Display Recommendation

Hi - I have an (almost) 2-year old 15' Macbook pro and really would like to invest in a minimum size 24 inch display as I am tired of hunching over my laptop. I also have a PC laptop for work. Is there an Apple display that I could use them both for? I would assume no for the PC. Not sure if there is a switch I can use to change from one to the other.
ANY help would be great as I am not sure the difference between LCD and Cinema display and what adapter is needed based on the age of my Macbook Pro.
Thanks!

I have never been wrong when taking home an LG or Samsung that looked to me in the store.

Display recommendations

I've got a G4 AGP -- I think it's a Gigabit Ethernet model -- which needs a new monitor. I'd like to get a 19" LCD flatscreen. The machine is 400 mhz has both ADC and VGA connectors.
Does anyone have any display recommendations they'd like to share? Or anything I should avoid when shopping for a display?
Thanks in advance!
G3 beige (OS 8.6), G4 AGP and TiBook, G5 Mac OS X (10.3.9)

I also have the same computer with VGA and ADC and want to set-up a second monitor. My OS is Tiger. I got an adaptor to go to the ADC port, but it still only shows one monitor at a time. In System Preferences, I don't have the Arrange panel either.
Can someone help???

2nd display recommendation

Greetings,
I'm retiring my old 17in Apple Studio Display. Currently I'm also using the 20in Apple Cinema Display (Clear casing using ADC). My mian usage is for photography. I need another 17in monitor for photoshop's palettes etc. Apple display is a bit more expensive and since I already has one, I'm thinking of other makes. Sumsung, Sony or Dell. Recommendation? Thanks

I use a Philips 19' as my second display and love it.
Happy Shopping!

OT: Display Recommendations, please?

My display has gone to meet the great screensaver in the sky and I'm currently working with my laptop and a magnifying glass.
I'd be greatfull for any recommendations for a replacement 20" LCD screen based upon your experiences. If you've used a colourimeter to set it up maybe you can let me know how that went in terms of 'linearity' of the RGB - in other words did they track each other or was one colour or two on a different curve.
Key requirements are:-
- 20"
- Ability to adjust RGB independently
- Brightness/Contrast in the region of 300/800:1
- dot pitch at least 0.255
- no less than 1280 x 1024
- 8 bit
- DVI and VGA
Dell looks good so far.

Richard...
Many thanks.
I eventually bought a 20" widescreen NEC monitor. It's 16:10 aspect ratio is a good fit for my camera images at 3:2 (15:10)
Resolution is 1680:1050
I'm still getting used to it but so far so good.

19" or 24" of Extended Monitor Display recommendation

Hi,
Looking for a 19" or 20" or 24" of Extended Monitor Display for my new MacBook Pro.
What's your recommendation?
Wish to grab some other brand instead Apple Cinema.
*Hi-Res and WideScreen*
Thanks!

The boogers are back. Power Supply was not the culprit.
However I had resolved Issue #2:
Another Issue is that so far, a few times when starting the computer in the morning the monitor will not come on. Instead, the white power light flickers in sequences of three. The third flicker stays on the longest.
Resolution:
According to the monitor manual, the white flickers are a code. For two short flashes followed by a longer one, is indicative of a backlight issue on the display.
So Apple will need to replace or fix the display for the backlight issue.
As for the other issue I've noticed a few others have had similar issues with "The Blue Fuzzies", at the threads below:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=3430273#3430273
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=706702&tstart=0
To update my original post, hovering the mouse over the affected areas does not produce a trailing effect anymore.
To temporarily fix either issue involves shutting down the monitor, and unplugging and replugging-in that odd connector on that small white power box that comes with the monitor, (the "DC" cable). (Which originally led me to believe the power supply was at fault.)
Though the monitor and the computer sits on a solid oak desk, I have recently discovered that when "The Blue Fuzzies" are occuring, a very slight bump on the table increases the amount of Fuzzies, or changes the pattern of which they are running. I discovered this when I sneezed.
So where I'm at now is querying anyone with a ati1900 card with a similar issue with "The Blue Fuzzies", as the other (white flickers code) will require replacing/fixing the monitor.
If the x1900 card is stable (none of TBF), I'd rather just get that when the monitor gets replaced.

External display recommendations?

I have a black MacBook (2.0ghz, 2 gigs of ram, etc.) and am in the market for a new external display. I'm currently running a 19" LCD (VGA) as an extended display, but the color is rather miserable and the image quality is awful. I've been leaning toward getting an Apple 23" Cinema display, but before I purchased that I thought it would be a good idea to get some feedback from people who might have had better experience with other displays. I want as much screen real estate as I can power with the MacBook and am desirous of beautiful color. I would also love to be able to plug my xBox into it for the times when the TV is in use, but that's definitely not a deal breaker. I probably need to learn some patience or something.
Awesome. Thanks.

hey there MadHatter,
the MacBook specs page allows for support up to a 23" display, but i've connected to a 42" Sony LCD projection HDTV over DVI>HDMI. get one w/ the new ATSC tuner as most of these will have an HDMI input or 2/3. higher contrast ratios(1200:1-i wouldn't get less, & above) will likely cost more as does a larger size(above 26") & will generally have the higher contrast ratios, some up to 15,000:1. 26" and above i feel deliver better "television" picture. get what fits your budget that has the best specs & features. i've got the 42" Sony/HDMI, a 26" Olevia LCD HDTV monitor/DVI(won't go to 1920 x 1080) & a 23" Philips LCD HDTV monitor/DVI. all bought for various reasons @ different times, a couple on sale/cleareance. i also use an optical audio cable w/ the Sony into my Sony AVR.
good luck, hope this helps.

New Mac Mini display recommendations

I need a display for my Mac Mini and I can't really afford one of those nice Apple displays. As you know there are hundreds of third party displays and resolutions. I would like to find something around 20"-22", DMI, and of course resolutions that are supported by the mini. Around $450-$500. The purpose of this system is drawing and artwork.
Thanks,
PickyBiker

I agree with Stork. I'd love to have a couple Cinema displays. But my wife would kill me. But let me report on my experience with Dell.
First. I'm a architect. And I do plenty of highend rendering. So I need a respectable display...or two. I was a bit leary of my first 20" Dell. I was looking at it as a "Throw away" But Six year later, its still solid visually. After that I started experimenting with other monitors (Careful to keep cost under $250). Two years ago, I got a 24" Acer monitor(1920X1200). It had incredible specs...and I use it for all my 3D models. Along with Cinema displays, I use it to compare all the other monitors that I buy. Then...I bought (2) 23" monitors. and I should have got the 24" with 1920X1200(my mistake) but they are still good monitors for dual display in my office.(I take expensive stuff home)
I went to fryes and best buy to compare monitors. Put on your earbuds (to avoid the sales people) and go look at couple monitors at 45 degree angle. As Stork says, use your eye. And have fun.

SX20 and SX10 best practices for small conference rooms using built in Display Speakers

Hi,
Im planning to deploy some small meeting rooms using SX10 and SX20 codecs, I was wondering if someone could give me some key points to consider:
1. Display recommendation, nice built in speakers, low delay (goog performance with codec echo canceller) I wish to use a 60 - 70 inch Led TV (not yet defined which brand and model) I would like to receive some feedback about nice performance displays with nice audio and echo cancellation performance based on your experience.
2. What would be the drawbacks of using SX10 and SX20 in larger meeting rooms maybe 10 or 12 people?
3. When to use external microphone? or when is recommended to use only internal microphone?
Thanks in advance for your help.
Best Regards, have a nice day!

Pretty well any modern display should work well - different people are going to have different ideas about whether the speakers are any good or not, so you'll have to listen to a few yourself and make up your mid what you think is "better". The echo cancellation can be tweaked manually on the codec to suit the display if required (rather than leaving it on the "auto" setting which, in our installations, has caused more troubles than it's worth).
The main drawback of using the SX10, or the cheaper of the range of the SX20s, is the camera and the amount of zoom. In a larger room, you're not going to get a good close up view with a 2.5x camera. I'd suggest for a bigger room, you look at the 12x cameras.
As a general rule - use additional microphone(s) when you can't get someone within a 3m radius one of the other microphones. So in a larger room, you may need many.

If you have one of the new dual core G5s that will work. If you don't then that RAM will not work. It is DDR2 and the older PowerMac G5s use DDR.

Macbook Pro 15" or iMac 27"

Hello,
I am finally taking the leap and will be buying a Mac. I have no idea what I'm doing nor do I know anything about computers besides running programs I use on a normal basis. I'm a student learning to become an Interior Designer who used Autocad (mostly), Photoshop, and Illistator. I orignially wanted a 13" but I found the screen to maybe be a little smaller than I would prefer. I was hoping the Apple Community could HELP ME!
As I said, I use Autocad a lot, along with Photoshop and Illustrator on ocasian, now these programs will only installed into my computer. I like to save all of my files(work) to External Hard drives. I have no idea how these computers would handle the programs and wanted some guidance into this invesetment. When I visited the apple store I felt as the staff was trying to upsell me into specs I dont even need. Does anyone out there use these applications and if so what computer and specs you recomend? OR even if your know something about computer this would greatly help me.
Thank you
My school sent me this as "Suggested" requriments from each program I use which made me so much more confused.

Yes, either the 27" iMac or 15" MacBook Pro will be fast enough to run AutoCAD, Photoshop, and Illustrator well. You do not need to be confused by the requirements because basically all new Macs meet most of the requirements already. The only thing you need to pay attention to is that whichever one you get, looking at the system requirements for the programs, you will want to order either computer with at least 8GB of RAM and a 256GB internal storage. If your budget allows, you can increase those amounts, but you don't have to.
AutoCAD has one additional requirement, a mouse. I think this is because CAD programs make heavy use of the right mouse button and even the middle/scrollwheel buttons. This will be easy to get because you can connect just about any USB mouse to a Mac, even a $5 PC mouse will work.
The Illustrator requirements mention a DVD drive. Remember that the iMac and MacBook Pro do not have an optical drive. But I am confused by the requirement because Adobe software can generally be installed from a download so that an optical disc drive is not needed. You may need to get further clarification from your school about this. If for some reason the school does not provide software by download and only provides the programs on optical disc, you can just buy a USB optical drive and plug it in.

Laptop for editing with Adobe Premiere & After Effects CS6

Hi, I'm just started a company working with young people, and I need a laptop for editing some videos (short films/music videos).
I was looking at a cheap laptop to be able to run Adobe Premiere and After Effects smoothly. I was told that this laptop would run smoothly:
http://www.pcworld.co.uk/gbuk/hp-envy-m6-1178sa-15-6-laptop-17419990-pdt.html
Can anyone confirm this? The graphics card is not listed on the Adobe's website but I was told it's compatible?
Im new to this stuff so please help, thank you.

How realistic are the system requirements Adobe posts on their site?

You have to be from another world to believe these requirements. Note the last optional statement. Up to and including CS4 this stated:
Dedicated 7200 RPM hard drive (multiple fast disk drives, preferably RAID 0 configured) for video products.
Nobody in his right mind believes that system requirements get lower over time. It is purely a marketing lie to artificially lure prospective buyers.
The requirement to have two physical disks for CS6 is bogus.
If anything is bogus, it is the system requirements from Adobe and only fools would try to use a system with these minimum requirements, like this:
Pentium 4 with 4 GB of RAM, 24.5 GB of hard disk space is enough according to them.
Harm is confusing editing with getting high PPBM scores, I am afraid - again. Not all projects have 10 layers of H.264 stacked with heavy effects for two hours straight. The vast majority of editing is simple transitions and effects with 10 minutes of YouTube encoding twice a week.
Wrong assumption. I was thinking of a simple DV timeline with one single track. And however much you dislike the PPBM benchmark, it is the only available tool to show how well a system is setup and in balance.
