Dell 3007WFP 30"

I've searched, and haven't found where anyone has confirmed this works with the shipping stock Mac PRO!
My 3007WFP will be here today, and i'm confident it will work with the GF7300 card (of course, it'll be better with the X1900 or faster), but i'll post my findings when I get it hooked up!

The Mac Pro and the default Nvidia 7300GT will drive the Dell 3007WFP 30" display just fine.

  • Apple 30" vs. Dell 3007WFP

    Has anyone compared their 30 display to the Dell 3007WFP? I just read that it says the Dell has better image quality and fast pixel response.

    Dell offers a 5 (five) year warranty option. Apple 1 year. My experience of customer service from Dell is fantastic. It is simply impossible to be any better in my view: 4 hours replacement on site of any part
    Beat that Apple?

  • Dell 3007WFP and a Mac Mini

    Hey guys
    I'm not sure if this is the right forum, but it was the only one that seemed appropriate. I'm thinking about buying a mac mini, and i want to know if it will work with my 30" Dell 3007WFP Monitor.
    I know it wont work with the Apple 30" display, and ive found posts saying that the mac mini and dell are compatible, and that they arent. If anyone has a definite answer, (ie: they've done it themselves and know it works) any responses would be great.
    Thanks in advance
    Glenn

    The Mac Mini has a maximum display resolution of 1920 x 1200. the 30" Dell 3007WFP Monitor is 2560 x 1600, so cannot work at full resolution with a Mac Mini. You need a computer with dual-link DVI.

  • Colour difference issues on wide gamut Dell 3007wfp

    Hey guys,
    I was wondering if someone could help with this problem that is driving me insane. I have tried a lot of possible solutions I found online, but nothing seems to work.
    The problem I've got is that when I save a JPEG in Photoshop through Save for web I get oversaturated and darker colours in web browsers on both of my monitors.
    What I am trying to achieve is seeing the same colours in PS as the ones I get in web browsers. I don't really care about the colours in PS being incorrect for print, etc, as I am a web designer and the only thing that matters to me is monitor colour.
    While playing around with colour settings (changing them and then doing a Save for web) I was able to achieve exactly the same colours on both monitors that did at the same time match the initial Photoshop design - stupidly I can't remember what I have changed in the existing PS file colour settings, but the colours went quite dull, then when saving for web they looked exactly how I wanted them to look on both monitors, they also did match the initial colour of the PS file. Of course switching to different colour settings each time I need to save something for web is not ideal, but I would be quite happy if someone could explain to me how to at least achieve this...
    My setup:
    Dell 3007wfp wide gamut
    Dell 2405wfp
    Windows 7 64bit
    Photoshop CS4 64bit
    Pantone Huey calibrator
    My Windows colour management settings:
    My Photoshop colour settings for the file I am working on atm:
    Any help would be much appreciated.
    Thank you

    I don't really care about the colours in PS being incorrect for print,
    etc, as I am a web designer and the only thing that matters to me is
    monitor colour.
    photoshop prints through a Source Profile> Print Profile CONVERSION
    your monitor profile has nothing to do with how Ps prints your source color
    (at least in my work flow)
    photoshop displays RGB color through a Source Profile> Monitor Profile CONVERSION
    your print profile has nothing to do with how Ps displays your source color
    after you get your monitor profile ruled out,
    the next step is to verify if Ps is using the correct Source Profile, and if you are Saving your web images in sRGB, and if you are embedding the sRGB profile or not
    the last step would be to nail down if your test browser reads embedded profiles (it is color managed like Ps)
    and what profile the browser applies by Default (in the case it is not color managed, or the test files are untagged)
    and if that Default profile is then CONVERTED to Monitor RGB or sent straight to the monitor...

  • DELL  3007WFP-HC with MacPro/ATI X1900XT?

    I am considering buying Dell 3007WFP-HC as the second monitor for my Mac Pro (equipped with ATI X1900XT).
    Is there any problem using this combination, especially the flickering/dancing pixel problem?

    No, I've had no problems. Philip provides the core monitor components to apple and dell for these items. The OS "saw" the dells instantly, loaded a solid default profile and they look really good. You can still tweak these like any other monitor.
    That is not to say that may not prefer the apple product over the dell. But, I'm really happy with the dells and independant testing by multiple labs has not reported the "flickering/dancing pixel" problem that is being reported by users.

  • MBP + Dell 3007WFP

    Hello,
    I have MBP 17" with GF 8600M GT (256MB) video card. I just bought Dell 3007WFP monitor but I can only get 1280x800 out of it. I do have dual link cable and as far as specs say video card capable of doing 2560x1600 resolution. I wonder what is wrong ?
    Any suggestion?
    Thanks,
    M.

    Are you sure your cable says "Dual-link" on the cable jacket? It sounds exactly like what would happen if a single link cable were used.

  • Problem with Dell 3007wfp

    So I just got my new Dell 30" and the only problem is is that it won't go above 1280x800. If I try to do it, the image gets so distorted that I can't even switch it back to a viewable resolution. I end up having to hook my old monitor up to it to fix it. I'm running the 1900xt card on my Mac Pro. Am I missing something?

    I just had a similar problem on hooking up a Dell 300&WFP to a Dual-core Intel Xeon Mac Pro with a NVIDIA GeForce 7300 GT video card. Both Mac and monitor were right out of the box.
    On initial connection of the Dell's DVI-dual link cable to the left-hand female DVI port (facing the back of the Mac), the maximum resolution I saw was 1200 x 800, and it was very disappointingly jaggy. Interposing the DVI adapter that came with the Mac did not help.
    Interestingly, switching the Dell's DVI cable to the Mac's other DVI port (right-hand, closer to the USB ports, etc), after turning the monitor off but without restarting the Mac, just led to a black screen on the monitor.
    Fortunately, however, if the power button on the Mac was then pressed for just a few seconds, but not long enough to restart the Mac (Dell now hooked to the right-had DVI port directly, i.e., without adapter), computer and monitor synched. I now had a wide range of resolution options (800 x 500 to 2560 x 1600), all appropriately sharp.
    Hope this helps others.

  • 30" Dell 3007WFP Monitor to G-5

    I hope there is help out there? I have a Dell 30" cinema style monitor and I plugged it into my G-5. The images look decent but the text and icons look somewhat jagged / bitmapped / pixelated / choppy (not really sure the best way to explain it). I am somewhat a novice and not sure how I adjust the resolution to fit the monitor. Right now it is at 1280 x 800. There are a limited number of resolution settings. I downloaded the shareware to change the settings, but how do you know what the setting are supposed to be for your monitor. I called Dell and they couldn't give me anything further than what is on their site. As far as I can tell that is not much. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Your card doesn't have dual-link DVI. You could look for a used Mac NVIDIA GeForce 6800 GT DDL or NVIDIA GeForce 6800 Ultra DDL, which were optional on your model of G5, or buy a new card. The fastest is the ATI Radeon® X800 XT MAC Edition RoHS 256MB AGP

    A cheaper (and slower) board is the ATI Radeon® 9600 Pro PC & MAC Edition RoHS 256MB AGP

  • For aperture: The Cinema 30 inch or the Dell 3007WFP?

    Is it true that they have the same underlying LCD screen. It's $1349 instead of $1999.

    Jan,
    Just a nit, but you don't "calibrate" a monitor, you
    "characterize" it by making a profile. (Apple makes
    the same error!)
    You are correct above--but not totally. Monitors can be both calibrated and characterized. In recent years calibration has fallen into the background because most LCD monitors can't be calibrated.
    Calibration is what happens when you make adjustments to the monitor's display characteristics.
    Characterization is when you measure a monitor and describe what it does for various inputs. That description is usually an ICC profile.
    The Apple Cinema displays are set at the factory to a gamma 2.2 curve and have a native white-point of about 6300K. You can't change these features on the monitor. That's why I say the Cinema display is an uncalibrated display.
    What you can do--what most profiling packages do if you ask them to adjust the white-point--is to make adjustments in the video card. This is not the same as adjusting at the monitor (not possible with Apple). The problem is that our DVI connection only passes 256 shades of each color RGB to the monitor. If you start making adjustments in the video card you will have less than 256 shades of each color available. That's not good. It's not a tragedy but you will loose the ability to see some detail that might be present in your digital files.
    There are only two current LCD monitors that I know which can be calibrated Eizo and some NEC models.
    Don't get me wrong. The Apple cinema displays are quite good. It they weren't I would't be using the Cinema 23. However, there are better technologies available.
    The word 'ghosting' may not be precise to describe the problem with the cinema 30. What I see in all of them is when I place a window in a screen position for a few seconds (10-15s) then close the window a faint image of the window and it's contents remains for about 10-15s afterwards. All LCD displays to this, some more than others. The Cinema 30 more than most.
    It's not ideal for Color work. Not deadly but definitely not ideal. I traded my Cinema display to a friend who is also a photographer. He loves it. We all interact with our tools differently. It is good get a heads-up of potential problems and decide for yourself. That is why I love the forums.

  • How do I get 2560x1600 with a 30" Dell display in Bootcamp on the Retina MBP

    I had a MBA 11" that recognized the 30" Dell 3007WFP display at its native resolution.
    To get it to work in Mountain Lion I used the "hold option when scaling" trick. Success.
    Bootcamp though isn't working.
    Since getting Retina MBP and Mountain Lion Bootcamp NVIDIA graphic drivers installed, I can play games on the Retina at 2880x1800 fine, and the external only works at 1280x800. It shows that it can go up to 2560x1600 but it doesn't actually work.
    Is there something wrong with Apple's adapter for Thunderbolt to DVI-D Dual Link and the new drivers or the MBP Retina's Thunderbolt port?  The display is only receiving Single Link instead of Dual Link, limiting the resolution to 1280x800 instead of 2560x1600.

    hi guys
    before I bought Retina, I did a little research on the internet...
    I remember reading that for the time being, you cannot use retina MBP with other displays at max or higher resolution under bootcamp...
    I read that the driver for this retina mbp video card was Apple Mac OsX specific or something like that.
    Therefore, no support under other than Mac osx environment yet...
    I don't know if I made myself clear...
    you can do a little research on the internet and you'll easily find articles talking about this issue...

  • Lion, Dell External Display, no higher resolutions !!!!!

    Hi,
    Apologies if this is the wrong area for this to go into... but i think this is a problem with Lion rather than anything else.
    Recently got a new MacBook Pro 15" (woo hoo !!!) and its running Lion.
    When i go into the System Preferences > Display, the highest resolution is showing up as 1680x1050. That's fine.
    Now when i plug my Dell 3007WFP external monitor into the laptop the maximum resolution that i can select is 1280x800. It recognizes the display, but just doesn't have the higher resolutions for me to be able to select.
    I didn't have this problem with my old 17" MacBook Pro running Snow Leopard.
    Any ideas on what the problem might be, and how i can fix it ???
    Thanks in advance for all suggestions...
    Silver

    Update...
    Found the solution to the problem...
    Basically, its nothing to do with Lion or a fault on the MacBook Pro...
    All new Macbook's ship with the Thunderbolt port. So if you want to plug an external display in which is 30" or more then you need to use a Mini Display Port to Dual Link DVI adapter. I was using a Mini Display to DVI adaptar, so i was basically getting half the resolution (1280x800) !!! Now with the dual link, i have full 2560x1600 glory !!!
    Liink to the device at Apple Store... http://store.apple.com/us/product/MB571Z/A?mco=MTY3ODQ5OTY
    Hope that helps someone else who has the problem.

  • Mac Mini late 2012 with 2 Dell u2913wm monitors?

    Hey everyone,
    I am currently using 2 19inch monitors connected to a late 2012 Mac Mini with the intel core i5 and the 4000 graphics. I have been looking and am either going to go for the dell 3007wfp's or dell u2913wm monitors depending on what is available at the time. I know the 3007wfp's are old but i'm not a fan of the current dell 30inch screens.
    My question is would the Mac Mini be able to drive either of the screens? Keep in mind I want to run 2 of these monitors like I have been with the current 2. I could not go back to single monitor even with the ultra wide setup. ( Just me )
    Would there be any problems you think i would encounter or would it be plug and play and work well???
    Thanks
    Dan

  • Mini displayport to dual-Link DVI Adapter - flicker issue resolved

    I have a late 2013 Imac 27 inch and I had a 30"  Dell 3007wfp as my second monitor on the standard DVI adapter for a while at low resolution.  I finally got off my behind and bought the mini displayport to dual-Link DVI Adapter...  I was excited to see it in all it's glory.  It immediately started flickering wildly and I thought I'd do some reading to see how I could resolve it.   Pointers to making sure the adapter was version 1.03 didn't help. 
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3232
    I already had it.  I was getting ready to bite the bullet and just take it back when I decided to see if I had another DVI cable to swap the one I was using out "just in case".  I found another one.. same length.  Darn it. Then I noticed the DVI cable diameter I was using was significantly thinner than the one I found in my box of etc...  What the heck? I thought.
    Connected it and BOOM!  Vivid colors, high resolution, no more flickers!!   Issue gone.  Happy days!

  • External display resolution help needed - also posted on SL group

    hi
    I bought a DELL 3007WFP 30" LCD monitor in 2007. It worked perfectly with my old MacBook Pro and Tiger and Leopard and in System Preferences > Display gave me options of 1920 x 1200 pixels or 1440 x 900 pixels as well as 1280 x 800 pixels.
    I have recently moved to a new 17" UniBody MacBook Pro with NVIDIA Geoforce 9600GT and 9400GM graphic cards in it (which is fabulous!!) and also upgraded to Snow Leopard.
    Now when I plug in the DELL I get a maximum resolution option of 1280 x 800.
    Whilst this resolution makes the text nice and big for my 43 year old failing eyesight I find it very un-Mac like for this to happen. I have looked here and found a few suggestions eg have been playing with SwitchResX4 and got the 1440 option back in the list BUT when selected the screen goes black.
    2 questions:
    1) What is that has made this problem appear - is it Snow Leopard or the new MacBook Pro and its hardware?
    2) Should I persevere with SwitchResX4or is there another solution?
    best

    To use the full resolution of your 30" monitor, you need a *mini-Displayport to dual-link DVI* adapter:
