling it turns if back on the input button will not. Gateway is trying to say its the graphics card. it does this on the VGA (down converted) and DVI port. Do you know of any compatibility issues?

Swapping the card and monitor fixed this. Ultimatly it was the Monitor. I am concerned that the replacment is going to break. It is showing some of the earlier signs of failure.

24" Widescreen LCD Acer goes blank

I have a 17" Macbook pro and a 24 inch widescreen LCD monitor by Acer (al2423w). I am trying to use both monitors in mirrored mode (lid up) using a usb mouse and the macbooks keyboard.
I have tried connecting the acer through the dvi-vga adapter and I've tried a direct dvi connection and the same thing happens with each - the acer works and then goes blank. Now I know the acer works because I used it as the primary display for my PC but for some reason when connected to my mac it works perfectly/beautifully/wonderfully for about 10 seconds... and then goes blank without any blinking error lights, or messages.
The monitor is detected, connected, powered, and even works and displays in mirrored mode but then for some reason stops. While it's working I can even change the resolutions and refresh rates without any problems.
I would greatly appreciate any explanations for this issue.

ViewSonic VX2235wm widescreen LCD

I'm a new Mac user - received my mini last night. I bought a 22 inch Viewsonic widescreen LCD (VX2235wm) and am happy to say that the Mac Mini supports the monitor's native resolution of 1680x1050 (DVI connection).
mac mini

I recently bought the 22" Viewsonic widescreen (VX2235) for my Mac mini. I've found that if I do anything too video intensive (e.g. watch video or use Photoshop) for very long that I get "snow" or "static" running through my screen. Then it will just turn off as if there isn't a signal. It usually comes back up quickly but the problem persists and after a short time it won't come back up. Then it will say that the frequency is out of range. I called Viewsonic and they said to call the computer manufacturer because it was probably my video card. I have the ATI Radeon 9200 card with 32MB DDR. I am using the DVI cable that came with the monitor. At first I thought it was the particular monitor, but after exchanging it, I still had the problem. Any thoughts or help would be appreciated.
Thanks,

Intel iMac 17 inch replacement lcd???

hello all,
i need a new lcd for my 2006 c2duo imac 17 inch, the lcd is a LM171w02-TL B2 but im have trouble finding one anywhere for a sensible price. Ebay maybe the last option!
Does anyone know if a compatible PC monitor lcd would fit? I know that lost of LG screens don't seem to work...
it seems it may need to be a LM171w01-TL B1 or B2...
thank you

hello,
disassembly of the imac is not an issue, i have worked with PCs and macs for years. Ive had the screen out already to get the model number and easily refitted it. its an easy procedure to be honest. As for an external screen, yes im using a 19 inch LCD at the moment via the DVi out but its not something i really wish to do for long.
Your correct about the cost, it seems some Apple resellers think that a 17 inch LCD is some how worth the same as a 24 Inch LCD!
I had hoped that someone could tell me of a compatible screen , HP and Comqac laptops use very similar LCDs and they cost a third on an Apple screen which is made by LG/Philips as is the HP, Compaq type.
the Apple part is a LM171w02 - TL-B1 / B2
the hp and others use LP171xx - TL-B1/B2 and variants of it..

Quicksilver G4 + Widescreen LCD DVI problem - VERY VERY WEIRD!

Hi,
I bought a G4/867 Quicksilver off eBay. It came with Panther. I already have a 20.1" BenQ widescreen LCD.
I installed Tiger, then noticed the DVI display would fail (display strange blue/black artefacts or a 'fuzzy screen'. I have screenshots if anybody wants them. It is intermittent, and usually occurs after one of the following events:
* powering on the computer
* waking from sleep
* switching from VGA (my pc) input to DVI (my mac) via the monitor
I tested:
* another video card (with native DVI): same problem
* another computer (Mac mini): no problem
* VGA: no problem
I returned the unit and got another. I ran Panther on it for a week with no problems. I just upgraded to Tiger. All the problems above are now happening again. It happened both on 10.4.0 and 10.4.6 (i.e. pre and post update).
If anyone has any experience at all in this, please post here or let me know if you need more info.
G4 Quicksilver 867 Mac OS X (10.4.6) 20.1" BenQ Widescreen LCD

Sorry, forgot to mention it is independent of screen resolution.
Native screen res is 1680x1050. And it works perfectly sometimes, just not reliably. Have tried at 1024x768, 1280x1024, 640x480 and replicated the fault on all of them.
It also happens at startup, which made me think hardware. But it could be as the OS display drivers are loading. The fact that it worked with Panther makes me think software.
Images available:
http://www.geekhut.com/mac1.jpg
http://www.geekhut.com/mac2.jpg
If it doesn't fail, the screen looks perfect. The same screen also works with a PC and other macs.
To clarify, the G4 is using an ADC-->DVI converter, but fault in this has been eliminated by:
- using the same converter with another dvi monitor (no problem)
- installing a native dvi graphics card in the g4 (same problem)

LG 29EA93 29 inch Widescreen LED Monitor Lightroom Issue

When I use Lightroom with the LG 29EA93 29 inch Widescreen LED Monitor Lightroom 5 initially looks and works OK but when I try and make changes using develop I get a gray area where the image should be (see below). I have tried other resolutions and that made no difference. Other apps/programs work fine.
I tried my old monitor 1680x1050 and Lightroom 5 functions fine on that one.
Any suugestions would be appreciated.

Uninstalling the LG software will resolve this problem.

IBook G4 and External Widescreen LCD?

Hi All,
I've been using the Screen Spanning Doctor successfully for a couple months, but am looking into getting a 19" widescreen LCD display (the Acer AL1916W to be exact).
Does anyone have any experience with hooking an iBook G4 up to an external widscreen display using the hack?
Thanks,
James

using a 24" widescreen Dell and the hack allows you to run it at the native resolution... you'll have no problems.

Is Satellite C650D compatible with an 18.5 inch Widescreen LED Monitor?

Hi.
Can anyone tell me if my laptop reference above in the subject line is compatable with the
Hanns G HL195 18.5 inch Widescreen LED Monitor.
I want to use my laptop in dual role, but not sure if it will work.
If it is compatable how do you connect the monitor up to the laptop.
thanks
dean

Hi
Generally speaking any external monitor is compatible.
But the question is how do you want to connect the external monitor to the notebook
For example the Satellite C650D-10H supports the External monitor port (RGB port) only.
So you need to use this port in order to connect the external monitor.
It seems that the Hanns G HL195 18.5 inch Widescreen LED Monitor supports the VGA input so you should be able to connect this monitor using common VGA cable.

Bill, I have this monitor hooked up to my new Mac mini (Core Duo) via DVI, and it works at full 1440x900 resolution (at least that's what the LCD itself and the Settings screen on the Mac both say). I'm still working out the best font smoothing setting, as the default isn't so great, but the display definitely seems to work at full resolution with no setup required on my part. Not sure if it'll work on G4 or G5 machines, but it seems to do just fine on my Intel-based box.

HT1338 How much is a iMac 20-inch widescreen computer 2007 going for now of days?

So I am going to try to sell my iMac 20-inch widescreen computer from 2007, and I am trying to use that money to buy a MacBook Air before August 14th and I was just wondering how much I should sell it for.

As a buyer of a used computer, I value installed software at zero, since I already have the apps I want. An erase-and-install on a used computer is sensible anyway, to get a clean system.
On the other hand, I value Applecare on a used computer at at least half of the cost of the coverage, and the third year of warranty is the most valuable one!

Which Graphics Card for a 40 inch HDTV LCD or Plasma Monitor for the best

Which Graphics Card for a 40 inch HDTV LCD or Plasma Monitor for the best value and price?
Hi, I was wondering if I replace my current standard graphics card for a MacPro Early 2008 for a graphics card for a 40" HDTV, which was is the best for the price and value? My current card when used with such a large monitor/ TV isn't very good, I think? So thinking of updating...

This sounds like a price match question. Without knowing all the details, it sounds like a yes for the Westinghouse, but I would encourage you to read the price match policy link here:
http://www.bestbuy.com/site/Help-Topics/Bestbuy.com-Price-Match-Guarantee/pcmcat204400050011.c?id=pc...
If all you care about is 1080p definition and an HDMI input at a $300 price point then this tv should suit your needs. (As a bonus it has 120Hz refresh for smoother action scenes.)http://www.bestbuy.com/site/Westinghouse+-+40%26%2334%3B+Class+-+LCD+-+1080p+-+120Hz+-+HDTV/5772998....

Dell 20.1 Inch UltraSharp LCD 2007FP Widescreen

I've found several postings that this will work with the MBP. I've got one on order. Does anyone have any recommendations for setting this up? I plan to use the DVI connection, laptop lid closed, BT mouse and keyboard.
I did try this out at work using a Dell 19" display. I didn't have time to fool around with adjustments as the user of the Dell 19" display need to put the machine back in service.
Any recommendation on picture adjustment would be appreciate. Can you use Apple's software to make these tweaks, or is it all going to be done using the Dell LCD's front panel buttons?
Wanted to go all Apple, but just can afford it right now. I hope I don't live to regret it!

I have that exact same setup, the Dell Widescreen 20.1 inch and the MacBook Pro, and you can adjust settings in Preferences as well as on the display menu (fine tuning), but you shouldn't have to. the monitor is designed to be automatic---it sends the display info to the computer for auto setup.
Starting with the MBP and the Dell display off, I connected them with the DVI connection, turned on the display and then turned on the MBP. The MBP automatically recognizes the display, and if the MBP lid is open, the display is extended, if you close the lid, everything goes to sleep. Leave the lid closed and use an external keyboard or mouse to wake it up and the Dell display will become the main display. To mirror the displays, you have to go into Preferences; otherwise, it will remain either one display or extended.
I connected an Apple wireless keyboard and wireless Mighty Mouse and it all works great.
The Dell display is just beautiful, and the extra widescreen room makes photo and video editing so much easier. The other thing I noticed (that I couldn't see on Dell's website) was actually how well the black and aluminum case matches the MBP. Looks very nice together.
The pluses to the Dell display, besides the price, compared to the Apple Cinema display, are that it is thinner, adjusts up and down the full length of the stand, so you can have it up pretty high or down close to the table, instead of just tilted, and it also has a VGA connection for a second computer. On the front is a button to switch between inputs---VGA or DVI---so with two computers attached, I can switch between them without changing cables and connections. And, then there is picture-in-picture if you want to see both at the same time (haven't tried it yet though). And, finally the four USB ports, which are very handy since the MBP only has two.

How to get widescreen (lcd) resolution in xfce (and x in general)?

i just got a 19 inch lcd widescreen... now i dont know how to set a wide resolution i x.. can someone tell me how to get 1440x900 resolution (which is what my monitor supports)...

Xorg probably autoconfigures for the highest resolution your card and monitor can support. If not try if you don't already have it
pacman -S libxrandr
Then
xrandr
It should show you all applicable resolutions for your config. To manually set it in your current session find the number in the collomn SZ and run
xrandr -s #
Then just edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf in the display subsection of the screen section and put in the resolution(s) you want.
This is what mine looks like:
Section "Screen"
Identifier "Screen 1"
Device "Intel 810"
Monitor "My Monitor"
DefaultDepth 24
Subsection "Display"
Depth 8
Modes "1280x1024"

Using a Mac Pro with a 52 inch Vizio LCD

Hello all. I have hooked up my Mac Pro to my Vizio (52 inch LCD). DVI to RGB (using a converter). My Vizio says it has no signal. I called Vizio they said to call apple. I have not called apple yet on this was wondering if anyone else out there has hooked a Mac Pro to a Vizio with success and if so how they did it. I have the NVIDIA GEForce 7300 card.
Thanks in advance for the help.

Hey Tom, Thanks for taking the time to respond. I was losing my mind on this one! Hopefully this will be resolved soon.

Radeon 7000 with a 22" Widescreen LCD Display?

My Dad's 17" CRT monitor on his B&W G3 tower gave up its life, and I'm looking to replace it with a widescreen 22" LCD display (1680*1050 native resolution). The tower's stock ATI Rage 128 (16MB) card is most likely not able to handle this resolution (in addition, it lacks a DVI port, providing only analog output which I find looks rather crummy on an LCD display), so I'd also like to upgrade to a Radeon 7000 with a DVI port. There are a number of these cards floating around on eBay in 32MB and 64MB varieties. I also spotted the Radeon 9200 (PCI variety), which is more costly and probably beyond the needs of my Dad's web-browsing, mail, and iPhoto needs.
Has anyone successfully run a 22" widescreen display at native resolution via a DVI port, using a Radeon 7000? If so, does the 32MB variety suffice, or would I have to look at a 64MB variety? The Radeon 7000 specs page <http://ati.amd.com/products/radeon7000/radeon7000me/specs.html> does not list 1680*1050 resolution (nor any widescreen resolution for that matter), but neither does the specs page for the much more modern Radeon 9200 <http://ati.amd.com/products/radeon9200/radeon9200me/specs.html>, so I figure that the specs pages don't tell the whole story. Thanks for any insights!

Yesterday I picked up a Samsung 216BW 21.6" display with 1680*1050 resolution. Although I'm still awaiting arrival of the Radeon 9200 (64MB) card, I thought I'd try to hook up the monitor to the stock Rage 128 (16MB) card to see what happens. I powered up the B&W G3, and was pleasantly surprised to see the Apple logo appear followed by the startup screen. I logged into my account, and found that the Rage 128 was actually displaying in widescreen mode, albeit at some non-native resolution. Naturally, the next step was to pull down the displays menu and check the other resolution options. The menu read as follows:
SyncMaster
1280 x 1024, 60 Hz, Millions
1680 x 1050, 60 Hz, Millions
1680 x 1050, 60 Hz, Millions
I chose the last item (can't say why this item was listed twice), held my breath, and an instant later was blown away to find the old Rage driving the display at native resolution with a very decent looking image (even though this is over the analogue RGB cable). So I can confirm that the Rage 128 does support a 21.6" widescreen display at native resolution (and I would presume the same applies for 20" and 22" widescreen displays, since they all share the same resolution). I'll also mention that the B&W G3 tower is running Mac OS X 10.4.9.
In any case, I still don't regret having ordered the Radeon, as the Rage 128 does not properly support fullscreen slideshow mode and transitions in iPhoto 5, and my Dad spends a lot of his time dabbling with iPhoto slideshows.
