Apple 22" Display (Clear Acrylic Bezel)-LCD Replacement?

Did a real stupid thing and impaled my display on a Sharpie highlighter... don't ask.
Is there anyway to replace the LCD panel on these older displays? I sprung some coin for a new HP w2207h and am just not sure this is the right monitor for me. I had the Apple Display calibrated and working just beautifully. Now I have to go through the tweaking process all over again.
Any help on this would be greatly appreciated!!

That LCD panel has not been produced by LG for years and years. You would have to find a service or repair facility that had one as NOS (new old stock) which could take a lot of searching. Likely it would be easier to find someone selling the same monitor used than finding a replacement panel. And it would probably be cheaper, too.

  • Dual ADC Apple Studio Displays (clear acrylic) with Mac Mini

    I currently have the old school Apple Studio Display ADC monitor hooked up to my Mac Mini using the ADC to DVI adapter. I have a second Studio ADC Display and another ADC to DVI adapter to run Dual Displays. I just bought a SEE 2 XTREME DVI to USB which is used for adding multiple monitors. I have it all hooked up. Its just basic plug and play after installing the Mac driver. My second monitor power light just flashes and wont turn on...Any suggestions? I already made sure both monitors and both ADC to DVI adapters worked, and they do. Please Help!! Any info would be greatly appreciated.

    yea, I checked that out about the light flashes. I have tried both monitors seperately and they both work fine...just not with this DVI to USB dual monitor adapter. Also, when I had them hooked up individually, I made sure the resolution was set the same in the system preferences > displays.

  • 20" Apple Cinema Display - Dim Backlight Fixed! (Sorta)

    Well... as many other Apple Cinema Display owners have experienced the infamous dim backlight with the "short short long blink" - I have some wierd news to report...
    Mine got fixed last night on total accident.
    Last night there was a huge storm in my area and there was a lot of lighting and massive down pour of rain, stay with me honest I have a point.
    My G5 was on last night while I was asleep in the other room within visual range of the display. There was a lighting strike on my property about 20' from where my office is which is on the corner of the house. The lighting hit the tree and send an obvious surge of power into my house and zapped some electronics.
    Wireless router, cable modem, and thermal label printer all bit the dust - and the USB ports on the back of the ADC display. I jumped up from the sleep and saw the monitor light up out of screen saver because the house shook so hard. I ran over to the machine and tried to move the mouse and keyboard and no go since the USB ports are burned out, but the monitor was FULLY LIT UP. I have unplugged the monitor and plugged it back in multiple times, turned the machine off and let it sit and it still is working great minus the USB ports.
    My hunch is this... because of the dead USB ports which are no longer drawing any power, is it possible that the USB ports are the cause of the "short short long blink"?
    My screen went dead initially when it was in a deep sleep mode and NEVER came out of it until now.
    So basically what I am suggesting is that someone try and unhook the USB (if it is even possible) and see if that helps with their display - if not, I guess I am just lucky and my Apple Cinema Display is just lucky to not have fully bit the dust.

    We can't answer that because that's going to depend on who you talk to. By the book, AppleCare covers defects and not accidental damage, so you could get a No answer if they determine it was not due to a defect. But realistically, sometimes you talk to someone who decides to use their ability to authorize an exception and get it fixed anyway. The only way to find out is to call AppleCare.

  • 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?

  • Apple Studion Display LCD 15" dying?

    My Apple Studio Display (LCD 15", purchased 2000) visual display is intermittently shutting off. Audio remains functional, and I can still type while the display is absent and when it comes back what I typed (ie, on a word doc) is there. The screen saver does not come on during the loss of visual display - the screen just goes black. When I move the mouse around or hit the keyboard repeatedly, the visual will come back. There are not problems with the display when it is visualized. Here's what i've tried so far:
    1. All connections are secure on the ADC cable.
    2. Tried restarting computer several times - no avail
    3. Checked the display settings in system prefs - energy saver is @ 15min.
    I'm wondering if the problem is the monitor or something with the computer. I read somewhere in discussions that PRAM batteries can be a problem (mine has never been changed and I don't know how to reset).
    Any suggestions would be appreciated. I really hope to continue to use my monitor!!

    867 Power Mac G4, 15" Apple Studio Display (circa 2000) Mac OS X (10.4.11)

    In order to do this you need to use an adapter to go from DVI to ADC. This can be found here http://store.apple.com/1-800-MY-APPLE/WebObjects/AppleStore.woa/wa/RSLID?mco=187 2D402&nplm=M8661LL/B
    Good luck hope that works out!

  • Two Apple Cinema Displays

    I just bought a second lcd flat screen monitor for my G4. It's just a small 17" and is perfect for photoshop palettes. My problem is finding a PCI video card that will fit the monitor. I can find lots of AGP cards with that connection, but my AGP slot is taken with my other studio display with that same hookup. It has 3 rows of 11 pins and the one sideways slotted one and the ends are round. What PCI video card do I need to be looking for? Thanks, mark

    Hi
    If it's an Apple Studio display with a clear acrylic casing and three feet it probably uses an Apple display connector (ADC):
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=58667
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=58692
    The connector carries the video signal, power and USB. G4s that support the ADC connector have an additional slot just above the standard AGP slot on the logic board which provides power to the graphics card and it's ADC connector. As the PCI slots don't have this extra power slot, there aren't any PCI graphics cards available with an ADC connector. Also the slot only provides enough power to drive one display, hence there aren't any AGP graphics cards available with two ADC connectors.
    Unfortunately the only way to use two ADC displays is to buy a DVI to ADC adapter for the second display and connect it to a DVI port. Apple sell one for around $99, although don't confuse it with the cheaper ADC to DVI adpater. It's fairly expensive as it also includes a power supply to drive the monitor.

  • Hello everyone, hoping for some help with my new Apple Cinema Display 20"

    Hi everyone, I bought an Apple Cinema Display 20 inch LCD monitor, just about 3 weeks ago. I have two issues I am hoping to get some help with.
    1) I am using the screen on a PC with Windows XP, and I was very disappointed at the lack of PC support. I have no on screen display (OSD), so I can't see what percentage I have my brightness set to, and I can't alter the colour or contrast of the display, etc. Luckily it defaulted to very good settings, but I would really like to be able to use the (fan made?) program called "WinACD". If I would be best asking somewhere else, please direct me there. If not, my problem is that I installed it added the "Controls" tab, but it just says, Virtual Control Panel "None Present". I have tried googling for an answer, and I have seen many suggestions, but none of them worked. I installed the WinACD driver without my USB lead plugged in, and someone said that was important. So I have tried uninstalling, rebooting, then reinstalling it again with the USB plugged in, and a device plugged in to my monitor to be sure. It didn't seem to help. I have actually done this process a few times, just to be sure. So I would really like to get that working if possible.
    2) I am disappointed at the uniformity of the colour on the display. I have seen other people mention this (again, after a google search), and that someone seemed to think it is just an issue we have to deal with, with this generation of LCD monitors. Before I bought this screen, I had an NEC (20wgx2), and it had a very similar issue. Most of the time, you cannot see any problem at all, but if you display an entire screen with a dark (none prime) colour, like a dark blue green colour, you can see areas where it is slightly darker than others. It was more defined on the NEC screen, and that is why I returned it. I now bought this Apple Cinema Display, because it was the only good alternative to the NEC. (It has an 8bit S-IPS / AS-IPS panel, which was important to me). But the problem exists in this screen too. It isn't as bad thankfully, but it still exists... I have actually tried a third monitor just to be sure, and the problem existed very slightly in that one, so I think I am probably quite sensitive in that I can detect it.
    It is most noticable to me, because I do everything on this PC. I work, I watch films, and I play games. 99% of the time, I cannot see this problem. But in some games (especially one)... the problem is quite noticeable. When you pan the view around, my eyes are drawn to the slight areas on my screen which are darker, and it ruins my enjoyment. To confirm it wasn't just the game, like I said, I can use a program to make the entire screen display one solid colour, and if you pick the right type of colour (anything that isn't a bright primary colour), I can see the problem - albeit fairly faintly.
    I am pretty positive that it is not my graphics card or any other component of my PC, by the way, because everything is brand new and working perfectly, and the graphics card specifically, I have upgraded and yet the problem remains - even on the new card. Also, the areas that are darker, are different on this screen than on the other screens I have used.
    So basically, I would like to register my disappointment at the lack of perfect uniformity on a screen which cost me £400 (over double what most 20 inch LCD screens cost), and I would like to know if anybody could possibly suggest a way to fix it?
    It is upsetting, becuase although this problem exists on other screens too, this is, as far as I know, the most expensive 20" LCD monitor available today, and uses the best technology available too.
    p.s. If anyone would like to use the program that lets you set your entire PC screen a specific colour, it is called "Dead Pixel Buddy", and it is a free piece of software, made by somebody to check for dead pixels. But I found it useful for other things too, including looking at how uniform the colour of the screen is. That's not to say I was specifically looking for this problem by the way... the problem cought my eye.
    Thanks in advance!

    I've been talking about this on another forum too, and I made some pictures in photoshop to describe the problem. Here is what I posted on the other forum:
    Yes, "brightness uniformity" definitely seems to be the best description of my issue.
    Basically it just seems like there are very faint lines down the screen, that are slightly darker than the other areas on the screen. They aren't defined lines, and they aren't in a pattern. It's just slight areas that are darker, and the areas seem like narrow bands/lines. Usually you can't see it, but in some cases, it is quite noticeable. It is mainly when I'm playing a game. The slightly darker areas are not visible, and then when the image moves (because I am turning in a car, or turning a plane, or turning in a shooter etc.) the image moves, but these slightly darker areas stay still, and that makes them really stand out.
    As for how it looks, I tried to make an example in photoshop:
    Original Image:
    http://img340.imageshack.us/img340/3045/td1ja9.jpg
    Then imagine turning the car around a bend, and then it looks like this:
    http://img266.imageshack.us/img266/959/td2hq7.jpg
    It's those lines in the clouds. If you can tab between the two images, you can see the difference easily. Imagine seeing those lines appear, every single time you move in a game. (I haven't tested this in movies yet, but I am assuming it's the same).
    It isn't very clear on a static image. But when the image moves, the darker areas stay in the same place and it draws your eyes towards them. It isn't terrible, but it is annoying, especially consider how much this screen cost.

  • Second display from iMac27" (late 2009) miniDisplay Port worked fine until today- now no longer connects to Apple Cinema Display

    Have a configuration of an iMac27" (MAC 27"/4850-512MB PROCESSOR 2.66GHZ QUAD-CORE INTEL CORE I5 Dec 2009 model) and a second screen Apple Cinema Display 2009 model 24"
    The setup with the Apple Cinema Display has been working fine for 3 years and since yesterday the second screen refuses to work.
    Connected it to a MacBookPro and the Apple Cinema DIsplay functions fine sot my conclusion is it is not the Apple Cinema Display's error.
    Could it be that the Mini Display Port on the iMac is somehow broken? Or is there a software fix I need to checkout?
    Thanks for your help on resolving this issue.

    UPDATE:
    As noted in the first post, both of these newer USB DAC work fine at 24/96 on my wife's iMac, so it's clear that they didn't both become defective when I connected them to the Macbook Pro at the same time.
    Resetting the Macbook Pro PRAM didn't help, so I removed the hard shell laptop case to get to the battery and remove it, then reset the SMC. After that I could use the original DAC at 24/96 again, but only IF it was plugged into the rear USB port. If I plugged it into the front USB port then the sound was garbled and filled with noise. This was a vast improvement over no sound at all.
    Then I switched to the replacement/updated DAC, but I got no sound at all from either USB port at any bit-rate. And returning to the original DAC again now results in no sound again.
    Sigh... I will reset the PRAM and SMC again, and see how far I can get with this. I'd still love some help. Thanks!

  • Help with cleaning off a 23" Apple Cinema display HD

    Ok guys, I work with LCD's for a living, but mine are a bit different than the Apple monitors (plus, this is my dime, not my companies..). So, I come home to find out our "house guest"'s kid was flinging gogurt all over the place. I look at my LCD's and sure enough, both have someone oily on them.
    I cleaned the dell with no issues, but my 23" Apple Cinema Display HD, has a couple of marks that won't come off (I used water and a micro fiber cloth to clean it). It's like two little oily spots about the size of the tip of a finger, and one little line in the bottom right corner.
    At work, normally we would use denatured alcohol to clean the LCD surface, but I'm quite familiar with the LCD's at work, and what is attached to the polarizer. My Apple display, I'm not so sure, so I don't want to use something on it that is going to damage the surface. Any recommendations? The areas that have the issue don't seem to have any display related problems.... They aren't finger clusters, and the polarizer doesn't look damaged.
    thanks! And yes, the house guest was informed what this monitor costs to replace.... and I threatened to chop off fingers (kidding).

    Apple say not to use alcohol or ammonia. Dilute some hand dishwashing liquid. Moisten a facial tissue with it, and rub gently. Then use several facial tissues moistened with just water to remove the detergent residue.

  • My 11 year old Apple studio display died. what is best connection with new monitor

    The lCD light finally quit after 12 years. So I bought a very cheap acer /led widescreenS200HQL 19 inch as a cheap quick replacement for my monitor on my  quicksilver G4 933. Question is it is connected to the second display port VGA... Is it worth buying a connector so it can be connected to the larger DVI port(where the apple studio display was connected?) will that make any difference??? Things seem fine but was curious as to the difference???

    Many of the Studio displays were ADC. Are you sure that other port is really DVI and not ADC?
    My 2004 MDD vid card has one DVI and one ADC connector. I have it connected to a Viewsonic display from about 2007 with both VGA and DVI ports. When I connect the DVI port directly to the DVI port on the G4, the native res looks good but it too small to read (old, tired eyes). If I change the desktop res to make things a little bigger, the image looks like carp--fuzzy and possibly some distortion.
    If I use the DVI-to-VGA adapter on the computer and connect it to the monitor. the image is shape and proper at any support desktop res I select.
    You mileage may vary.

  • Apple Cinema Displays

    Hello,
    I wanted to ask if there are any Apple Cinema displays that are comnpatible with a Power Mac G3 tower model?
    Any help/info. is appreciated. Thanks in advance.
    Power Mac G3   Mac OS X (10.3)   Blue/White Tower

    Hi Trajan & Damicotile,
    Yes, it is possible to do so. You would have to replace the existing video card with something like an ATI Radeon 9200:
    http://www.ati.com/products/radeon9200/radeon9200me/specs.html
    This would give you DVI-I output. If the cinema display were to be one of the older ones (clear surround), it would be ADC. You would have to use a DVI to ADC converter such as this one:
    http://www.drbott.com/prod/db.lasso?code=0111-DVAD
    If the cinema display is one of the newer ones (aluminium surround), you should be able to hook straight into the DVI-I output. However, you wouldn't be able to run the big 30" display.
    Cheers!

  • How to connect old Apple Cinema Display to new Mac Mini?

    Hello,
    I'm considering replacing an old Mac Mini with the new model, but I intend to keep on using my old Apple Cinema Display 20" with it. But i'm having some trouble finding the right conversor (it seems there isn't any from Apple...)
    Any suggestions?
    Thank you.

    If by "old" apple cinema the OP is referring to the aluminum displays of the later mac models, then yes, that's a no-brainer, the problem is that if the OP is referring to the "real" old apple cinema displays, which have a DVI-type connection with power included on the same cable, like the displays the former Mac G4 or G5 had, then he needs a ADP to DVI port, which in most cases it cost more than the actual monitor itself.. I guess the OP needs to specify what does it mean by old apple displays or throw in a link to an image..

  • DVI to ADC Adapter a 12" Powerbook and an Apple Studio Display 15"

    hello,
    i am trying to hook up a 12" powerbook with a DVI to ADC adapter to an Apple Studio Display 15".
    i´m just about to buy a used 15" display on ebay.
    i was wondering if this is working out together. in the apple store there are two DVI to ADC adapters at different prices and displays supported?
    so if anybody could help me out please let me know!!!!
    thank you very much
    regards, g.

    Hi
    unfortunately I think the Apple store have sold you the wrong item.
    I'm almost certain the DVI to ADC adapter only works with ADC based flat panel displays. DVI ports can output digital or analogue signals (or a combination of the two). The adapter seems to provide digital, which is why it works with the LCD displays, but not analogue, which is why it doesn't work with the CRT displays.
    Confusingly Apple did a 17" Studio display both as a CRT and LCD.
    Dr. Bott do a similar adapter but they explicitly state it's not compatible with the 17" CRT.
    Unfortunately I'm not sure there's a solution, as the display has an ADC connector yet I'm not aware of any adapters available that will work.

  • Cinema Display (clear) with DVI/ADC box doesn't work with MacBook Pro

    Cinema Display (clear) with DVI/ADC box doesn't work with MacBook Pro when plugged in with a dvi to mini dvi cable. Any ideas what to do to make it work? I lugged the 23" 2500 miles into the wilderness and I need help

    Okay, here's an update: the DVI to ADC adapter does work with the Apple displays that I have tried, but it won't work with the Formac. I have tried multiple time to contact them, but to no avail... they don't even respond to threats of posting my opinion of them, which is this:
    DON'T BUY ANYTHING FROM FORMAC! They make quality products, but their customer service is a big time joke! They won't take care of you.
