Buying an Appple Thunderbolt Display - any help on calibration?

OK, I know already that the Thunderbolt Display is not the best monitor out there for color correction - at least that's what I've heard... but I have a new MBP (non-Retina) and I need both a larger display and the ports that are on the Thunderbolt.
My question, to those who might have one, is what is the best third-party calibration device that will work with this monitor. Spyder4Elite? X-Rite? Which? I've tried asking the question on the Apple Thunderbolt Display forum but after one month I've recieved no replies.
Anyone willing to give me some advice?
Thanks,
Clinton

  • HT1338 please my finder & icons cannot be display any help?

    please my finder & screen icons are not responding,any help?

    Have you tried running Disk Utility from the Recovery HD to see if the HD needs repairs? Restart holding down Command + r
    More info here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4718
    If the HD is OK but you still have the problem you may need to re-install the OS, also via Recovery HD.
    Re-installing the OS will not delete your data, but it is essential that you have full, tested backup that you can restore from should the need arise.

  • Thunderbolt display and macbook pro calibration

    I have a macbook pro mid 2011 and a thunderbolt display and they both have been calibrated by a Spyder device, I sometimes grade images on my laptop but when I get back to the office the shots look different, any ideas?t

    I've a Spyder4Elite that I use on both my Thunderbolt Display and on my MBP - and, while both are calibrated, they don't - and cannot - 'match' one another, no matter how hard I try.
    I suspect that you're running up against the same wall? Different technologies in different displays. I doubt that you'll ever get a perfect match: mine are just 'good enough'.

  • Questions about Thunderbolt Display

    Hi there,
    I'm thinking about buying a 27" Thunderbolt Display to accompany my 15" Macbook Pro. Basically, the current MBP screen is a little small for some of the tasks I'm currently undertaking. The specs of my Macbook Pro are:
    - 2.3GHz i7 Quad Core
    - 8GB RAM
    - AMD Radeon HD 6750M with 1GB VRAM
    - Running the latest version of Lion.
    I was wondering if anyone can advise of the kind of performance I can expect from the 27" Thunderbolt display if it is hooked up for the following tasks that I use my computer for:
    - General day to day internet use and Microsoft Office For Mac use.
    - Editing HD movies in iMovie (and potentially at a later date, Final Cut X).
    - Recording music in Logic Studio 9.
    - Web coding in Dreamweaver CS5.
    - Photo Editing in Photoshop CS5.
    - Graphics creation in Fireworks and InDesign CS5.
    - Running a game like X Plane 10.
    - Running Bootcamp with Windows 7 and games like Flight Simulator X.
    - Running a game like Football Manager 2012.
    - Watching movies.
    Ideally I'd want to be running the above tasks in full screen mode.
    How would the MBP cope with upscaling the above tasks to the full resolution of the Thunderbolt screen, with good graphical performance on the video editing and games specifically? Ideally I'm hoping for literally no loss in quality.
    Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.
    T

    I've looked into it more and according to this (http://www.apple.com/macbookpro/specs.html) my graphics card supports an external display to the maximum of 2560 by 1600 pixels which should be enough for the Thunderbolt Display considering it's native resolution is 2560 by 1440 pixels.
    My question now is though, will the performance of things like video editing of moderate gaming be good on the TBD at full resolution?

  • Connect Pc to Thunderbolt Display

    I have a windows pc and I am looking to buy the apple Thunderbolt Display I wanna connect my pc to the thunder bolt display is it possible in any way like buying a Hdmi To thunderbolt Cable ?

    If the computer nas no Thunderbolt port you can't use a Thunderbolt display.

  • Late 2008 Mac Book Pro with Thunderbolt display: Compatibility

    I have a Mac Book Pro Late 2008 (15inch) and want to buy a 27inch thunderbolt display, because in the future I will buy a mac book air (thunderbolt)...
    but for now:
    1: Can I use my late 2008 MacPro with thunderbolt?
    1a:If yes, which functions work, which not...
    1b:If yes, how to connect? I do not have any cables so far
    1c:If yes, will my resolution increase on the 27inch or will I have the resolution of the mac book? What about the future Mac Book Air? Which resolution will be?
    2: If I cannot use it, is there any exchange program from Apple for old Macs against new ones? (Like for cars they have)

    I have a Late 2011 MacBookPro that I bought with the stock 5400 RPM HD.  Before I did anything with it, I replaced it with a Momentus XT drive.  In my Late 2007 MBP, I have used the original 160GB 5400 RPM drive for a few months before replacing it with a 7200 RPM (non XT) drive, and the difference was noticable, but not huge.  For me, the move from 7200 RPM to 7200RPM-Hybrid was noticable, but not huge.  I would say that you won't be disappointed by goign to a hybrid drive (as long as you get the 750GB version as some of the 500GB ones had firmware issues that caused nightmares for some Mac users.
    Now that I look more closely, you will probably see a fairly huge jump, as your existing drive is only negotatiating a SATA-I link, where the Momentus XT is a SATA-III drive, so it will be able to negotiate a SATA-II link to get the best performance of your controller.

  • Is Brand New Thunderbolt Display Faulty or just Dissapointing?

    I have just recieved a Retina MBP and a Thunderbolt display. Separately the displays look fine, but when put side-by-side the difference in colour is staggering. I can't believe there is this much of a difference so is my Thunderbolt display faulty?
    I've tried calibrating them through System Prefs/Displays, but the difference remains.
    The Retina MBP is pretty close to my old 1st gen Unibody MBP, so it seems the Thumnderbolt display is well off.
    Here is a picture:
    Old MBP on the left, Retina MBP on the right and Thunderbolt Display behind. The difference is much greater in reality.

    Well after the overwhelming response here I went into my local Apple store. My 'Genius' agreed that the colour was completely different, and actually looked quite shocked at how different they were side-by-side, but having compared my MBP with a few Thunderbolt displays he helpfully explained; 'It's totally different hardware.'  So just to get colour within the same ballpark I'm going to have to buy something to calibrate the screens. A nice little bonus after forking out close to £3000.

  • New Thunderbolt Displays - shop abroad?

    Howdy everyone.
    Being a UK customer (and student), buying the new Thunderbolt displays isn't cheap as the price in the UK works out at £899 but with student discount (12%), it works out at roughly £800. However, according to a MacTrust report, the new Thunderbolt displays on the US Apple site are selling for $999, which when converted to pounds works out at £625. Being a lot cheaper, is it worth going to the US Apple site to buy this or are there any differences reguarding sockets/plugs which wouldn't be any use of in the UK? It all sounds viable, but almost too good to be true. Lend me some of your views on this one please!
    And here's the report if any of you missed it. - http://www.mactrast.com/2011/09/apple-now-shipping-27-thunderbolt-displays-to-st ores/?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+mactrast+%28Mac Trast%29&utm_content=FaceBook

    Currently Apple is not selling a USB-C to Thunderbolt adaptor, they are selling HDMI and VGA adaptors on the website.
    You will need to wait until the adaptor is available before you can connect the new MB. Maybe a third party will create the adaptor.
    In the meantime I would not buy the new MB

  • Will the Black 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo MacBook work with the Thunderbolt Display?

    I'm looking into buying a new Thunderbolt Display, but do I need to buy a new MacBook Pro or will the Thunderbolt Display work with my Black 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo MacBook?

    Yes. You'll need to create a Mavericks USB installer from the App Store download, and the App Store is only available with 10.6 and above, so that's a challenge for you to overcome, but that SSD will install just fine.

  • Purchase Help: iMac 2011 vs Thunderbolt Display   Mac Mini 2011

    Hello,
    I purchased Thunderbolt display with Mac mini 2011. I experienced a lot of graphic issues with Mac mini when I connected to Thunderbolt display. I exchanged Mac mini 3 times but the same result. The Thunderbolt display is working fine with MacBook Pro 2011.
    I'm going to return both Thunderbolt display and Mac mini and interested to get iMac. Is there any differences between iMac and Thunderbolt display + Mac mini 2011? i.e., in technology, release update cycle, features etc? My main intention to buy Thunderbolt display is to use with both Mini and MacBook Pro.
    Any further help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

    I don't know why you are surprised at the similar sizes of the 27-inch iMac, the 27-inch Cinema Display, and the 27-inch Thunderbolt display.  The 27-inch iMac came first, and the others are "monitor-only" products that seem to use the same LCD panel(s).
    As to a current 27-inch iMac vs. a current 27-inch Thunderbolt display,
    * The iMac serves as a standalone computer, and can also serve as a dumb monitor for an external computer that has a Thunderbolt port.  When operating as a dumb monitor, the iMac only serves as a monitor; it does not offer breakout connections to USB 2.0, Firewire 800, or Gigabit Ethernet.
    * The Thunderbolt display is a dumb monitor for an external computer that has a Thunderbolt port.  It also serves as a breakout box for USB 2.0, Firewire, 800, and Gigabit Ethernet connections (which is convenient if your main machine is a laptop; you can do all of your docking with one Thunderbolt cable + one power cable).

  • I have my Macbook Air hooked up to a Tunderbolt Display, is there any way to either power on or wake from sleep mode using an Apple USB keyboard pluged into the Thunderbolt display?

    I have my Macbook Air hooked up to a Thunderbolt Display, is there any way to power on the Macbook Air using an Apple USB keyboard plugged into the Thunderbolt display? I would like to be able to keep the Macbook Air in the Archbook dock and not have to open it to power it on?
    Thanks for any advise.

  • I need help getting my Thunderbolt display to work with Windows 7 through Bootcamp.

    I recently bought a thunderbolt display and it works great in my Mac environment.  But I recently added Bootcamp and Windows 7 (I need since my Broker Dealer only uses Internet Explorer).  Unfortunately, I can't seem to get Windows to recognize my Thunderbolt display.  Today, I spent 2 hours with a very kind advisor from Apple Support but we didn't have any success.
    Here's my setup:
    MacBook Pro (purchased new in 2011) with i7 processor
    Thunderbolt Display
    Lion OS (all updates installed)
    Bootcamp with Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit (all updates installed)
    With the help of Apple Support, I downloaded and reinstalled (through the repair option) all the Bootcamp drivers.  I shut down my computer, plugged in the Thunderbolt display, turned it on and booted into Windows 7.  When the Windows Welcome screen appears, it shows on my Thunderbolt display for about 2-3 seconds.  But the thunderbolt quickly goes black.  My MacBook Pro changes to a 640x480 resolution and the Thunderbolt remains blacked out--with no signs of even a single flicker.  Once the computer finishes the start-up, my MacBook Pro remains in a 640x480 resolution, with no option to change the resolution (it's grayed out in Windows control panel).  If I unplug the Thunderbolt cable from my MacBook pro, the high resolution of my MacBook pro snaps back to normal.
    To me, this seems like some type of driver problem but I must be missing something simple because it appears that Thunderbolt works with Bootcamp and Windows 7--based on some of the readings I've found here in the Apple support community.  I'm most appreciative of anyone's help here.
