Dell 24" LCD HD S2409 Question?

Hello,
Im just looking at maybe purchasing the above and I dont really know a great deal about monitors etc but the resolution for it states 1920x1080 and would this be fine with the mini as I have used a 24" 1920x1200 ACD before and wondered if the Dell could be used at the res of 1920x1200?
Thanks

Hi, I just bought the Dell S2409W with 1920x1080 resolution, and it does not work for me. I have had it 3 days and have been searching high and low for support on how to make it work. Here is my set-up:
Mac MIni 1.4GHzG4 1Gb RAM
Old Monitor was a Dell WFP2408 (24" at 1920x1200)
Connected via DVI
I changed my resolution to 1024x768 when I took it off of my old monitor. I plug it into my new monitor (the S2409W) and it starts the monitor as if somthing was going to happen, then it just goes into sleep mode. I tried resetting the PNR thing but that did not work either...any ideas:

  • Connecting my Mac Mini DVI video output to Dell W3706MC LCD TV VGA Input

    I tried connecting my mac mini to the Dell W3706MC LCD TV VGA input but it wanted me to change the resolution of the mac to 1360 x 768 at 60 Hz. I did that but it still would not display the video. I tried my PC laptop and that worked fine with different resolutions. So I know that there is nothing wrong with the TV. Did anyone experience this same problem?
    Any help would be great.
    Thanks,
    Karl

    I'm confused about your comment "it wanted me to change the resolution of the mac to 1360 x 768 at 60 Hz." I presume the way this was communicated was through a dialog box, correct? But if you could see a dialog box, that means you had a working screen at one point, correct? Why don't you just run at that resolution?

  • Dell 24" LCD monitor shows barely perceptible lag

    I have a Power Mac G5 and just bought a Dell 24" LCD monitor, the 2405FPW, for $825. After happily clearing off my desk of two old CRT's and connecting it up and using it for a couple days, I began to notice a lag between anything I did and when it would appear on the screen. The lag is barely noticeable, but I tend to mouse around very quickly and need precise control of the pointer, and after hours of use, the slight discrepancy seems to be causing me fatigue. It's also a problem when playing Quake (fast-action first-person shooter game). The lag doesn't exist with my old Sony 19" CRT.
    Before jumping to any conclusions that I'm insane, please look at this short video clip that clearly demonstrates the same problem. It's quite amazing to see. The video is linked from this page:
    <http://weblogs.asp.net/ryanw/archive/2004/09/23/233681.aspx>
    (You may have to save it to your desktop and then double-click it to see it.)
    The guy hooked both an LCD and a CRT monitor to his machine and spanned a window across the boundary between the two. Then he videotaped what happens if you move the window up and down. You can see clearly that the LCD screen takes longer before it draws its half of the window. Ouch!! He compares using his LCD monitor to "swimming in molasses" (which later spawns an interesting discussion involving a hazmat worker and an overturned tanker of molasses), but I wouldn't go that far.
    I ran the same experiment in the video and got the same results (and so did my dad, with his Powerbook Pismo, which is interesting because he never noticed the lag through normal, daily use of the computer). Then I took my Sony CRT to the Apple store and hooked it up next to a 23" Apple Cinema Display. I did the same experiment and there was no lag!! So unless someone has a solution for the Dell monitor, the $500 price difference might be the price I'll have to pay for Mac compatibility. I might wait as long as I can for the price to go down (the salesperson said the last price reduction was last November).
    Very few people seem to experience this problem in general (or don't notice it), so I have no idea why it's affecting my system. It's basically a stock dual 2GHz G5, running Mac OS X 10.4.4, with 2.5GB RAM and stock graphics card which should more than handle this (ATI Radeon 9600 Pro, 64MB, AGP 8x). I'm using the digital monitor connection, as opposed to VGA. I'm running very few preference panes and kernel extensions. Dell tech support would have nothing to do with the issue because they don't support Macs, but after some finagling, I finally got the monitor returned with a full refund. My suspicion is that some sort of driver somewhere needs to be updated, but with no support from Dell (their web site doesn't even seem to have a support section for their own monitors), I'm not sure who to expect this from or when.
    This problem is subtle and many find it unnoticeable, if they're even experiencing it. So I would like to know if anyone else has a Dell LCD and a regular CRT monitor both hooked up to their system and could try the experiment in the video to confirm "scientifically" that they don't experience this problem!

    My post has started a more extensive discussion on this problem at an Ars Technica forum:
    <http://episteme.arstechnica.com/groupee/forums?a=tpc&s=50009562&f=67909965&m=41 90936913&r=796009877731#796009877731>
    It appears that the problem may be inherent in all PVA-based LCD's, which include the Dell 2405FPW. It's not noticeable by everyone but so far everyone I've seen who's taken the time to run an objective test has uncovered the lag. If you can run the test, please do! (See earlier in this thread, or see the Ars Technica thread for a better test involving a stopwatch program run on two monitors).
    The good news is Apple's 23" Cinema Display is based on a SIPS LCD panel (as is a similar HP display, and I think a Sony display), and these don't suffer from the lag.

  • QuickSilver 867 G4 with default ADC and Dell 1704FPT LCD DVI

    I finally have a digital LCD to use with my Quicksilver 867 Mhz G4, thanks to a package deal with Dell.
    But I wonder if my Mac's build-in ADC support can drive the DVI input of the Dell 1704FPT LCD, with Apple's ADC to DVI adapter, or if I need to get a DVI video card for this purpose. I plan to run at a 1280 by 1024 resoultion.
    For that matter, I have a DVI switchbox and Sony 19" DVI digital LCD in use with my PC's and Mac mini. Would the build-in ADC support that as well with the adapter?
    Thanks for our input.

    Update: Here are the specifics on my card and monitor. I note no core image support.
    I'd really appreciate feedback on whether I can use this card for DVI output to my LDC monitor.
    Thanks.

  • Connect Sun Ultra2 to a Dell 19" LCD Monitor

    Hi
    Can you connect Sun Ultra2 to a Dell LCD Monitor 19" using a Sun Graphics adaptor HD15F
    Thanks,
    -Will

    The answer is probably "No".
    An Ultra-2 only has SBUS and UPA slots (no PCI slots), and few of the qualified graphics boards had HD15 connectors. There was no integrated graphics. All system administration could be done via command-line through its serial port.
    The default screen output of a Sun system is 1152x900 at a vertical refresh rate of 66Hz. The best you are likely to see on that PeeCee flat panel screen is a scrambled "something" that may eventually make your eyes hurt.
    When you say "Sun Graphics adaptor HD15F" are you are simply stating there seems to be a familiar graphics shape on the system or are you asking about some sort of adapter cable? That doesn't tell us the actual card that is in the system.
    Keep in mind that you are asking about hardware that is probably 15 years old.
    It may have been cutting edge back then, but it has been very much passed since that time.
    For a more precise answer, you will need to open the computer, remove the graphics board, and copy the part number from its barcode paper sticker. We would need the first seven digit (something such as 501-4790xxxx ).
    You could have posted this hardware question to the [Hardware Forum|http://forums.sun.com/forum.jspa?forumID=828] you know, or even just search that forum for whatever you might need. This topic has been discussed over there many times in the past five or six years.

  • Two 23" HD or two DELL 24" LCD ???

    Hi guys,
    I am thinking on buying either two Apple 23" HD or two 24" DELL (2407WFP 1:1000 contrast; ready for High Definition input!)
    I'm still using a PC but my question is more in terms of quality; Currently I'm using two 19" monitors (almost 10 hours a day) and the only thing that I'm concern is the quality of the screens (don't want to be too tired).
    I have an iBook and the screen's quality is phenomenon; this is why I doubt the two options.
    Dell offers a contrast ration of 1:1000 HD ready, while the apple 1:700 HD
    I wonder if anyone can advise.
    thank you

    I'm using both right now. I had the Dell 24" for a year on my PC, looks great with WindowsXP. But not with OS X, things doesn't seem that correct color and sharpness as it did with WindowsXP. I just started using 23"ACD for my MacBookPro, OS X looks a bit nicer than it did on the Dell.
    Base on your setup, I'm guessing you are a designer? If so, go for the 23"ACD since the dell have some color-banding probem when u picking colors. If you going to be mostly use it for general usage or power computing, the Dell is fine.

  • 30" Dell 2008 LCD w/ MacBook?

    Hello everyone.
    I have a 30" Dell LCD that's hooked up to my Dell PC. I live in a small studio apartment so it serves as my television (blu-ray, cable, PS3).
    I want to hook both my MacBook Pro (17" 3.06Ghz) & MacBook Air (2.13" SSD) up to my 30" (not at the same time of course)
    Both have the 9400 chip and are mini-display port.
    My 30" has a display port, HDMI, DVI and VGA inputs.
    What connector do I need to hook up my laptops to it? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
    Message was edited by: adamjackson1984

    Your best bet is a mini-DisplayPort to HDMI adapter. There's one available from monoprice.com. That will do the video. For audio, a mini-stereo to RCA cable, or if the display has optical audio in, you'd want a mini-Toslink to Toslink cable. Both would connect to the headphone port of the computer (which is a combined analog/digital port).

  • Blackberry Desktop on Dell Venue Pro 8 Tablet Questions

    I have read that it is possible to use Blackberry Desktop with Windows 8 & 8.1.  And I have read that Blackberry Desktop works with any version of Outlook other than 2013.   I have been told by Microsoft that I can install any version of Outlook older than 2013 onto a Windows 8 or 8.1 device.  HAS anyone out there done this.  I really like my Torch 9800 and wish to be able to use it with the new Dell tablet.  OR does anyone have any other inexpensive tablet ideas.

    Please re-read the above system requirements page...I'm not at all sure that the Desktop Software is compatible with any tablet at all...but you need to compare your gear against what the Desktop Software supports.
    Good luck!

  • Will my 17in MBP Support Dell 30in LCD

    Hey guys ,
    I'm currently running the 23in Apple Monitor(which Im curious on how it will compaire to the 30in Dell). Is my mbp cap. of running such a large monitor ? Also Is they're any know way to run dual external monitors on the mbp ? Thanks

    According to page 25 of the MBP Manual...http://manuals.info.apple.com/en/MacBookPro15and17-inch_Core2DuoUserGuide.pdf
    Video Mode Toggle key
    Switch between dual-display mode (extending the desktop across the built-in display and an external display) and video-mirroring mode (presenting the same information on both displays).
    I would assume this would work with a Dell monitor as well.

  • HT4356 Hello I have a Netgear R4500 router and connected to Dell 1720 laser printer. Question how can i print from my iphone 5?

    need some in configuring to print from iphone 5 to dell 1720 using r4500 router

    There shouldn't be any configuring necessary.
    As long as your iPhone and printer are both connected to the same wireless network it should just work.
    Go to the picture/document you want to print, select the options button (usually looks like a square with an arrow coming out of it) and you should have an option to 'print' or something along those lines.
    If the option is not coming up, and you're sure they're both connected to the same network, then it's possible that Dell and apple don't like each other. I seem to remember hearing that Airprint may only work with HP printers?

  • IPad Camera Kit and Dell SX2210 LCD monitor

    My Dell SX2210 has a built in 3.2 megapixel camera built into the monitor. Any chance if I buy the iPad camera kit and plug it into my iPad the plug and play might work? I have read on forums that some users have success with this monitor's camera on MacBook Pros and Mac minis.
    Any idea if this setup might work?

    I am not sure but I think not.
    The camera connection kit seems to look for image files in a camera type directory structure.
    The monitor camera probably outputs a live video feed. Is this correct?

  • LCD Screen Brightness Question

    Hi,
    Had no idea where to post this...
    Sadly, I've always used CRT monitors. I just recently got 2 LCD Monitors, 2 20" Acers. The screen went through the auto config to set the brightness/contrast/gamma etc. I'm using a Radeon 9250 video card.
    The screens are so bright...is that just something to get used to, for the most part?

    Hello playdafunkimuzic!
    Is it an analog/digital lcd ? Can you set it with menu realted buttons if it has got ? Is it work normally under other distribution/operating_system ? How did you get the xorg.conf ? Which kernel/driver/X do you use ?

  • Sound for Dell LCD TV/Monitor?

    Thanks for answers in advance. I am sure this has been answered somewhere but cannot find it.
    I just converted to the dark side and purchased a Mac Mini. I hooked the Mini to a Dell 23" LCD TV/Monitor. Instead of ordinary computer speakers I want to use the speakers on the TV.
    What do I need?

    I am running the same setup you are, except its a 19" Samsung TV and I have it hooked up via VGA. Next to the VGA port there is a port labeled "PC AUDIO". This allows me to run a dual sided 3.5mm audio cable from the audio out port on the mini to the audio in port on the TV.
    There should be something similar on your Dell, but I am not sure. Look at the back and in the user manual to see what kind of ports there are.
    Here are some 3.5mm cables:
