Connect new MacPro to 27" monitor with 2560x1440 resolution

Hello community,
I'm looking for help connecting my new Mac Pro (late-2013, 3 GHz 8-core, 64 gb ram, currently running OS X 10.9.5) to a 27" Monoprice IPS-ZERO-G monitor. The monitor only has VGA and Dual-Link DVI inputs, and is supposed to support 2560x1440 native resolution. However, when connecting either with a mini-display port to DVI adapter, or an HDMI to DVI cable, I'm only getting 1920x1080 resolution. Any thoughts on how to get the full resolution I was hoping for? Thanks!
Justin

You need a dual-link adopter like:

Hello everyone, I would like to know if a retina display macbook 15 "there is a way to connect 2 monitors full hd and use it as if it were a single monitor with a resolution of 3840x1080. Thanks

Hello everyone, I bought a macbook retina 15 "display.'ve Connected 2 full hd 1920x1080 monitor as extended desktop, if I cast two movies I can see them on the second monitor, but if I wanted to launch 3840x1080 1 movie how do I watch on two monitors side by side ? same thing if I wanted to work on both monitors as if it were a single monitor with a resolution of 3840x1080. I hope for your reply, sorry for my English, I used a translator. Thanks

If you have used the Displays system preference to arrange the monitors next to each other, you should be able to stretch a movie player window across both monitors.
I do not think there is a way to show the movie full screen across both monitors, because full screen usually takes over just one monitor.

Connect 2 externa monitors with different resolutions?

Is it possible to oonnect 2 external monitors, with different resolutions to a mbp pro?
I've read some about the "matrox solution", but that one requires that the monitors uses the same resolution.
And, just to be clear, I don't want to just duplicate the screens, one should be primary.

You may want to phone OWC and ask whether what you want to do is possible if one monitor is connected to the mini-Displayport and the other is connected to a USB port using this adapter:
http://eshop.macsales.com/item/Other%20World%20Computing/VIDU2DVIA/
Note that the OWC adapter, like most USB video adapters I've seen advertised, is limited to a maximum resolution of 1600 x 1200, so you won't want to use it with a monitor whose native resolution is higher than that.

Connection MSI GTX 980 Gaming 4G with 2560x1440 monitor

Hi.
I'm going to buy WQHD (2560x1440) monitor. How to connect MSI GTX 980 Gaming 4G to use 2560x1440 resolution? The specification for card states:
DVI Connectors
1 (Dual-link DVI-I)
Max Resolution: 2048x1536 @60 Hz.
HDMI Connectors
1 (version 1.4a/2.0)
Max Resolution: 4096x2160 @24 Hz (1.4a), 3840x2160 @60 Hz (2.0)
DisplayPort
3 (version 1.2)
Max Resolution: 4096x2160 @60 Hz
I prefer connection over DVI but according to above spec I'm affraid if will be impossible...
I've heard the picture quality over HDMI/DisplayPort is worse then over DVI - is it right?

This cannot be possible Dual Link DVI is capable up to 2560x1600
I just purchased 2x 980s gaming and all the current cards only support DVI up to 1 (Dual-link DVI-I) Max Resolution: 2048x1536 @60 Hz.
This is incorrect unless MSI HQ R&D did not test 2560x1440 and 2560x1600 res or they put crappy components inside this card to not allow it. I went back and fourth with owners on newegg with this card one owner did verify that it does work . For me I own a Monitor that only uses DVI dual link at 2560x1440. This will be a deal breaker for me if the cards do not work with my monitor or the video cards do not function correctly.
This does not make any sense what so ever for a manufacture to implement this standard as the majority of the population isnt even on 2560x1440 or 4k. So i am pretty upset about how tech support fails to acknowledge the reasoning behind this new DVI standard . Go look at the 760-780 series all say max res 2560x1600.
So my question to everyone out there who owns this card am i screwed or should i just use my dual link cable to run 2560x1440 even though it states 2048x1536 max res. Someone that i know online says it works so whats the deal?
FYI this video card does support a max res of 2560x1600 over DVI
Tech support for MSI and Sales department were not trained correctly to let the customer understand that Max Resolution on the website for DVI 2048x1536 is for using the analog VGA adapter
Hope everyone now understands! Because this took me 4 hours of my time to figure out on my own with the help of Newegg tech support and verified owners!

Looking for a new Samsung 22-24" monitor with matte finish (no glossy!)

I'm shopping for a replacement for my old 22" Samsung 226BBW, which is slowly but surely giving up the ghost (flickers for about 30 min when turned on from cold). I'd like to replace it with another Samsung, as overall I've had good experiences with them.
This monitor will sit on my desk next to a 24" Samsung 2443BW, which has a matte finish on the screen. I'd really like to replace it with another 22-24" monitor with a matte finish, both for consistency and personal preference.
I've done some research, and my current favorite is the S24B350HL, but I can't tell from the information available online (bestbuy.com and elsewhere) if this model has a matte or gloss finish on the screen. Could a sales associate (or owner of this model) clarify this for me?
If that model has a gloss finish, I'd welcome suggestions for comparable Samsung models with a matte finish. Preferably around $250 or less, LED backlit with 2ms response time, 1000:1 or greater static contrast, and 250 nits or greater brightness.
Thanks in advance!
Tim

Thanks for the reply!
But are you saying that a "matte" finish would have the anti-glare coating, and a "glossy" finish would not? Or is it the opposite? Because on best buy's site, the S24B350HL (SKU 5523073) does NOT have an anti-glare coating, but 4835351 (which you recommended) does.
Hope I'm being clear.

Auto-Detect Screen Resolution Does Not Work Across Multiple Monitors With Different Resolutions

Hi,
The Acrobat Pro DC (15.007.20033.2203) auto-detect screen resolution feature does not work with multiple monitors at different resolutions. Acrobat looks fine on my hidpi primary laptop display (Razr 14" 2014) but is completely unusable if I drag or extend the application to a standard HD resolution secondary monitor. Dragging Acrobat from my primary desktop display to the secondary display causes the UI elements to become 2x as large as they should be and makes Acrobat unusable.
Is there a way to make Acrobat auto-detect the display that it is currently on?
Thanks!
-Donald

To prevent it from happing again, you can
1. go to the Mouse preference and turn off the scroll zoom feature.
2. go to the Universal Access preference and disable the zoom features.

New MacPro: Good temperature Monitor Application for the nMP?

Can anyone suggest a good temperature monitoring application they have used for the new Mac Pro?
Thanks

I would recommend iStat Menus (http://bjango.com/mac/istatmenus/). I switched to it when I got the Mac Pro 2013 because Hardware Monitor doesn't work with the new Mac Pro. It's pretty good, although the history is only visual with graphs showing the evolution of the different sensors temperature. With Harware Monitor it was possible to read the temperature that were recorded at a certain point in time.

Connect laptop to a external monitor with laptop screen off

I need to connect my laptop to an external monitor but i need my laptop screen off.
Is it possible? I use an hdmi or vga connection, gnome as DE and ati 5700 graphic card

mm...
try on a terminal "xrandr"
first type xrandr to know the name of the two displays... then
xrandr --output laptopdisplayname --off --output monitorname --preferred
That will turn of the laptop display and turn on the monitor....
But I don't know if that command runs on gnome.. if it runs try to download "arandr" gui app of xrandr from yaourt

Can I use the new in December iMac monitor with the mini mac?

Considering buying the new iMac the Dec. issue. I wanted to know if this iMac monitor can also be used as a monitor for the new Mini Mac?

One of those Apple 27" ones would be cheaper: http://store.apple.com/us/browse/home/shop_mac/mac_accessories/displays

Samsung 204BW 20" Monitor with Incorrect Resolution

I have a Samsung 204BW 20" monitor attached to a PowerBook G4.
It used to work perfectly fine until 2 weeks ago when it died. I sent it for repair to Samsung. I got it back today. However, when connected, I can only see a 1280x1024 resolution, rather than the correct one, 1680x1050.
When I get the SyncMaster menu under /System Preferences/Displays, the larger resolution shown for the monitor is 1280x1024. Somebody at Samsung suggested to reinstall the nVIDIA driver (graphics card), but the driver is not available on nVIDIA's website. In fact, their site mentions that in the case of notebooks, it is generally the manufacturer who updates drivers for their cards, given the often tailor-made solutions required in those instances.
Anybody can help?
BTW, I used to have the correct resolution shown before the screen turned black and I had to send the monitor to the repair shop. The monitor is working now, except for my inability to see the correct resolution.

I tried your recommended approach about connecting the monitor to other computer. I still cannot get the maximum monitor resolution.
You have no idea what a nightmare going through Samsung customer support has been. To make a long story short, please read the following paragraph.
They have different levels (1,2, etc.) of support, and there were contradictory answers. Some people would point me to download the newest driver version for the video card, mine is nVIDIA. When you go to the nVIDIA site, it clearly specifies that video cards for laptops follow very unique specifications, and should be dealt with the computer manufacturer, so no driver download at the end. Others at the company were saying we cannot point you anywhere, the video card is from a different company. A real disaster. I ended up hanging up after more than 3 hours online on two different days.
Anyways, still not able to get the maximum resolution potential from the monitor.

Windows 7/8.1 2560x1440 resolution on external monitor.

Hello, i have macbook pro 13 (late2013), i installed windows 8.1 and connected to my external monitor with 2560x1440 resolution.But windows allow to use maximum 2048x1152.I use minidisplayport to displayport adapter and have last drivers.Now i installed windows 7, but problem is still the same.Please help.

higher resolutions require more video memory if your macbook pro don't have enough and the windows driver can't use shared video memory then likely that could be the cause

Does Nvidia GT 120 support 2560x1440 Resolution

Hi from Germany,
I have an MacPro 4,1 Intel Xeon QuadCore, running two wonderful NEC Multisync P221W 22" monitors with 1680x1050 px resolution.
For I am working in the motion graphics business it is always no fun to work on video-spots with for example 1280x720 pix (HDTV) on an 22" monitor.
So I would like to upgrade one of the NEC monitors to a 27" monitor with 2560x1440 resolution and I would like to be sure, if the graphic card will support the two monitors.
Thanks in advance, Andy

NVIDIA GeForce GT 120 includes two video ports: one Mini DisplayPort and one dual-link DVI port. This allows you to connect both the 24-inch Apple LED Cinema Display or another Mini DisplayPort-based display, and a DVI-based display such as the 30-inch Apple Cinema HD Display. Display adapters are available to connect VGA displays.
NVIDIA GeForce GT 120
Nvidia specs:
GeForce GT 120 OEM
The most common graphic card, and not w/o its own problems with displays, even when used in 2009, is the 5770.
ATI Radeon HD 5770 Mac Pro pre-2010
ATI HD 5770 MC742ZM A

If I buy an external monitor (with a res of 2560x1440) will my early 2011 MacBook Pro work ok? And will it be utilising the monitors full res or not?

Hi,
I have an early 2011 MacBook Pro. I use Premiere Pro CS5 to video edit on. It's fine but when it comes to grading it's nearly impossible on such a small screen.
I'd like to buy a 27inch external monitor (Asus, Samsung, Dell, whatever - haven't decided yet) for when I'm editing at work (which is most days). My query is regarding the resolutions. Obviously my MacBook Pro displays a resolution of 1280x800, so if I buy a monitor with a resolution of 2560x1440 for example, what gets displayed?
And also does the connecting cable make any difference? For example, if I'm connecting by Thunderbolt out to HDMI, then an HDMI to HDMI cable to the external monitor, what happens then? Or should I be using a Mini Display Port to Display Port connecting lead?
I guess all I really want to know is, will it work? But also, am I wasting my money buying an external monitor with a 2560x1440 resolution? Should I just go for one that's the same res at my MacBook Pro?
I've never really understood how these things all work!
Thanks in advance for anyones help.
Regards,
Phil

I think it will work. You would need a mini displayport to (single link) DVI adapter to hook up that monitor.
Not sure what kind of problems you had with the ViewSonic but I'm guessing the Dell is probably a better monitor anyhow.
