Apple VS Dell Monitors...

Dell is producing external monitors with a built-in camera. Has anyone used one of these monitors? Does it work on a Mac system?
Since Apple doesn't produce either a monitor with a built-in camera, or iSight camera any more, does anyone think that Apple will produce a monitor with a built-in camera?
I would be nice for Apple to produce this type of monitor for those of us using external monitors.
Thanks

Hello myheadhurts
I haven't seen the new Dell, but do these links help?

Connecting my MacBook Pro to Dell Monitor

Hi, I have a Dell E228WFP 24 inch monitor and I have connected it to my MacBook Pro (October 2013, Non-retina, 13 inch) with a Mini DisplayPort to DVI adapter, and another adapter off eBay, which plugs into the VGA cable that is in the back of the Dell monitor. When I turn the monitor on, the screen remians black, then the monitor goes into power save mode. The Mac can find the monitor, and the Mac says the monitor is working perfectly.
The monitor goes into power save no matter if I put it on Auto Detect or Digital imput, or Analog input.
Please help!

Searching on Amazon, I find the monitor has HDMI. a Mini-Displayport to HDMI adapter from the Apple Store is a much better choice than any VGA adapter. Also your machine will support audio over HDMI if there is audio on the monitor. If not, that's immaterial for that monitor:

Anyway, HDMI carries the full digital signal. So does DVI. I for one prefer HDMI since it is less likely to fail connecting.

I just purchased a new mac mini and would like to use my old dell monitor. I tried a HD to VGA adapter converter,it plugs in, but nothing shows on the monitor. Any suggestions? Thanks

What do you mean by "HD to VGA adapter converter"?
Do you mean have an HDMI to VGA adapter connected the the Mini's HDMI port?
Or maybe you plugged n the the included HDMI to DVI adapter and then connected a DVI to DVI adapter?
In either case that will not work since VGA is analog and the Mini's HDMI port is digital only.
You need to purchase a mini displayport to VGA adapter. It plugs into the Mini's Thunderbolt port.

Make sure you get a name--brand one. I purchased some el cheapo, no-name ones and they did not work

Connecting MacBook Pro to a dell monitor

Having a little dilemma trying to figure out how to connect a dell monitor to my MacBook Pro. (Mid 2012) Dell monitor has a dvi-d connection. Not sure which apple connector I need and if I need to purchase a double ended male male dvi-d cable. Help!

Hi,
I am sure your problem must have been sorted out by now, but for all current and future buyers for the dell U2414H and having an apple computing device, mac, macbook, pro etc, the monitor works perfectly out of the box when I connected with a mini DP(thunderbolt port) to HDMI output (U2414H), it just ran out of the box, without any issues, it even worked simply for my bootcamp windows. So no need to fret before purchasing one, simply go ahead and get it, it's the Monitor with most appealing edge giving you only a screen to view at, I was also considering between the U2412M and the U2414H, I think I've made a great choice.
Cheers,

Connecting a Dell monitor to macbook...

I have a Dell monitor that's just lying around in my room. I want to use it as a "second display" for my macbook. I realized that I can't just plug it in because the cable doesn't match.
I've been trying to find the appropriate cable for it, but I'm getting so confused with all of the DVI and VGA, etc.
Can someone tell me exactly what connector I need?
Thank you.

You need a Apple Mini-DVI to VGA Adapter.

Connecting Dell monitor to iMac?

Hello - is it possible to connect (add) my Dell monitor to my iMac (core7)? I have a mini VGA adatper, but it will only fit into the Thunderbolt port.
Do I need to purchase a specific Thunderbolt cable?
Thanks for any help in advance -

That should still work. You only need a Thunderbolt cable for hooking to Thunderbolt capable devices, I think.

Mac Mini with Dell Monitor

I just bought my dad a Mac Mini and gave him my big Apple Monitor (can't remember size but bigger than a small TV:). Well dad says the monitor is too big and wants to use his Dell monitor. I called support and for the first time I couldn't understand the technician, his accent was too strong (I really hope Apple hasn't outsourced their support). Anyway, what I got from the conversation had something to do with a VGA adapter to a DVI? I have looked at the other topics on using non-Mac displays but they aren't really on point. Any help is appreciated:)
Thanks
Lisa

If the Dell monitor has a VGA connector (also referred to sometimes as 'analog'), then all he will need in order to use it with the mini is the DVI/VGA adapter that is included with the mini and therefore should be in the box. I use a Dell display with one of my minis this way and it works just fine.
If the Dell has a DVI connector (which is digital) then it will plug straight in without the adapter.
Almost all computer displays in the past 10 years and more use one or other of these connector types - most are VGA.

Display my Macbook Pro to my Dell Monitor?

Hi, I have a brand new MacBook Pro 15' and I bought a Dell monitor so that I can extend my screen. I bought an HDMI/HDMI cable to connect the two. My macbook recognizes the cable, but the Dell monitor stays black and doesn't register that the two are connected. Does anyone have a solution to this? Do I need to get an adaptor of some sort or just change some display settings? (I also have a display port cable, but I didn't know what to do with that. Maybe it's useful?) Thanks!!

Hey bountiful5,

Iphone 6 to Dell monitor

Can I connect my Iphone 6 to a Dell U2412M monitor? If so, what do I need?

Hi there jdcow,
If I understand correctly you need to know what type of conneciton you might need to connect to your iPhone 6 to your Dell monitor. You can use the following article to help determine if this is possible based on the connections available on your monitor.
About Apple Digital AV Adapters for iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch
According to the article, you can use a Lightning to AV adapter, found here:
Lightning Digital AV Adapter - Apple Store (U.S.)
or the Lightning to VGA adapter found here:

Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.

U2413 Dell Monitor, which cable

What extra cable do I need to connect my new U2413 Dell Monitor to my Macbook pro

Good ifo about the invisible monitor menu!
My issue is that given my only available desk configuration, a 6/6.5' cable is stretched to the max. I've already ripped up one. And I haven't been able to locate a longer DP to MiniDP cable. Mini DP to HDMI and of course HDMI to HDMI have 10' or even 15' choices. So I was curious if one of those might be an option. Guess I can ask Apple.

Hi Rhoda123!
It sounds like you may need to reset a part of your system that deals with your video card, and this is commonly known as PRAM. We have an article that talks about the functioning of this part of your computer and how to reset it, which can be found here:
About NVRAM and PRAM
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1379
Specifically, this section will probably be the most relevant to resolving your issue:
Resetting NVRAM / PRAM
Shut down your Mac.
Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command (⌘), Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
Turn on the computer.
Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys before the gray screen appears.
Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
Release the keys.
After resetting NVRAM or PRAM, you may need to reconfigure your settings for speaker volume, screen resolution, startup disk selection, and time zone information. If issues persist, your Mac's logic board battery (not a portable Mac's rechargeable battery) may need to be replaced. The logic board battery helps retain NVRAM/PRAM settings when your computer is shut down. You can take your Mac to a Mac Genius or Apple Authorized Service Provider to replace the battery on the logic board.
Thanks for coming to the Apple Support Communities!
