Dell UltraSharp U2713HM Monitor question

Newegg has a shell shocker deal in about 5 hours for this monitor at $549.99 US plus shipping ($7.59). I have been lurking the hardware forum for some time waiting for the opportunity (cash) to build a proper editing system.
While that is not going to happen anytime soon, I do have a need for a new monitor. A search of the forum shows that other UltraSharp models are generally accepted as a decent midrange monitor. My main concern is the ability to calibrate it for use in the CS6 suite of products (using the proper calibration tools) for color accurate representation. The main use would be for premiere pro.
If I have done this correctly, here is the Newegg link to the monitor. The price shown is before the 2 hour window to purchase it begins.

Thanks all for your input.

Thank you both for your input. 10 bit color (which I don't believe I need as of yet) and usb 3.0 capabilities aside, if you had to choose between a U2713HM or the older U2711 would one have a clear advantage with regards to accurate color correction/grading?
The older 2711 consumes more power and I have read that some people find the screen coating a problem for them while the newer 2713 has the same screen coating but appears to not be as "bad". The price is about on par with each other as best I can tell?

Can the late 2013 Macbook Pro Retina 13" power 2 external Dell UltraSharp U2713HM monitors at full resolution?

Hi, I'm looking at buying the current Macbook Pro Retina 13", but I'd like to use it with 2 Dell UltraSharp U2713HM monitors http://configure.euro.dell.com/dellstore/config.aspx?c=uk&cs=ukdhs1&kc=305&l=en& oc=U2713HM-Black&s=dhs&sbc=dell-u2713hm
My plan was to use the the thunderbolt ports to the monitors DisplayPort plug. Can the 13" Macbook Pro drive 2 external screens @ 2560x1440 I'm happy to shut the macbook lid if necessary.
If the 13" can't do it, can the 15" model with it's discrete graphics card?

Why not the Apple Thunderbolt screen, well I prefer a non-reflective screen in the office, but If I can't do it with the Dell's can it be done with 2 27" Thunderbolt monitors from the 13" Macbook Pro?

In a word, yes.
The video out capabilities for the 13" and 15" retina MBPs are the same.

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
That monitor has got a lot of ports you can use. The easiest and cheapest way to connect the iMac to the Dell monitor is through a Mini DisplayPort cable, because you do not need any adapter.
Another way you have is to connect it through HDMI. In this case, you need a Mini DisplayPort to HDMI adapter and a HDMI cable

Not recognizing max resolution of 2560x1600- Dell UltraSharp U3011 Monitor

I just got a 30" Dell UltraSharp U3011 monitor. For some reason, my MacBook Pro is not detecting that the maximum resolution should be 2560 x 1600. I'm connecting the monitor to the laptop with a DVI cable and Mini Display Port to DVI adapter which the Apple Store rep said would give me the max resolution and best picture quality.
Any thoughts on what I can do to solve this?

Hello. I can confirm that CrypticGuru is correct. I bought this cable which fixed the problem (same cable he lists, straight from the source):
http://www.monoprice.com/products/product.asp?c_id=102&cp_id=10246&cs_id=1024606 &p_id=6007&seq=1&format=2
With this I now get beautiful 2560x1600 resolution on the u3011 and without the annoying audio error message from this other forum, where I cross-posted my experience:

I am not an image/video guy so I can't comment on color calibration, but it looks right to my eyes.

MBP retina 15'' with dell ultrasharp u2713hm

Hi.
Does anyone know if these 2 work together?
do I need any special cable to use the max resolution of 2560-by-1440 that the monitor supports?
Thank you!

Hello TimeSeeker,
I currently use a Dell U3011, basically a 30" version of the Dell U2713.
I use it with my MacBook Pro15 w/Retina display. BobTheFisherman is right about the TB. The primary advantage of the Apple TB 27" dispaly is the ability to Daisy Chain TB devices and also use the TB link to provide a wired network connection at GIgabit rates. The ability for TB to handle data as well as video is what makes it a TB port instead of a Mini-Display port. It can also provide power via the mag safe cable.
I have had my U3011's (I actuallly have two for photography and video work) for a couple of years, originally I used them with a MacBookAir, MacMini and a Windows based PC for flight simulation. There was a little frustration at first getting a Display Port to MiniDisplay Port cable that worked well enough. I finally got one throught StarTech.
The Dell's have served me well I particularly like the 16:10 aspect ratio. The Apple TB is a 16:9, minor difference and personal preference. All that being said, I am seriously considering buying an Apple TB display for the Mac connectiivity it provides.
One last word of caution, if you want to mix platforms, Mac and Window, I'd recommend sticking with the Dell. It provides connectivity to both platforms but doesn't have the Mac platorm features of the Apple TB display. Good luck.

MBP + dual dell ultrasharp monitors?

Hey All,
Im running a 2013 MBP 15"
I was wondering if anyone knew if I could power the following two monitors:
MBP
+ Dell UltraSharp U2412M 61cm (24") LED - Running Vertically 1200x1920
+ Dell UltraSharp U2713HM 69cm (27") LED - Running Horizontally 2560x1440
I was thinking:
HDMI -> 24"
Thundbolt/DVI -> 27"
Could anyone confirm if this will work?
Thanks.
Andy.

The standard Nvidia 7300GT
will support up to one 30" display as well as a 24"
display. If you are looking for support for two 30"
displays you will need to upgrade to the ATi X1900 XT
otherwise the 7300 GT will be fine for all other
combinations.
Ned I have 3 30inch Apple Cinema displays AND HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO GET A PROPER CABLE TO DRIVE THE OTHER TWO MONITORS! I HAVE THE NVIDIA QUATTRO 4500 CARD, BUT AM ONLY ABLE TO GET A POOR SIGNAL OVER 20FEET USING DUAL DVI-D CABLES. TRIED EVERTHING!

Mac Pro with a DELL 27" Monitor Question

Hi all,
I'm getting a New Mac Pro with a Dell UltraSharp 27"
The question is what kind of plug in/wire should i get for my laptop to the monitor?
As I don't have a clue, if you need a look at the information on those monitor, here's the link http://accessories.euro.dell.com/sna/productdetail.aspx?c=ie&l=en&cs=iedhs1&sku= 381164
Hpe to hear from you and get things sorted!

miniDisplayPort-to-DVI adapter . Use this to connect to either the DVI or HDMI input on the display; you will need an appropriate cable (maleDVI-to-maleDVI or maleDVI-to-maleHDMI depending on the connection you choose).
miniDisplayPort-to-VGA adapter . Use this to connect to the VGA input on the display. You will need a male VGA-male VGA cable.

No Scaling Option for Dell WQHD IPS Monitor

I have a Dell UltraSharp U2713HM which have a Native Resolution2560 x 1440 at 60 Hz .
I used MDP to DP cable ant my new macbook pro retina is driving it @Native Resolution2560 x 1440 at 60 Hz just fine.
My RMBP's "Colour LCD" is scaling perfectly. but my U2713HM have no scaling options like RMBP screen.
I can Downgrade resolution to 1080p or something other than that there is no option.
I see some videos on youtube that OS X support 4k display with same scaling options on my RMBP display.
On my U2713HM native resolution looks good but difficult to browse Facebook etc.
it is too small. if i downscale resolution it is not as good as 2560 x 1440.
How to solve this problem?
This is my first mac

Hi Rich,
Normally I wouldn't recommend cross-posting, but if this isn't a MBP hardware issue, there is also a Windows Compatibility forum you may want to post in. Good luck.

My caveats; These are not the only adapters that you can find. I have a feeling that these may be of inferior quality and I suggest you find some that are first rate. Too many problems occur using cheap connectors. After all your MBP is first rate and deserves the best.
Length is dependent upon your environmental requirements. What I selected here is in a format that should work. I like this configuration because of its simplicity. I use a Mini/HDMI adapter which connects to a separate HDMI cable. Nothing wrong with that, but not as tidy.
Ciao.

Need help connecting Dell U2713HM monitor to MacBook Pro

What is the best way to connect a Dell U2713HM monitor to MacBook Pro OS 10.7.5 to maximize the resolution 2560 x 1440? I was using a VGA adapter on my old Viewsonic monitor that hooked into the Thunderbolt port, I think. When I use my old adapter with the new Dell monitor, it stops my Mac from responding and the monitor says it has no DVI connection. When I unplug the adapter from my Mac, it starts working again. I'm not very good with all these port options and descriptions so talk real slow, please.

1 Dual Link Digital Visual Interface connectors (DVI-D) with HDCP
1 DisplayPort 1.2 (DP)
1 High Definition Multimedia Interface (HDMI)
1 Video Graphics Array (VGA)
1 USB 3.0 upstream port
4 USB 3.0 downstream ports
Thank you!

Connecting two Dell Ultrasharp Monitors to Late 2014 Mac Mini

Hello, I want to connect another Dell UltraSharp Monitor, (identical), to my Mac Mini, late 2014 model. However, there's only one HDMI port, and two Thunderbolt ports, can I connect two monitors to this machine?

Yes. You can use the thunderbolt ports with either DVI or HDMI adapters to connect the screens to.

Thunderbolt, takes the mini display connectors.

Hello, I just bought a 2013 Mac mini and I cannot get the sound to output to my Dell U2713HM monitor. I went to sound output but even though my Dell shows up there when I select it there is no sound output to it. I am using a mini DP to DP cable...

Hi Alxx911, and John Hammer1. After reading John's reply - " You can plug something into it's headphone jack. though" . I thought i'd try out of curiosity. I plugged in some headphones. I didn't expect anything to happen and nothing happened. The audio jack is for the Dell soundbar which is optional.
Here's a direct copy and paste from the users manual: Section About Your Monitor.
Attaching the Soundbar AX510 / AX510PA (Optional) CAUTION: Do not use with any device other than the Dell Soundbar. NOTE: The Soundbar power connector (+12 V DC output) is for the optional Dell Soundbar AX510/AX510PAonly. To attach the Soundbar: 1. Working from the back of the monitor, attach the Soundbar by aligning the two slots with the two tabs along the bottom of the monitor. 2. Slide the Soundbar to the left until it snaps into place. 3. Connectthe Soundbar with the DC power connector. 4. Insert the mini stereo plug from the back of the Soundbar into the computerís audio output jack. For HDMI/DP, you can insert the mini stereo plug into the monitorís audio output port. If there is no sound, check your PC if the Audio output is configured to HDMI/DP output.
This monitor has no speakers. (Like John Hammer1 mentioned). The no speakers feature was one of the reasons I chose this monitor.
Good Luck !

Sale on Dell UltraSharp U2711 and U3011 Monitors

I noticed while over at the Tom's Hardware site a decent sale on two of the top-of-the-line Dell monitors. I know this looks like spam but I'm not affiliated with Tom's hardware in any way; I'm just passing on what looks like a decent price, for any of you who might be ready to buy a monitor...
U2711 - $807
U3011 - $1196
Both are with free shipping.
http://www.tomshardware.com/news/deals-ultrasharp-lcd-monitor-sale,16180.html
The U3011 is the one I'd get if I had a spare $1196 handy right at this moment. Maybe I can find a way to scrape enough together in the next day or so... 2560 x 1600 could replace my current dual monitor 3200 x 1200 desktop nicely I think. If only there was something actually wrong with these old Dell U2001FPs... Where's my coffee cup...
Here are some pretty good in-depth reviews on these monitors:

It's just 100 ppi on the 30 incher, Trevor. That's the beauty of it being so big. As it turns out the dual 20 inchers I'm running now are 100ppi, and I find it to be a very sweet resolution (not that I wouldn't like 200 ppi).
I suppose that's a possible downside to getting one of these monitors now... It could end up that right around the corner are super high resolution monitors that would make one regret purchasing "old tech".
I got to thinking about video cards yesterday evening, and I almost worked myself up to pulling the trigger on the U3011 plus a new VisionTek ATI Radeon 7850 (2 GB) with 3x the performance of my current video card.
I'm quite used to my 3200 x 1200 desktop, so changing to a 2560 x 1600 desktop might be just a bit of a challenge... When not doing Photoshop I often tend to put reference materials on one monitor while actively working on the other. Of course, I could retain one or both of these perfectly functional 20" monitors turned up sideways as "ears" on both sides and just add the 30" unit in the center... THAT would be an amazing desktop!
Lundberg, I appreciate your skepticism, but the Dell U3011 to me right now represents the most attractive offering out there.

Does Mavericks have the problem fixed with working with the Dell UltraSharp U3014 30 inch monitor?

Does Mavericks have the problem fixed with working with the Dell UltraSharp U3014 30 inch monitor?

I have this (or a similar) issue and I did notice something interesting. After I boot into Windows via Bootcamp (where I have the U3014 specfic driver installed) and then reboot into MacOS X (Mavericks) the monitor works flawlessly.
I would hazard a guess that this means bootcamp is retaining the driver used in Windows. Kind of the reverse of the TB GBE adapter driver issue.
To explain my issue for anyone else: the monitor flicks on and off as if the connection was poor. Connecting via HDMI. Connection is fine and as stated, everything works fine in Bootcamp.
