30" Dell 3007WFP Monitor to G-5

I hope there is help out there? I have a Dell 30" cinema style monitor and I plugged it into my G-5. The images look decent but the text and icons look somewhat jagged / bitmapped / pixelated / choppy (not really sure the best way to explain it). I am somewhat a novice and not sure how I adjust the resolution to fit the monitor. Right now it is at 1280 x 800. There are a limited number of resolution settings. I downloaded the shareware to change the settings, but how do you know what the setting are supposed to be for your monitor. I called Dell and they couldn't give me anything further than what is on their site. As far as I can tell that is not much. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Your card doesn't have dual-link DVI. You could look for a used Mac NVIDIA GeForce 6800 GT DDL or NVIDIA GeForce 6800 Ultra DDL, which were optional on your model of G5, or buy a new card. The fastest is the ATI Radeon® X800 XT MAC Edition RoHS 256MB AGP
<http://shop.ati.com/product.asp?sku=3170810> with one ADC, and one dual-link DVI port.
A cheaper (and slower) board is the ATI Radeon® 9600 Pro PC & MAC Edition RoHS 256MB AGP
<http://shop.ati.com/product.asp?sku=3170809> with one single-link and one dual-link DVI port.

Dell 3007WFP and a Mac Mini

Hey guys
I'm not sure if this is the right forum, but it was the only one that seemed appropriate. I'm thinking about buying a mac mini, and i want to know if it will work with my 30" Dell 3007WFP Monitor.
I know it wont work with the Apple 30" display, and ive found posts saying that the mac mini and dell are compatible, and that they arent. If anyone has a definite answer, (ie: they've done it themselves and know it works) any responses would be great.
Thanks in advance
Glenn

The Mac Mini has a maximum display resolution of 1920 x 1200. the 30" Dell 3007WFP Monitor is 2560 x 1600, so cannot work at full resolution with a Mac Mini. You need a computer with dual-link DVI.

MBP + Dell 3007WFP

Hello,
I have MBP 17" with GF 8600M GT (256MB) video card. I just bought Dell 3007WFP monitor but I can only get 1280x800 out of it. I do have dual link cable and as far as specs say video card capable of doing 2560x1600 resolution. I wonder what is wrong ?
Any suggestion?
Thanks,
M.

Are you sure your cable says "Dual-link" on the cable jacket? It sounds exactly like what would happen if a single link cable were used.

Colour difference issues on wide gamut Dell 3007wfp

Hey guys,
I was wondering if someone could help with this problem that is driving me insane. I have tried a lot of possible solutions I found online, but nothing seems to work.
The problem I've got is that when I save a JPEG in Photoshop through Save for web I get oversaturated and darker colours in web browsers on both of my monitors.
What I am trying to achieve is seeing the same colours in PS as the ones I get in web browsers. I don't really care about the colours in PS being incorrect for print, etc, as I am a web designer and the only thing that matters to me is monitor colour.
While playing around with colour settings (changing them and then doing a Save for web) I was able to achieve exactly the same colours on both monitors that did at the same time match the initial Photoshop design - stupidly I can't remember what I have changed in the existing PS file colour settings, but the colours went quite dull, then when saving for web they looked exactly how I wanted them to look on both monitors, they also did match the initial colour of the PS file. Of course switching to different colour settings each time I need to save something for web is not ideal, but I would be quite happy if someone could explain to me how to at least achieve this...
My setup:
Dell 3007wfp wide gamut
Dell 2405wfp
Windows 7 64bit
Photoshop CS4 64bit
Pantone Huey calibrator
My Windows colour management settings:
My Photoshop colour settings for the file I am working on atm:
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thank you

I don't really care about the colours in PS being incorrect for print,
etc, as I am a web designer and the only thing that matters to me is
monitor colour.
photoshop prints through a Source Profile> Print Profile CONVERSION
your monitor profile has nothing to do with how Ps prints your source color
(at least in my work flow)
photoshop displays RGB color through a Source Profile> Monitor Profile CONVERSION
your print profile has nothing to do with how Ps displays your source color
after you get your monitor profile ruled out,
the next step is to verify if Ps is using the correct Source Profile, and if you are Saving your web images in sRGB, and if you are embedding the sRGB profile or not
the last step would be to nail down if your test browser reads embedded profiles (it is color managed like Ps)
and what profile the browser applies by Default (in the case it is not color managed, or the test files are untagged)
and if that Default profile is then CONVERTED to Monitor RGB or sent straight to the monitor...

Mac Mini late 2012 with 2 Dell u2913wm monitors?

Hey everyone,
I am currently using 2 19inch monitors connected to a late 2012 Mac Mini with the intel core i5 and the 4000 graphics. I have been looking and am either going to go for the dell 3007wfp's or dell u2913wm monitors depending on what is available at the time. I know the 3007wfp's are old but i'm not a fan of the current dell 30inch screens.
My question is would the Mac Mini be able to drive either of the screens? Keep in mind I want to run 2 of these monitors like I have been with the current 2. I could not go back to single monitor even with the ultra wide setup. ( Just me )
Would there be any problems you think i would encounter or would it be plug and play and work well???
Thanks
Dan

DELL 3007WFP-HC with MacPro/ATI X1900XT?

I am considering buying Dell 3007WFP-HC as the second monitor for my Mac Pro (equipped with ATI X1900XT).
Is there any problem using this combination, especially the flickering/dancing pixel problem?

No, I've had no problems. Philip provides the core monitor components to apple and dell for these items. The OS "saw" the dells instantly, loaded a solid default profile and they look really good. You can still tweak these like any other monitor.
That is not to say that may not prefer the apple product over the dell. But, I'm really happy with the dells and independant testing by multiple labs has not reported the "flickering/dancing pixel" problem that is being reported by users.

New Mac Mini with Lion Video Problem With Dell E228WFP monitor

Just purchased a new mini Mac 2.3 with Lion pre installed. I connected to my old Dell E228WFPI monitor via the Mini Display to VGA adapter. The mini mac worked fine for an hour until I put it to sleep. It would not rewake. After rebute the gray screen and apple logo appear with clock, but after clock screen to black and monitor goes to power saver mode. Took unit to apple store twice and could not resolve problem by changing resolution or other methiods. Finally, we learned that the system works fine using Belkin HDMI to DVI cable. This Dell Monitor had DVI connector. Hope this helps...

How can a computer that's been turned off (and I mean completely OFF) get a network request? Only a sleeping computer should react to such a request. If you're sure you shut down (Apple Menu, Shut Down), then only an internal power supply or logic board problem should cause this. The only way it could be software is if Lion is not shutting down the computer but is instead putting it to sleep. Is it a new Mac Mini? If so, you should have it replaced or repaired.

Can I run two Dell 24" monitors with iMac 27" (5750) in portrait mode

Hi there, want to putchase the 5750-based iMac 27", but I have a pair of Dell 24" monitors I want to run with it, preferably both in portrait mode. Is this possible? Or if not, is it possible with some sort of adaptor/external graphics card?
Thanks kindly for any help:)
Shawn

HI Shawn Glibson,
the imac has one video output. a 30 dollar adapter can be used to hook up a DVI display. (mini-display to dv adapter)
But you can add additional displays through a USB to DVI adapter. For instance see2 xtreame uv200 http://www.trittontechnologies.com/index.php/products/usbvideotechnology/see2-xtreme-uv200/ This is a great solution if you want to have another display for websites, office documents. a USB to DVI adapter isn't that great for 3D games.
I hope that helps
TT

Using a second DELL 1704 monitor ?

Hi,
I want to add my new Dell 1704 monitor as a second monitor to my mac;
I have purchased the Apple mini dvi adapter cable (how short is that!)
and have a DVI-i to the DVI-i cable into the dell monitor.
Ok, so it seems that the MAc knows its connected, as I can drag pages off the MAc screen
(but it does not show any other screen when I look in the display Preferences page)?
The dell does not display any image, just blank/black ; however when I disconnect the DVI-i cable it goes into screen sleep/test mode, and likewise wakes up when reconnected
(in doing so the mac screen also goes Blue, whilst it has a think)
I DO KNOW that other users on here, use an Imac with this very same DELL 1704 monitor
(nb I have checked it through VGA with my PC ((Grrr)) and it works fine)
Any ideas, why the Dell wont display the images ..?
thanks.

So what happened when you started up from your Mac OS X installation disc with the Dell display connected?
I could still be the Dell display, since you are using the VGA connector in one case and the DVI connector in another. The VGA port could be working properly, and the DVI port could be faulty. The display probably has a switch for changing between the using the VGA port and the DVI port. Make sure it is set properly. Also, the display probably has an on-screen menu; be sure to check it for anything related to "sleep" mode. It may also have a recessed reset button to put it back to default settings. If so, try pressing it.
You are also not using that DVI cable when connecting with VGA, so it could be defective (or not compatible in some way). Unless you actually see an image on the Dell display momentarily before it goes to sleep, I have no idea what being "recognized" means. Even if a display is turned OFF, if the connection is properly recognized by Mac OS X, the screen should appear in System Preferences Displays pane Arrangement tab. If all the pins are not connecting, but some are, there may be some reaction when you connect them, but not actual recognition. So you could try another DVI cable (DVI-D); even a new cable can be bad. Take the adapter with you if you are buying locally, to makes sure the connector pins match.
The other two connection points are the Mini-DVI adapter and the iMac's port itself. You might try getting a Mini-DVI to VGA adapter, and connecting the Dell display using the VGA port, since the Dell display does work with the PC over it's VGA port.
As I said, you need to do tests to rule out each of the four possible connection points between the iMac and the Dell display.

Yoga 2 Pro with external Dell P2414H monitor - Win 8.1 issues

I have a UK model Yoga 2 Pro (Core i7/256GB/8GB). Generally happy with it but I have one weird issue that is annoying me.
The system is fully patched including all Windows updates and latest Lenovo BIOS and drivers.
At work I have a Dell P2414H monitor connected to my Yoga 2 Pro (micro HDMI to HDMI cable into an HDMI to DVI adapter plugged into the monitor's DVI port).
Windows recognises the Dell monitor in display settings. I can extend my desktop onto it. I can run the Cleartype Tuner and tune the laptop screen and Dell cleartype settings independently. All good so far...
In Taskbar and Navigation Properties (right click on the taskbar and select Properties) I expect to see a "Multiple Displays" section on the Taskbar tab with a setting that allows me to extend the taskbar across both screens, as per this link: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-gb/windows-8/how-connect-multiple-monitors.
However, whatever I try I never see the "Multiple Displays" settings in Taskbar Properties. I have rebooted with the external screen connected and not connected and tried everything else I can think of but all to no avail.
Is anyone else seeing a similar issue with an external monitor connected to their Yoga 2 Pro?

Discovered that if If I make the external monitor my primary screen, not the laptop, then Windows gives me the Multiple Monitor Taskbar settings back. However, I then have screen scaling issues so dialogues and the task bar etc. on the Yoga screen are tiny. Not ideal...

Mac Mini I-7 2.0 (server edition) won't work with Dell 2709W monitor via HDMI

I just got a Mac Mini I7 quad 2.0. It's the server edition with an HDMI port. I plug my Dell 2709W monitor in and it continously flickers on and off and shows a green screen and the desktop for short intervals. Can anyone help with this issue.

Does the monitor work OK when connected to another HDMI output device?
Does the Mini HDMI output work OK when connected to another HDMI device?
You have selected the HDMI input on the monitor, right?

Connecting Macbook to Dell U2312HM Monitor

I'm interested in connecting the Dell U2312HM monitor to my Macbook OS X Version 10.6.8.
How do I do it? What are the parts that I need to buy?
Thank you.

That monitor has Displayport and DVI ports. Not knowing your age of MacBook it is hard to say what connector you can use.
Go to System Profiler and lookup your machine identifier.
It should say something like MacBook 4,1.
For these models, you'll need both the cables linked below from Apple and Staples:
MacBook 1,1 through 4,x and 5,2 use a mini-DVI connector and will not directly connect audio to it.
http://store.apple.com/us/product/M9321G/B/apple-mini-dvi-to-dvi-adapter
http://www.staples.com/office/supplies/StaplesProductDisplay?storeId=10001&catal ogIdentifier=2&partNumber=972599
For these Macs, use the cable linked to below their machine identifer:
5,1 and 6,1 have mini-Displayport connector but no audio directly over it.
7,1 has audio over mini-Displayport.
http://www.cablesforless.com/15-Foot-Mini-DisplayPort-to-HDMI-Cable-P7063.aspx
USB connectivity on the display may not work, unless you can find a cable that includes USB support with the other ports. Often dual link connectors have USB cable support, and are more expensive.
Note: If you have an Air or Pro, please specify that as the connectors are different for those models.

Connecting a Dell U3014 monitor to a Mac Pro

Just got the Mac Pro and the Dell U3014 monitor. I'm using DP / MDP cable that came with the monitor, connecting to a TB port in the Mac Pro. The message I receive in the monitor is " No display port cable". Help anyone?
Thanks!

Why does my Macbook pro 2008 not recognize my external dell flat monitor(TV)?

Hello all ,
Its hooked up with a dvi cable from mac dvi port to dell monitor dvi port. My macbook is running mountain lion.
The Monitor light on the front blinks green and then goes into " power save mode" a black screen.
Thanks for any ideas on how to get this external monitor working.

Reboot, then try this

I'm really guessing here actually since no one answered your post.
You might find better luck searching on Google "Macbook pro plus Dell monitor" for the most recent information.
The SwitchREsX is supposed to be very capable and enable more resolutions for other monitors besides Apple ones.
I think you can hold option/alt when clicking on Displays in System Preferences for a more complete list of options.
Sorry I can't be of more assistance.

Need help connecting Dell U2713HM monitor to MacBook Pro

What is the best way to connect a Dell U2713HM monitor to MacBook Pro OS 10.7.5 to maximize the resolution 2560 x 1440? I was using a VGA adapter on my old Viewsonic monitor that hooked into the Thunderbolt port, I think. When I use my old adapter with the new Dell monitor, it stops my Mac from responding and the monitor says it has no DVI connection. When I unplug the adapter from my Mac, it starts working again. I'm not very good with all these port options and descriptions so talk real slow, please.

1 Dual Link Digital Visual Interface connectors (DVI-D) with HDCP
1 DisplayPort 1.2 (DP)
1 High Definition Multimedia Interface (HDMI)
1 Video Graphics Array (VGA)
1 USB 3.0 upstream port
4 USB 3.0 downstream ports
Thank you!
