23" CHD-Display (ADC) flicker rushes

You have to see it to believe it:
http://www.wysiwyg.de/23/ - quicktime movie filmed from screen
Magenta-coloured pixelstorms rush over the entire screen, producing weird dithered artefacts. Card is an ATI 9000 Pro V250, but I already swapped it, still facing the same problem.
Has anybody seen this before?
Any idea? Help!!!

I experienced something similar on my 30in where I would get these red colored horizontal streaks that would cross the screen, they would almost flicker on and off.
I turned the display off then back on and it was gone. So I know for sure its the display, but I havent run into it again. If your getting it consistently I would suggest you change the display.

  • How do I connect a new Thunderbolt MBP to and old 23" HD Cinema Display ADC port

    A question Im sure many have asked but I cant find a straight forward answer.
    I simply will be buying a new thunderbolt MBP 15 and NEED to connect it an old 23" Apple Cinema Display that uses the old ADC connector.
    Can I do it and if so how? I realise theres a potential under powering issue?
    Thanks

    Hello Sigh
    I am sure there is no way to get your ADC connector display to function with your new Mac Book Pro.
    I tried everying I could and gave up and purchased a 24" Apple refurbbished Cinema Display for $599 + tax on 4/27/2011. The Apple part number is FBXXXXL/A, Model A1287.
    Gave my  year 2002 ADC 22" display to a friend.

    Got my new MBP 2011 today. Hooked it up to my 23" Apple Cinema Display fine, using the Apple DVI to ADC converter > Mini Display port adaptors. I could then mirror display, but only at 1440 x 900 resolution.
    My dream is to have it like my old laptop--I mostly leave it shut, and main display is on the Cinema Display. So far, if I close the laptop lid on my new MBP, display shuts off. Also, can't get it to bump up the resolution to 1920.
    Sigh.

  • 23" HD Display (ADC/2004 model); Display Software Won't Load

    I have a Quicksilver 733Mhz w/OSX Tiger and just bought a used 23" HD Cinema Display (ADC) which works great. Yet as the menu bar appears very small I thought the Display S/W (v2.2.2) will not load--during license agreement/select destination load, there's an (!)Warning stating "this Disp. s/w req's Mac OSX v. 10.1.3 to be inst'd on the disk". I bought the Q'Silver 733 used and it came w/Panther installed. Do I have to start from scratch installing and older OSX (OSX 10.1) and incrementally update it thru all newer versions until I reach what I'm running now (10.4.2)? I cannot find ANY display s/w updates in Downloads, and have run out of resources. Any advice will be greatly appreciated! Thanks, Ken K.

    Hi Ken,
    Welcome to the discussions. If you have installed Tiger properly, all the required drivers for this display (and the graphics card) will have been bundled in that (Tiger) installation. You shouldn't need to install drivers.
    In fact, do not attempt to load in display drivers that are older than the system you have running, that may cause serious conflicts.
    You mention that the menu bar is a bit small for your liking. Have a look in Display Preferences and see what screen resolutions are available - you might find something that works better for you.
    By the way, what graphics card do you have installed?
    Cheers!

  • Is it possible to connect an old cinema display (ADC) to an Imac (2012)?

    Hello,
    I want to add a second screen to my Imac and I found a Cinema Display (ADC). I went to see the screen and i connect it to my Macbook to test if it works. The guy who sold the screen had an ADC to DVI adapter and I bought an DVI to thunderbolt connector. It didn't work. He also tried to connect it to his Imac and still the screen didn't work. Is it even possible to connect the screen to an Imac?

    Is it the Apple version of the DVI to ADC adapter?  The signals from a Mini DisplayPort (or Thunderbolt) to DVI adapter may be weaker than normal DVI signals.  The Apple DVI to ADC adapter amplifies the DVI signals, so can work with signals that are too weak for non-Apple adapters.
    An ACTIVE Mini DisplayPort to DVI adapter may produce stronger DVI signals.

  • Will NVIDIA GeForce2 TwinView drive a 23" CHD display?

    My 17" Studio Display (ADC) went completely dark (dead) yesterday and I was thinking of getting a new Apple 23" Cinema HD display (DVI). I would like some informed opinions as to whether my current G4 NVIDIA GeForce2 TwinView (64MB) card will adequately drive the 23" HD display to full resolution. If not, what limitations would I run up against? Would the Apple 20" Cinema HD (DVI) display be a better choice? If yes, why? If neither of these would work correctly, can anyone recommend a graphics card update? Genius Bar at my local Apple store said use the ADC to DVI adapter and I would have no problems but I am very suspicious of that answer. Any insights would be helpful.

    Got the new monitor hooked up last night, and all is working properly.
    It replaced a 21" Apple CRT that lasted nearly 9 years. It would periodically just turn off - could be after 5 hours or 5 minutes. I am guessing it's a relay in decline, which after investigation I decided was a fix I didn't want to get into either DIY or paid repair.

  • URGENT HELP NEEDED Re: 17" Studio Display ADC

    Recently, I gave a good friend of mine my old PowerMac G4 500 with DVI/VGA connector. I also bought a 17" Studio Display (ADC) to go with it, but I thought that an ADC to DVI connector would work with the monitor. It doesn't because, as I learned later, the display uses an analogue signal that the adapter cannot translate for the computer. There are suggestions that the G4 500 does not work at all with the 17" Studio Display (ADC) but I don't know whether this is actually true.
    So my question is this: are there any adapters on the market that will work with the 17" Studio Display and the PowerMac G4 500?
    Been looking everywhere for info, but nothing concrete. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    The Apple and Dr. Botts DVI to ADC adapters do not provide the RGB analog signals needed for a CRT monitor. The Gefen adapter
    <http://www.gefen.com/kvm/product.jsp?prod_id=1203> does provide these signals but its power supply is not designed for the extra power a CRT display needs. See <http://www.applefritter.com/node/4008>
    In the link, one person was using the Gefen adapter with a CRT, but the power supply was getting VERY hot. Buying the Gefen adapter and a new, bigger, power supply, would be the easiest way to get things to work. The only cable cutting would be moving the cable from the Gefen power supply to the new power supply. That would just be a two wire cable. If you can find the matching plug for the Gefen power supply, you wouldn't have to use the Gefen power cable, but make your own, which is probably better because Gefen might be using wires too small for the extra current.

  • Mac mini display is flicking via HDMI to DVI adapter and DVI cable

    i have received mac mini server (mid 2011) recently. mac mini is connecting the display via HDMI port using DVI cable with a HDMI to DVI adapter.
    the display shows constant flicking. white dots/lines show randomly. it is like those signal noise when watching analog TV.
    the same display works fine and well with macbook pro (early 2008) via DVI port.
    please help. please advise.

    So you know the display is working.
    It seems to me you have a few possible problems.
    1 HDMI-DVI cable is bad
    2 DVI-cable is bad
    3 Connections between cables or computer or monitor are bad.
    4 HDMI port on the computer is bad.
    I assume you've tried #3, and re-connected cables and wiggled inputs.  So then try replacing 1 and then replacing 2 which are cheaper fixes than replacing/fixing 4.........
    FYI, I'm connect my mac mini using the same setup you describe, with no issues....also inspect the cable ends carefully to look for any problems.

    My video card has a VGA and an ADc connector. Connected my 19" monitor using VGA connector.
    Got a Belkin ADC to DVI adaptor for the ADC output.
    Got a DVI to HDMI cable to connect to the TV.
    Everything plugged together Ok.
    On powering up the Mac, the Widescreen TV shows the grey screen with the apple symbol and the spinning wheel, this disappears and the 19" monitor comes on. This displays the desktop picture, but no icons appear and that's all that happens. Power off theMac, power off the Widescreen TV, power on the Mac and it comes up normally. The grey bootup screen appears on the 19".
    So how do I get the system to recognise BOTH displays. I've played with the System Preferences, but because the system won't recognise both screens I can't switch on the mirror option.
    Any thoughts on the problem welcome.

    I take it that OS10.5.5 is detecting my Viewsonic VA1912w Screen connected to the VGA; but for some reason has decided that there is NO display (my HDTV via HDMI) connected to the ADC.
    I've been playing with this for a day or two now. With both screens attached and powered on I power on the G4. The grey "boot up" screen with the Apple logo and spinning wheel appears on the HDTV screen, meaning the Mac has found it and is using it. While this is happening the Viewsonic is grey.
    Then both screen go black, the Viewsonic goes blue, then puts up an old desktop picture, while the HDTV remains black. And that's all that happens.
    I have to disconnect the HDMI cable from the HDTV, power down the HDTV & the Mac, then power on the Mac again to get it back.
    So why would the Mac detect the HDTV, then decide it's not there?
    I've tried adjusting the display settings and frequencies to no avail.
    Anyone?

  • 23" HD Cinema Display ADC - New Power Mac DVI

    Is it necessary to get an adaptor that supplies power, like the DVator, or will a simple cable adaptor do the same job? Thanks.

    You need a DVI to ADC adapter to provide power to the display

  • No video on Mac Pro 266 + 20" Apple Cinema Display + ADC to DVI Adapter

    When I boot my Mac Pro, I don't get a video signal. I currently have a 20" Apple Cinema Display (clear case) connected via an ADC to DVI adapter. I have connected the monitor/adapter on a Powerbook G4 wihout any issues, which rules out the monitor. I've tried everything: resetting PRAM/NVRAM, motherboard reset button, unplugging everything...nothing works.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    Are you guys using the ADC to DVI adapter or the DVI to ADC adapter?
    I have a clear 23" cinema display and I was thinking of getting a new Mac Pro... From what I can tell, you need the DVI to ADC adapter that sells for $100+. Is that correct?

  • Why does displayed data flicker?

    I am acquiring temperature from three RTDs and I want to display the real-time temperature on the front panel.  If i use the DAQ Express I have no problem doing so. However, I am trying to avoid using the DAQ Express and use DAQmx instead. On my front panel I have a numeric indicator for each RTD, but when I use the DAQmx to read in the 3 RTDs, the data flickers between 0 and the correct temperature measurent.  I've adjusted the sampling frequency and the number of samples to see if that affected it, which it didn't.  How can I display the real time data without it flickering between 0 and the correct measurment?
    Thanks!

    Acquire RTD and Analog Voltage.vi ‏18 KB

    Hi guys,
    I agree with voodoo_ that the issue is that you are calling DAQmx Read when there are no samples available.  In this case, DAQmx Read will return a null array (since you have not specified the number of samples to read).  Since it looks like you are only interested in a software timed update, I would recommend modifying your code to the following:
    While inserting a wait into the while loop would likely also remedy the problem, I don't see the need for a continuous acquisition in this example.  If you do need continuous acquisition, you can connect the Number of Samples to Read Per Channel input of DAQmx Read which will delay the loop according to how many samples you want to acquire per iteration.

  • Coverflow causes external display to flicker when rotated

    Hi,
    I have a new MBP 15", 2.2GHz, 2GB with Leopard installed, and I have an external monitor (a Lenovo Thinkvision L201p) which can be rotated into portrait mode, and that is how I use it almost all the time.
    The problem I have is that whenever I browse something using coverflow, be it in the Finder or in iTunes, the external display flickers (sometimes quite badly) as the items move. This happens even if the application that is using coverflow is on a different space (for example, if I have iTunes on a different space and it switches to a different song). It only happens when in rotated mode, in landscape mode the flickering goes away.
    Does anyone have any ideas what could be causing this? Maybe an issue with the video driver? Can someone reproduce this?
    Thanks.

    This was solved in 10.5.3.

  • Help my Display does flicker

    Hey i have a iMac G3 400 and the dispaly dies flicker.. what is there wrong? who can help me?

    Hello and welcome to the discussion boards!
    Have you checked for interference? That is, electromagnetic interference from cordless phones, speakers, in the power supply (house's circuit), or HDDs?
    The reason I ask is that I was experiencing the exact same issues - until I traced it to my external Hard drives being too close to the back of the iMac - the magnets in the drive head were affecting the CRT anode. Moving the drives to ~18 inches (45 cm?) from the monitor helped. I also noticed that talking on a cell phone near the Mac, or having external sattelite speakers up too loud can have an effect. The iMacs don't have great EM shielding, i suppose.
    As per what I said about the household power circuit - have you ever plugged a vacuum into the same outlet as a TV, and noticed the fuzz on the TV? More or less the same thing - noise being transmitted through the power supply.
    Hope that helps,
    Dan

  • IMac 27" inch display screen flicker issue when moving files

    Whenever a drop a file from Finder to my desktop, the screen flickers.  Occasionally, when I move a window, it also flickers, but it's a more consistent problem when dropping the files on the desktop.  It only flickers once and returns to a completely normal state.
    It does NOT happen when going the other way - from the desktop to Finder.
    I purchased the iMac AFTER the original firmware updates, so I haven't had to install any of them from the original problem a couple years ago. 
    I am wondering if this is a problem that is discussed or if there are any suggestions.
    Thanks....

    I'm having the same problem. Here are the details I was about to post as a separate thread:
    27" iMac 2.7GHz Intel Core i5 with 16Gb RAM. I'm also using a 20" ACD alongside, a set up I have used with my previous 24" iMac. The ACD is being used as an extended desktop (not mirrored).
    I've just started noticing an odd effect: When moving a file from a folder onto the desktop, the entire iMac screen flickers and breaks up momentarily before reverting to normal. It is an effect which lasts a fraction of a second and is visually very intrusive.
    Weirdly, if I move the file but continue to hold it for a second before releasing to place it on the desktop, there is no flicker.
    Similarly, if I open another folder and place the window alongside, moving a file from window to window produces no flicker. It only happens when moving something to the desktop.
    The effect does not happen if the ACD is turned off (but connected) or the ACD is used in Mirror mode.
    Does this sound like a hardware or software fault?

  • MBP Display Brightness Flicker

    Not sure what is happening, it just started recently. I have a 17" MBP with LED monitor and C2D (pre-i5 series). I cover the light sensor and the screen dims/brightens as it should. However, every so often or not the screen starts flickering like the light sensor is being shielded. I'm in a brightly lit room. The only thing I could think is earlier today I was at a meeting and I forgot my charger. I used a buddy who had a 15" MBP (pre-i5 series) to charge my laptop. I can't remember if the 15" and 17" used different watt chargers?
    I figure I ask before I head into Apple tomorrow.

    Thats what I thought.
    Strange, it's not doing it now. Maybe its some kind of weird reflection in my office doing it. It is a light sensor and even the slight hue tint could set it off.
    Although it's quite annoying when it does happen LOL. Might still have Apple take a peak tomorrow.
