Connect MBA to LCD Flat Panel

I've tried to connect my MBA to my LG 42" LCD Flat Panel by using the RGB connector. When doing this, the MBA screen changes its resolution, but i can't see nothing on the LCD. Do I need to install a driver?

You are going to need to purchase an adapter from Apple to interface to the Mini DVI connector. Then get a cable like this from monoprice:

  • Can Powerbook connect to sony LCD flat panel fo simultaneous display?

    I want to buy the Sony KDL-52XBR2 LCD flat panel and connect my Powerbook G4 using an HDMI or HD-15 Pin cable for simultaneous display.
    While the TV specs say it will allow a PC to connect and display, I have had trouble in the past with Mac/tv connectivity because of video driver issues in either the Powerbook or the tv. I could not get both screens to display simultaneously (without parts being cut off at the bottom or sides). Apple would not support my question as the "connected device" (the tv) was not an apple product.
    Before I spend the money on a new TV, I would like to know if anyone has had success with "plug-and-play" connectivity to a 42" or 50" plasma or LCD flat panel, in particular a Sony product.
    Thanks in advance for sharing.

    There is no reliable way to know if a random TV will or will not suffer from the "overscan" problem where the top, bottom and sides are cut off. Many TVs do this and there is no way to get around it.
    What I would do is take your PowerBook to the retailer where you are buying the TV and ask them if you can hook up the PB to the floor model. That is the only way to know for sure if it works to your satisfaction. Either that or, if you have a specific TV and know its model number, you might be able to ask your question again and get an answer from someone that already owns the TV. The AVSforum.com are a good place to check for various TV models.

  • Hooking up 17" LCD Flat Panel Apple Monitor to an older G4

    I have an older G4 and bought a 17" LCD Flat Panel Apple Monitor Studio Display to use with it. However, the plug from the monitor doesn't fit into any of the G4 connections. Am I crazy? I thought these monitors were created for the G4s. I tried the USB port, but nothing happened. Am I gonna have to get an adapter?
    Sorry to be so ignorant. Can anyone help?
    Thank you in advance.

    The Apple Studio Display 17 (LCD) \[Clear lucite with white] has an ADC connector. Displays with ADC connector require a computer that supplies the required 25 Volt power through the cable, or if you use a DVI to ADC converter (with its own AC power cord) you can use a display card with DVI connector.
    Which older G4 or what speed in MHz?
    The PCI graphics and AGP Graphics cannot supply the 25 Volts to power this display. Gigabit Ethernet and later have the Power supply and the fingers in the AGP slot to pass that power to an ADC-equipped card.

  • Wireless connectivity with iMac G4 flat panel

    Hey everybody,
    We are thinking about buying an airport card for our imac G4 flat panel. We live in Ireland and are in the process of switching from a satellite dish-based Internet provider (connected via ethernet cable from the roof through the wall to the iMac) to our cable TV providers for a less expensive connection. The cable modem will be up in the TV room (the only cable CATV point that works), where we will attach a wireless router that will allow Internet access to the iMac downstairs and the iBook anywhere else in the house. Our cable providers offer 1, 2, 3 and 6 MB download speed packages. Here are the questions:
    1) Is the "Apple Part No. M7600LL/E" available on macwireless.com the right one for our flat panel iMac G4 from 2003?
    2) Is there any advantage to the airport card versus using a bridge? If so, which bridge is appropriate and easy to configure?
    3) Which wireless router is recommendable to link with the cable modem upstairs?
    4) Will the connection be strong enough between the router and the airport card or bridge to provide full speed and, possibly, VoIP (saving dough to one day be able to upgrade to a 20-inch iMac! LOL)? The distance is about 8 meters.
    5) If we later upgrade to a new iMac and give our son the flat panel will everything still plug and play?
    6) Which download speed package do we need to make everything run smoothly?
    7) Is it really feasible for a "layperson" to install the card themselves?
    Thanks again for your help!

    Forgot to say in my other post. There's no need to buy at that price ($199) and pay for shipping - there are plenty of UK/IE options for buying. 
    There are also alternatives like Ethernet over Mains electricity (14 or 85Mbps) which may be a better option than original Airport.

  • How to connect an old ADC flat panel to the new Mac mini?

    I am thinking of getting one of these new Mac mini's for the kids in the den and I have an old 20" flat panel ADC from Apple that is still going strong. Is there an adapter that will work with this configuration?
    Thanks,
    West

    Somewhat ungainly, but you'll need the mini-DVI-DVI adaptor (supplied with the new mini), and a DVI-ADC adaptor (http://store.apple.com/us/product/M8661LL/B?fnode=MTY1NDA5OQ&mco=MjE0NTg4NA)

  • Has Anyone Used Dell's New 23" SP2309W LCD Flat Panel?

    Good afternoon,
    I'm looking to buy a new external monitor for my soon to be purchased MacBook Pro 4,1 (Early 2008) model. I have also asked if anyone had any user info. about an Acer monitor, but no one replied. I'm serious about purchasing this new monitor by Dell, as it's features are quite amazing for its price. However, since it is fairly new there isn't much feedback on it, and I kinda want to know what experiences others have had with it. Thank you.
    AMMOCAN

    Good morning everyone,
    I have had the pleasure to use this monitor since I got it on Wednesday, and all I can say is WOW! This monitor is an absolute dream. Setting it up was a real breeze and my MBP recognized it right away without installing the drivers that came with the included disk. The touch sensitive power and menu sensors are awesome and are easy to use. The noise created by touching them annoyed me, but I was able to quickly go into the menu and turn it off. The adjusting features are very effective. I have used this monitor both as a split screen and as my main screen with no issues. I have played movies and games on it, and using the preset screen modes everything looked very good. I also used it to browse the internet and to do some graphic work with no issues. I still need to check out the camera, mic, and audio connections, but like I said before I didn't buy this monitor for those features. The only negative thing I have to say for this amazing monitor right now is that it is really inconvenient that in order to use the supplied USB connections on this monitor you have to connect the monitor to your computer with the supplied USB upstream cable. I will give another update no later than next weekend.

  • Where do I find Manual for the 15" LCD Flat Panel display?

    Looked in Manuals here and did k-base seach...all I get is the manual for the older 15 " LCD Display with the oval stand.
    TIA
    KL

    Terence, your response is about as useful as gills on a hummingbird
    Nice phrase.
    Not heard of the App Store then? Not running 10.6.6 or later? If the answer to either question is no then you're stone out of luck. The only place to buy iPhoto 11 without the rest of iLife is on the App Store.

  • Source for VESA LCD flat panel monitor mounts for Apple 30" Cinema display

    I'm looking for a source for a multi-panel (tiled-array) mounting system for 30" cinema displays.
    I can get the VESA mounting plates from Apple. What's hard to find is a multiple-panel arm or post and bracket system that can handle the size and weight of 4 to 8 monitors. The 30" cinema display weighs 27.5 lbs. So in total, roughly 100 to 200 pounds for a 2X2 or 2X4 tiled array.
    I know other groups have ended up making their own. I see many systems on the web for this number of displays - but none thus far that can handle both the size and weight.
    Any recommendations pro or con would be greatly appreciated.

  • Acer - 19" Widescreen Flat-Panel LCD HD Monitor

    I have a question about the Acer - 19" Widescreen Flat-Panel LCD HD Monitor.
    The link to the product:
    Acer- 19" Widescreen
    Under "Whats Included" it only says:
    Acer 19" Widescreen Flat-Panel LCD HD Monitor
    Owner's manual
    Does that mean a power cord, and the cord to connect it to your computer isn't included, since its not listed under Whats Included? Or is it just a given that those two things are included, thus they dont waste time writting it out.
    Hopefully I can get an answer before this deal goes away!
    Thanks

    Of course they do
    There are no manufacturers that would sell monitors without the required things to run them!
    The only exception is printers or television where they always make you buy the cables ...

  • UltraSharp 2407FPW 24.0-inch Wide Flat Panel LCD Monitor Supports HDCP,

    The Dell UltraSharp 2407FPW 24.0-inch Wide Flat Panel LCD Monitor Supports HDCP. I am going to order a Mac Pro and it has an Ati Radeon X1900 XT which is HDCP ready. But I really want an Apple Cinema 30 inch Display. Does anyone know how long it is going to take Apple to release the new displays with HDCP? And does anyone recommend the Dell Monitor> Is it better than the Apple Cinema Displays? Thank You.

    looking at both up close I think the 3007WFP looks nicer than the apple 30 inch, it also supports HDCP.

  • HT1752 iMac flat panel 2003 shows airport but does not connect

    Hi,iMac flat panel 2003 shows airport but does not connect

    No problems.
    Let's double-check your iMac's Internet Sharing configuration:
    To setup for Internet Sharing (Wired to Wireless):
    Setup the Network
    Cable Modem > (Ethernet cable) > \[Ethernet port] iMac > (wireless) > MacBook
    Enable Software Firewall (iMac)
    System Preferences > Security > Firewall
    o Block all incoming connections (enabled)
    Enable Internet Sharing (iMac)
    System Preferences > Sharing
    o Select "Internet Sharing" from the options in the left column
    o Share your connection from: Built-in Ethernet
    o To computers using: AirPort (checked) (Note: Uncheck all other entries in the list.)
    AirPort Options... (iMac)
    o Network Name: <anything you want>
    o Channel: Automatic
    o Enable encryption <do NOT enable at this time>
    o Click OK
    o Select "Internet Sharing" again
    o Click "Start" to start Internet Sharing
    o Click Start
    Please verify these settings, and try accessing the Internet from the MacBook again. For this exercise, I suggest co-locating the MacBook with the iMac.

  • Could I connect my PS3 to my Dell Flat-panel LED Monitor (s2309w)?

    So I own a dell 23 widescreen flat-panel led monitor (s2309w), is there some type of chord that I could buy to connect it to my PS3? This is what I have:
    http://accessories.dell.com/sna/products/displays/productdetail.aspx?c=ca&l=en&s=corp&sku=320-7339

    Simple answer is, you're not gonna be able to get audio with only your PS3, and that monitor without a receiver of some sort, or a TV with audio input.

  • Connect old flat panel

    i have one of apple's original flat panels.  have not used it in over a decade.  i suspect it still works. 
    i need a panel to use with a first gen mac pro and i wonder if i can utilize this.  it has a 15 pin connector.  is there anything that will mate to the mac pro?
    i don't need a lot of high function, just basic display.

    yeah, but i have this one and the project will be more like an experiment.  i don't want to spend any money if i can avoid it. 
    BTW, that was an interesting chart, but beyond my ken, although it looks like i have a DB-15.  now that i have looked at a picture, i am not so sure.
    ideally, someone will say you need X and here is where you find it.  
    it is an apple studio display M4551

  • Urgent - iMac G4 Flat Panel - Is Adding Monitor or Flat Screen TV Possible?

    Hello,
    As a present to my husband (mac guru) I would like to know if with his iMac Flat Panel G4, is it better to buy a 28 inch samsung computer monitor (flat panel) that he can also hook up his mac to or a kind of flat screen/panel LCD TV. The guys at futureshop and bestbuy seem to be "confused" when talking about macs and not pcs. With the computer monitor, there seems to be questions on if we'll be able to hook up our satellite tv... and with the tvs, there seems to be confusion on if we can hook up the computer. One of the reasons I want to hook the computer directly is my husband has had problems converting (burning to DVD) some videos with music background from iPhoto without doing a software update which requires us to change the timing with the audio and video in our already created slideshows. Please help quickly as some sales finish tomorrow. I need to know what to tell the store... i.e. what kind of jack or cables or capability I am looking for. Do I ask for USB port, coaxil input or what? Thanks in advance,
    Karen

    Yes you can connect a display or monitor but exactly which ones depends on which iMac G4 you have. 
    All iMac G4s have a Mini VGA port this will allow you to connect any standard PC Monitor (with a VGA connector) and mirror the iMac's internal display only. The later iMac G4's also allow the connection of S-Video and Composite Video devices (most TV's have this type of input) which allows you to mirror the display on to the TV.
    The MiniVGA to VGA and Mini VGA to S-Video/Composite adaptors are for sale online in the Apple Store ($19US/£15) or here.
    If you wanted to extend the screen size again it is possible on some iMacs but requires a firmware hack that will invalidate your warranty.
    I can't understand how having an external display will solve the burning to DVD issues though.....
    Post back with your Screen size and processor speed for exact info - or read this recent post
