Any fix for 24" cinema display periodically flashing black for 1 second?

This happens at least a few times every hour when I'm using the system. There are many other people experiencing this issue. Is there any fix for this? Is apple aware of this problem?

I "think" it's a monitor defect. Most seem to have their problem solved by getting it replaced by Apple. I had 2 identical LED 24-inchers -- one would blink, the other wouldn't. I just got a replacement, keeping fingers crossed but it looks good. I seriously doubt it's a problem with your MBP.

  • Does anybody knows where can i buy a replacement AC power cable for my cinema display 27"?

    Does anybody knows where can i buy a replacement AC power cable for my cinema display 27"?

    It may not be the same molded plug but I would think any normal 3-prong computer power cable should work.
    How about this one?
    922-6529 Power Cord - Apple Cinema Display
    I've always had the theory that if you put two computer power cords in a drawer they will breed and you'll end up with a lot more!   My parts drawer is always full of them.  They like to knot up by themselves as well!  Maybe that's how they breed.

  • New Specs for Apple Cinema Displays ???

    I seem to recall that during the WWDC New Specs for Apple Cinema Displays were made public.
    What are these new specs ?
    Or am I mistaken?<<br>
    PowerBook   Mac OS X (10.4.7)  

    Thanks a.brody
    The Online Apple Store and the Apple dealers here in Germany either don't seem to be aware of the new specs or they have a lot of the "older" displays (Brightnes: 270 cd/m2 Contrast: 400:1) left in stock which they want or need "to get rid of".
    I'm thinking of ordering either a 23" or a 30" for my MacPro, but the new spec cinema displays are not yet available here.

  • Where i can get replacement for my cinema display 65W power adapter?

    Hi, who can tell me where i can get replacement for my cinema display 65W power adapter?

    If the display uses the Apple Display Connector (ADC)
    <http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/0/09/AppleDisplayConnector.j pg/800px-AppleDisplayConnector.jpg>
    you will need a DVI to ADC adapter.

    They are also available on eBay.

  • 'black' on 23" HD Cinema Display is not 'black' on my Macbook Pro 15" disp

    'black' on 23" HD Cinema Display is not 'black' on my Macbook Pro 15" disp - I'll edit a photo on my desktop cause its lots faster but what looks black on the display does not look black on my laptop. I don't think its calibration because I have put both on the same color profiles and there is no difference. Would the Cinema display just not be as bright/intense as the laptop display since its older? The Cinema display looks fine and hasn't given me any problems...
    Any insights?

    MacBook Pro  / Mozilla Firefox / Netflix / Silverlight Update solved - DON'T DWNLOAD FROM NETFLIX
    I solved this problem tonight. I have a MacBook Pro with 10.5.8. I know, it's old. But I love my Netflix and I recently noticed that Firefox plays Netflix much better.  Then I suddenly got this message that I needed to download the latest Silverlight - it only takes 30 seconds! - WRONG.   However, after much searching, I finally did the steps in order and it worked.  
    This was after repeatedly downloading Silverlight from the Netflix site without success.  So here's what I did:
    1. Went to http://www.microsoft.com/getsilverlight/Get-Started/Install/Default.aspx
    2. Followed the directions. I felt like such an idiot for not doing it right before.
    3. Go to your hard drive and search for "Silverlight" to locate ANY existing Silverlight files: .dmg, etc.
        [also check your Libary/ Internet Plug-ins, but the above search is faster]
    4. Drag it all to the trash and empty it.
    5. Go back to the Get  Silverlight page and click on the Install on that page, not the Netflix site.
    6. Note the steps for Safari or Mozilla Firefox - I wanted Firefox, so I follwed those instructions.
    7. Once it's installed, close all the browsers and Restart that bad boy. Right away.
    8. Open a browser, go to Netflix and proceed to joyfully rot your brain with Netflix content. Yay!

  • I'm about to buy a 27" i-Mac. I would like to connect my 30" Cinema Display to it as a second monitor. What will I need to do that? Will this slow down the overal performance?

    I'm about to buy a 27" i-Mac. I would like to connect my 30" Cinema Display to it as a second monitor. What will I need to do that? Will this slow down the overall performance?

    The new iMacs do not come with a MiniDisplayPort, they have Thunderbolt, so unless you are talking about purchasing one of the previous generation iMacs such as this refurbished model in the online Apple store, it won't work. And yes, if you are going to get the full range of video resolutions you will need the Dual-Link version.
    For details see the store's web page on the Dual-Link display adapter.

  • Do Window Vista Dirvers exist for Apple Cinema Displays ?

    I am using a 23 inch Apple Cinema Display with a windows Vista box and noticed it is using a generic HD driver. Should I have a diver specific to the ACD? Do any exist?
    Thanks
    Power Book   Mac OS X (10.4.9)   23 inch ACD

    I have one more idea that might help people. This is a theory on my part, so bear with me.
    You can extract all of the files from WinACD and use just the INF files get your monitor to display at the proper resolutions. To do so, do an Administrative Install using the following command:
    msiexec /a <path to msi file>WinACD-0.4.6.msi
    This will extract the files to C:\Program Files\WinACD, but not install the application onto the system. You can then go to:
    Settings - Control Panel - Display
    Click on Settings and then Advanced
    Click on Monitor and then Properties
    Click on Update Driver... and find the acdmonitor.inf file in C:\Program Files\WinACD\noarch.
    Theoretically that should work. I cannot test the very last step for I have it working correctly already.
    I will tinker with this on Vista 64 this weekend and see how to make it work. You should not have to do this with Vista 32. I had to turn of the User Account Control in order to be able to install it. With it on, WinACD says that it could not install because it was interrupted.

  • Vista 64 bit Driver for Apple Cinema Display

    I am trying to use a refurbished Apple HD Cinema Display to connect to both my PC and new Mac... it is integral that I can use it with both.
    Any help finding a driver that would work with my Windows Vista 64 bit OS would be much much appreciated... I hate it but I have to work with what I've got!
    Thanks so much!

    I'm looking for the same basic thing....
    Does anyone use a Apple Cinema 23" Display with Vista 64 bit? I'm wondering what video card you use on your PC that supports the 23" Apple display.
    I have a DVIator which worked great with XP, but now that my PC has vista, after the vista boot screen starts to appear, I get a black screen.
    Thanks

  • Want to use a TV as a third monitor for Digital Cinema Display....HELP!

    Hey Guys,
    Here's my set up, please tell me where I am going wrong:
    I have 2 22" LCD Monitors that I use for my main work. I added a second card to my MacPro so that I could add an additional monitor. Now I have a DVI to HDMI cable going to my Plasma that I want to use as playback for clients and such. Here's where it gets weird... In After Effects, I can use the Plasma in Digital Cinema Preview for Playback and Previews...works great. Then, when I open up Final Cut I have problems. First, when I go to "Digital Cinema Desktop - Full Screen" it display one frame and stay on that one frame even during playback. So then I changed my Sequence settings thinking my TV couldn't handle that Sequence. No I get a White Screen with no playback at all, not even the one frame. Now the weird part is that if I change the TV to my "Main Screen" in Monitor Prefs, and set Digital Cinema to "Main" it plays back fine. So, if I can playback with it as my main, why can't I playback otherwise? And...if it works in After Effects, why is Final Cut Having Problems with it? It's set to "All Frames" and "Desktop Mirroring". Thoughts? I have seen this set up work before...what am I doing wrong?

    I'm trying to find out much the same thing. I would assume that anyone knows the answers can help both of us.
    I'm purchasing a new Mac Pro desktop. I also use final cut but not after effects.
    I actually have 4 monitors to choose from. 2 Dell 19" - One 27" Apple cinema display and a spector High Def 1080i monitor that has a DVI input.
    I would like to use one of the Dell's as my primary home desk top monitors with folders and all the usual dock and stuff. I would like to use the cinema display as my primary final cut work surface.
    I would like to use the HD monitor to show HD footage and use it as a client monitor. Remember it has a DVI input.
    I've talked with the folks at the Local Apple store and they are not sure if I will get a real HD signal on the HD monitor if I add a second radeon 2700 card to the computer and take on of those DVI outputs and attach it to the HD monitor.
    If thats not possible can I use the apple cinema display as my playback monitor?
    Or do I have to go with a conversion box like a mxo, AJA board, or decklink box.
    The goal is to have two monitors for the program and One monitor in HD for the client monitor,
    Thanks everyone in advance.

  • 30" Cinema Display as External Monitor for 15" iMac?

    Is there any way to hook up a 30" Cinema Display to a flat-panel "lampshade" iMac? There is no DVI input on the iMac.

    No. There is a VGA output, and (expensive) VGA to DVI converters, but they won't work with a 30" display.

  • DVI Adapter for LED Cinema Display Mini DisplayPort?

    Is there an adapter for use with the new LED Cinema display port? I expect the new Mini's to switch to the Mini DisplayPort, if there is a new Mini, but in the meantime ...
    Now that everything is going black, glass and aluminum, when is Apple going to update:
    1) Keyboards to black keys?
    2) Mouse to black and/or aluminum?
    3) Mini, AirPort Extreme, Time Capsule to black & aluminum?
    4) Power Adapters, Airport Express, cables, etc. to black and/or aluminum?
    Finally a unified product line/look!

    Actually after thinking about it, the immediate solution is likely a short DVI extension cord combined with the Mini DisplayPort to DVI adapter. I would prefer a small Apple adapter to ship with the display however, much in the same way as the DB-15 adapter shipped with the VGA version of the old LCD Studio Display, or at least make one for sale. Guess Apple is leaving this up to third parties as usual.
    The Apple Mini DisplayPort to DVI adapter would not work in this case as it is a male (Mini DisplayPort) to female (DVI) adapter. The new 24" Cinema Display has a non-removable cable ending in a male (Mini DisplayPort). As a male plug will not connect to a male plug it will not work.
    I am sure soon enough various third-parties like Gefen, Griffin, and Belkin will come up with suitable adapters which do have the right genders. It is somewhat disappointing Apple have not done this themselves as I am sure plenty of Mac Pro owners are also salivating over this new display.
    Arguably, Apple are repeating the same mistake they made with the ACD (Apple Cinema Display) connector and making it much harder and more expensive to use their displays with non Apple computers. That is they should have stuck with a standard DisplayPort connector rather than the esoteric Mini DisplayPort.
    I equally hope someone comes up with Mini DisplayPort to (big) DisplayPort adapters as well.
    On a totally different topic, I was also surprised and disappointed Apple did not switch to 16:9 displays for these new products (they are all still 16:10). The rest of the industry has already started switching to 16:9 displays and the clear trend is that 16:10 is on its way out. Still, the black border of these Apple displays does very conveniently hide the blank pixels (when playing a 16:9 video).

  • Need original box & shipping box for 24" Cinema display

    I am selling a 24" Cinema display and need to get (buy, presumably) an original box and the outer shipping carton for same. Anyone got an idea how this can be done?

    Update: Apple store sales advised me to buy 15" MBP (vs. new 13") due to concerns re: graphics and speed. So I purchased the 2.8Ghz. Set up with cinema display works great. Done.
