Connecting a Dell Laptop to two 23in Apple Cinema Displays??

The Dell laptop has a DVI Output and an S-video plug available.
What do you recommend to hook up two 23in Apple Cinema Displays to the laptop?

Apple 20" Cinema LCD $799 (only DVI-D input) + vga ==> DVI converter $300 = $1099.
Dell 2005FPW 20" LCD $559.2 (vga + DVI + AV input)

  • Dell Inspiron 15r to 30'' Apple Cinema Display

    Trying to connect my dell inspiron to a 30 '' apple cinema display with dual link dvi. I have vga and hdmi inputs on my dell but what do I buy to make the connection work with limited loss of resolution? Thanks!

    Are you sure it's a 30" display?  The 30" has a DVI plug.  They never made a dual-link ADC.
    If it is a smaller display with ADC

    you will need a DVI to ADC adapter

  • How do i connect my Fujitsu Tablet + mac Pro to Apple Cinema Display 23'?

    Dear Mac users
    thanks in advance for your help.
    I currently own:
    • Fujitsu T 4220 (tablet) – Mobile Intel 965 Express – 60 Hertz – goes up to 1680*1050 (guess SXGA) – (it has the following other supported resolutions: 1400*1050, 1280*1024, 1280*768, 1280*720, 1024*768, and 800*600)
    • Mac Pro
    • Apple Cinema Display 23’
    What I would like to do is, please refer to the jpeg posted on http://www.flickr.com/photos/34831802@N06/3234336204/, connect – at the same time – my tablet pc and my Mac Pro to the 23' Apple Cinema Display and switch (when I need) from tablet to MacPro using the same 23’ ACD. Top would be to be able to switch for one to the other while they’re both switched on. Usually on 2 pc’s with vga I’d use a switch A → B (in the jpeg it would be I → E) with a selector.
    Have been reading different posts such as: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=8000641&#8000641 or http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=6530475&#6530475 or
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=7417258&#7417258
    + others on the net and have (hopefully) understood that:
    a) from Vga to Dvi I need a converter such as Geffen’s or similar
    b) the problem with ACD 23’ is that it has only 3 resolutions: 1024*640, 1280*800 or 1920*1200
    In the attached image I guessed a connection in order to connect – at the same time – both the machines to the 23’ ACD:
    1) my fujitsu tablet (i in the image) has to be connected, with a Vga cable (h), to the Vga → Dvi converter (g).
    2) from the Vga → Dvi converter (g) I need to connecto to the Dvi switch (c)
    3) easier is connecting the Mac Pro (e), since I only need a Dvi cable (d) to connecto to the Dvi switch (c)
    4) the Dvi switch (c) will then be connected to the 23’ ACD with a Dvi cable
    Now, my questions are:
    a) is the solution described above (Vga cable (h) to the Vga → Dvi converter (g)) a good solution or should I use, instead, a docking statione that comes with a Fujitsu Port Replicator (FPCPR65) which has a 1 x DVI-D port?
    b) Given the 3 resolution accepted by the 23’ ACD (1024*640, 1280*800 or 1920*1200), I do not understand if I can use my tablet through a Vga to Dvi Converter and at which resolution (my tablet has the following other supported resolutions: 1680*1050, 1400*1050, 1280*1024, 1280*768, 1280*720, 1024*768, and 800*600).
    c) Is there a way, also using an external video card or converter, to bring my resolution from 1680*1050 to 1920*1200? (the 16:10 ratio is in fact the same = WXGA (1280x800), WXGA+ (1440x900), WSXGA+ (1680x1050), WUXGA (1920x1200)
    d) Talking about Vga → Dvi converter (g), am aware of the gefen product. Can you please list some others that might be good as well?
    e) And how about the DVI switch? Any will work? Any particular suggestion?
    Thank you very much for your help.
    If you have any other suggestion, please let me know.
    Regards,
    Emil

    Noone to help me?
    No ideas?
    Thanks,

  • 5770 with 27" Apple LED and two 20" Apple Cinema Displays w/Mac Pro

    As stated, I just bought a brand new Mac Pro 8-core (2010 ID 5,1) with a 5770 card and I'm trying to hook up a new 27" Apple LED and two 20" cinema displays. One of the 20" monitors is using the MDP adapter into the 5770 and the 27" is directly connected to the other MDP port. When I try to hook up the other 20" to the DVI port on the 5770 I get nothing. The screen is black and the it is not recognized as being connected. I'm using the standard DVI connector that came with the 20" direct into the 5770. To make sure it isn't a monitor problem, I switched out the 20" displays and both work using the MDP adapter but neither work plugging directly into the DVI port on the 5770. I believe the 20" monitors use DVI-D. (Is that correct?) So what's the scoop on getting blank screens when plugging into the DVI port on the 5770? Thanks for any help.

    "• the 27" is directly connected to the other MDP port.
    • One of the 20" monitors is using the MDP adapter into the 5770.
    • When I try to hook up the other 20" to the DVI port on the 5770 I get nothing.
    Note: If you are using an Apple Mini DisplayPort to DVI adapter, only two displays are supported across the three ports.
    If you are connecting three displays, any DVI displays must be connected to either the Dual-Link DVI port or must use an Apple Mini DisplayPort to Dual-Link Adapter.
    You MUST use All "Active" or "Powered" Mini DisplayPort connector such as the Apple Dual Link, or you can only use two displays

  • 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!

  • Fuzzy 20" apple cinema display

    Hi All,
    got two major issues with my home studio set up, bought two 20" apple cinema displays only to find out that my crappy G5 only has one port. Has anyone had any problems with the DVI to ADC adaptor?. As this seems to be my only option.
    I also connected both displays to the one DVI port i do have, only to notice that both displays are showing a fuzzy image. I've checked all connections and also rest the PRAM, but yet the displays are both showing a fuzzy image.
    The graphics card i have is
    NVIDIA GeForce FX 5200 Ultra with 64MB of DDR SDRAM
    can anyone shed some light on this
    Many thanks in advance

    Maybe the screen is slightly zoomed. Try Command-Option-8 once or twice.

  • Worth of 23" Apple Cinema Display?

    Hello. I am looking to sell my 23" Apple Cinema Display. either on Craigs List or eBay. Can anyone help me figure out how to assess its worth? It's in perfect working order though I've had it for a few years. I appreciate any thoughts on the matter. Thank you.

    Hi, I own two 23" Apple Cinema displays that I bought off of craigslist.  I paid somewhere between $300-$400 each.  To accurately guage how much they're going for, go to ebay and select the "advance" button.  Then have the "completed listings" selected.   Then enter what you're looking for, namely the Apple 23" Cinema Display and you'll have a listing of what people had purchased them for as opposed to hoping for.  Good luck.

  • Using only an Apple Cinema Display connected to MBP (w/ the lid closed)

    Hi,
    Could someone please help me on a small but rather annoying problem?
    I have a Mac Book Pro 17" connected to an Apple Cinema Display 24". All I would like to do is to just use the Cinema Display, close the laptop lid, and for the MBP not to go into sleep mode (taking the Apple Display away with it).
    I've looked in the Display and Energy Saver settings and have trawled through the online forums but as yet have not had any luck.
    Can someone point me in the right direction?
    Many thanks, M>/.

    Apple supports using an external keyboard/mouse to wake the MBP in clamshell mode.

    The other option is 3rd party software to disable lid-closed sleep:

  • How to connect a apple cinema display to an imac

    I have a brand new 27 inch iMac. I also own a 30 inch  Apple Cinema Display.  What peripheral adaptor do I need to connect the display to my new iMac?

    Hello,
    Thunderbolt/Mini DisplayPort-> Dual Link DVi cable...
    http://store.apple.com/us/product/MB571Z/A/mini-displayport-to-dual-link-dvi-ada pter
    A notable peculiarity of Thunderbolt is that it uses exactly the same connector as Mini Display Port, and that's not all. The Thunderbolt connector also carries Mini Display Port video signals. That means you can plug a Mini Display Port video cable/adapter in to a Thunderbolt connector and your monitor will work.
