GMA950 and Dell 2005FPW

Will the Dell 2005FPW be supported at 1680 x 1050 by the GMA950 graphics?

It has to. Dell 2005FWP is the same as Apple Cinema 20"except a few details. The only issue is if Apple chose to exclude DELL id during hardware recognition procedures, but I do not belive tApple engineers would ever made it as selective. Apple does not seem to have intentions to avoid support of most models of displays within electrical or resolution limits.
I do not belive that Apple would stop optimal resolution support for its own Cinema display. Dell and Apple units are build on the same LCD panel... probably by the same manufacturer.
I will find out in two days as my new Mac Mini comes home on March 1 and I already run 2005FWP with other systems. I will also find out something about switching all peripherals between Mac Mini, Windows and Linux.

GeForce FX 5200 and Dell 20" 2005FPW - not recognized

Hello,
I just got a dell monitor figuring that my computer could support it as it's the same as the apple display. It works with my powerbook - recognized by name, but that's an ati card. With the G5, it works in the VGA, but not at the correct resolution. it won't go to 1600 and there is no 1620 X 1050.
When the dvi cable is connected, the self test dissapears, but the monitor just goes to sleep.
I have the 64mb card....maximum res is 1900+. What's the deal? PC users can force the resolution with a utility. Am I stuck buying a new card for my machine??
thanks for any help.

Sam,
Don't waste your money. Your GeForce FX 5200 will run your Dell. In fact, I'm writing to you with my Dell 2005FPW monitor, running on my GeForce FX 5200. In this discussion group, I saw a suggestion to zap (reset) the PRAM. It worked for me.
Using the monitor that does work, zap your PRAM. When you zap your PRAM, as the G5 instruction manual says, release the 4 keys after the second chime. Then, you must go in and reselect, thru System Preferences, your Mac HD as the boot-up drive. Your manual says all this. ShutDown.
After I did all that, I reconnected my Dell, started up, & VOILA! Not only that, but when I went into System Preferences->Displays, I saw the Dell's 1680x1050 resolution as the selected resolution, so the GeForce seems to configure itself to anticipated device resolutions.
However, reading other threads in this group in trying to solve my problem, I saw that zapping PRAM doesn't always work. If it doesn't work for you, I suggest you go thru all the threads that seem to apply to your problem, because other considerations (not necessarily solutions) are offered.

20" Widescreen LCD. Apple and Dell are same LCD screen

For the detailed look at both monitors see:
http://www.anandtech.com/displays/showdoc.aspx?i=2400
If you were wanting to know if the Dell 2005FPW works with your mac, thats what I use exclusively on my mini.

Actually I have been closer to doing this.
What product am I looking at? They make a spray paint for kitchen appliances to bring them up to date as far as looking modern. There are two types of sprays available, one for regular appliances and one for appliances that get hot.
I'd be looking at a nice white and would opt for the hot version as price would not be significantly different.
I won't be masking the Dell logo on front, nor the little and quite redundant # indicators representing which input is in use. The on-screen indicator works great, and besides what is input 2? =) would have been more helpful to list DVI, VGA, SVIDEO, etc.
The buttons would remain grey as would the base stand. This is easy as I would be removing the plastic housing and spraying it away from the rest of the screen and LCD out in the garage.

Dell 2005FPW, pivoted, with Apple 20" Cinema?

Is anyone using this configuration? I'm thinking of getting the Dell to use in portrait mode with the Apple 20" Cinema. Any advice would be ppreciated.
G5 2GHz Mac OS X (10.3.9) GeForce FX 5200, Apple 20" Cinema display

Thanks again to all. The Dell 2005FPW does work splendidly with the Radeon 9600. I have them probably permanently set up with the Dell in portrait mode to the right of the Apple display. Each can easily have its resolution changed independently, although I don't think quite the same resolutions are available that were with the nVidia card. (not a big deal to me.) The Dell can pretty comfortably display a full orchestral score at a readable resoluton. It's also easy to disable one monitor with software if you only want one on, useful to me because both are behind a big plexiglass music desk, and the power buttons are inconvenient to reach.
I spent some time with Applecare before it was revealed (to several Applecare folks as well as me) that the power supply for the G5 is 600W, more than ample to power the Radeon, which acoording to THEIR tech support requires 250W. The line in the G5 manual that "Combined maximum power consumption by the AGP and PCI cards is 90W" is still a mystery to me and those several Applecare people, and doesn't interest the smarmy and unhelpful Radeon tech person. I don't see how this all adds up, but nothing has melted.
Thanks again, folks.

Color settings between the Mini and Dell monitor

I got my new Mac Mini Intel Solo yesterday and hooked it up to my Dell 20" widescreen flat-panel. As soon as my screen popped up, the color scheme was waaaay off. It was too red. So I messed with all different kinds of color settings on the monitor itself and then tried to calibrate the monitor through OS X. Nothing worked and I couldn't get the settings right. Can someone help me? Is there a standard setting that works or is there a site I can go to with a bunch of different color settings I can try? It's really frustrating!!!
Thanks in advance for any help!

What exactly do you mean by "the color scheme was waaaay off"?
The general setup of you display should be…
1) Display internal setting to default with the Colour Setting set to either PC Standard Preset or Mac Standard Preset (I found the Mac preset somewhat warmer/redder than the PC) and the Brightness set to your liking.
2) Mac OS X set to use the DELL 2005FPW (or whatever is the default colour profile that matches your model) in the Displays System Preference.
This will work for most people.

I need your help, My old G4 monitor blew up, I want to get a Dell 2005FPW

This past weekend my old monitor finally died. I have been reading some pretty good reviews of the capibilites of the Dell 2005FPW 20.1" Flat Panel Monitor. Now my question to you is.....This will work fine right with my old G4 That is like 7 years old now right? I used to have the big bubble type moniter. I believe I have to aget an ADC TO DVI adapter??? if so where can this be purchased as the most reasonable cost and.
Does anyone else have this monitor and feel its a great value compared to the Apple brand?
please any info is appreciated. Thanks, Mike

Ok I appreciate the response! I am for sure going to be getting the Dell monitor. Like I said previously my MAC G4 is probably 7 years old...give or take........The large bubble type stuido display that had the like 3 raised legs was what I had before. the end on that has I believe 14 pins.. and it is connected into the moniter meaning I have to buy a whole new cord unless the dell one comes with the cable to hook up Moniter to MAC? Could someone please get into the DVI a but more.....I really don't understand how do I know if my MAC even has that or whatever.......and i want to make sure I am getting the cable/adapter I need I really don't now right now what is what. Thanks!!!

Dell 2005FPW causing mouse lag?

I recently purchased the Dell 2005FPW 20.5" widescreen LCD and am running it at 1600x1050. I have noticed a slight amount of mouse lag since swapping monitors (was using a Viewsonic P95f+ CRT). It's apparent enough enough to be annoying when trying to click on small spaces, such as close window, etc. This was not so with the CRT.
I have a Dual 2Ghz Power Mac G5 with 2GB of RAM, and the ATI Radeon 9650 video card (256MB VRAM). Seems like the video card should handle this display with no problems. Anyone else experience this issue and know how to correct it?
I hooked the Viewsonic CRT and the problem went away, so I know it's related to the Dell display. Please advise.

LCDs often have a 25 millisecond, or longer, response time, mostly in the turning off (going to black). People complain about this causing fast moving objects to leaving trails. Instead using a faster LCD panel, some companies fix this by processing the signal before it gets to the LCD. This involves anticipating the response time of the LCD and adjusting the signal to compensate for it. LCDs are slower turning off so they want to get turn-off signals there faster than turn-on signal. The only way to do this is to delay turn-on signals. This is fine for watching video with fast moving objects (as long as you delay the sound by the same amount), but causes problems positioning a cursor quickly, or playing some video games.

Will Dell 2005FPW work with my Radeon 9000 Pro?

I have a ATI Radeon 9000 Pro with 64 MB VRAM in my Quicksilver and I am looking to purchase a Dell 2005FPW. Will my old 9000 Pro drive it? Will it look okay? Or do I need to upgrade my card?
Thanks!

Hi,
Welcome to the Apple Forums!
Yes.... it has one ADC and one DVI connector. As long as the Dell is DVI, no problem. If it's VGA, get an adapter for the DVI on the card.

MDT 2013, Deploying Windows 8.1 on Surface and Dell Venue Tablets

I'm having numerous issues with Capturing Images and Deploying to Windows 8.1 Tablets. We are currently using Surface Pro 1, 2, and Dell Venue 11 Pro tablets. I am using a Windows Server 2012 computer with MDT 2013 installed. I can't get the tablets
to:
1-sysprep and capture using MDT 2013
2-Deploy a Task Sequence with a WIM and other applications attached. (I've tried using the simple standard task seq option with no luck)
3-I found another way to get a WIM (using imagex) but when i deploy task sequence it ignores my selection of applications to install outside the WIM and only installs the WIM (WIM 14gb = Win 8.1 Ent, Office 2013 x32, MS Updates)
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Everything is being performed within the LAN and with USB 2.0 thumbdrives for media.

Hi altimav8,
Are you trying to find out how to deploy Surface Pro method? Before capture the Surface pro image please download the latest drivers for the surface and made sure that they
were the only drivers that were going to be deployed. There have a specific MDT deploy support forum more about the MDT deploy related issue you can ask in MDT support forum.

Macbook (late 08) 13.3" -- miniDV to DVI adapter and Dell 24" 2405 FSP Flat

All
Just purchased a Macbook 13.3" and bought the miniDV to DVI adapter for my 24" Dell 2405 FSP. For whatever reason, I cannot get system prefs to "detect display".
I am not sure if the cable is broken out of package or there is a problem with this adapter in general. I am trying to use the cable to view OS/X and XP Home via Bootcamp on large screen while Macbook is in clamshell (closed) mode.
Seems like a lot of people are having issues but I don't know what to do. It seems the cables from Apple vary by model and worse, appear to be lower quality than most would expect. Any thoughts on commands or steps to try and diagnose. Or should I buy the miniDV to VGA adapter for the Dell flatscreen?

Update to this issue.
1. Friend brought his Macbook Pro 17" with full DVI adapter to my Dell 2405 FPW -- he has same 24" flatscreen. It works -- so monitor is fine.
2. I went to Apple Store and REPLACED miniDV to DVI adapter to my monitor. No response. Not registering at all. But when friend hooked his Macbook with adapter, the screen came on.
Assumptions:
1. Macbook 13.3" aluminum port is damaged -- will go to Apple to confirm
2. Odds of two adapter cables not working - highly slim (got from two different stores if we want to shake the odds a bit more based on batch shipments
It appears that the port is NOT compatible with this monitor OR the cable quality is so bad that I have to go through a bunch of them.
Last option - miniDV to VGA adapter to my Dell monitor to see if that works. But it is one of two options -- from my perspective:
1. Monitor/port incompatibility
2. Bad cables
I even tried XP Home Edition under Bootcamp with the adapter and monitor did not display.
What's disappointing in all of this is Apple tech support told me to download "drivers" from Dell's site -- and puzzled, I asked if Dell was supporting Mac computers because OS/X did not have drivers for this monitor and Dell only has it themselves - they emailed me download links (which is convenient) but it was clear that she doesn't know what she was doing -- the links were XP and Vista only.
Sigh...Rev A Macbook. Will probably need Apple to work on this issue.

Dell 2005FPW vs. Apple 20'' Cinema Display

I know this is sacrilege, but it is my patriotic duty and right to save $300 on my consumer electronics (after education discount for Apple, and tax, ACD comes out to $756, and Dell comes out to $453; both are out the door prices).
Is there a difference in quality between the 20'' Apple Cinema Display and the Dell 2005FWP, or is the difference mainly superfical? What are the advantages disadvantages to either? Do these differences warrant $300I know there was a previous post, but if anyone cares to chime in, please do.
I am running a Powerbook 12'' G4 1.5 GHz, and am consider getting a new Mac Mini in the near future, but just generally speaking...

I've read of a lot of people saying that the 2405 is blindingly bright. To my eyes, that's true, but only if you turn up the brightness to max and change the color temperature setting to 9200K. At brightness around 50/100 and the standard 6500K color, everything's fine for me. Constrast is not adjustable using DVI (which is how it's suppose to be).
But to the question, the Dell 2405 uses a Samsung PVA panel, whereas all the Apple displays use LG-Philips S-IPS panels. Reviews, personal opinions, and your own eyes can tell you one is better over the other. In my experience, I don't consider the LG-Philips 20" and 23" panels (the same panels found in displays by Apple, Dell, HP, Viewsonic) to be anything spectacular. Colors are somewhat bland, black levels aren't as good, and the LCD or coating over the LCD has a grainy appearance that kind of gives off an annoying glittery look. The Samsung panel at 24" looks better to me. But with the 30" LG-Philips panel (shared by the Dell and Apple displays), it's amazing. The grainyness isn't noticable, viewing angles are good across the entire screen (though not with blacks which turn purple at an angle), and color/contrast are good.
Bottom line is that S-IPS panels like in the Apple 23" do have better viewing angles (in which colors don't shift as bad at an angle, and detail isn't lost as badly), but blacks don't look as deep and turn purple at an angle. It's also less bright, but perhaps also has not as good contrast. Color is probably subjective - some will say the 2405 is over-saturated, others will say it's vibrant. I'd try the Apple if the Dell doesn't satisfy you. Both are regarded as the best of the best.

Setting up new printer with MacBook Pro AND Dell?

Need a printer, want an AIO, any work better than others with MacBook and Dell? Purchased a HP Officejet 6500A Plus, any problems using both systems togehter? Also, should I set up the Dell first then the Mac, or viceversa?

Thanks for the help, I'm definitely getting there
I changed the settings as you've described and can now print from my MBP. The 3 Dell laptops are another matter. Would you have any idea what the IP address of the printer would be? Or the AirPort Extreme? I'm following this tutorial:
http://www.ifelix.co.uk/tech/1004.html
without much success but I'm really guessing at the IP address. I've tried 192.168.1.1 (my router) and 192.168.1.101 (the IPv4 address) with no luck. I suspect it's the IP address that's the problem ...
Any thoughts?
Thanks
Jay

CS4 and Dell Latitude D820

CS4 and Dell Latitude D820
Just wondering if anyone has the same Laptop model as myself and is running Photoshop CS4 on it with no problems?
With so much being said about differing configurations playing a part in CS4s performance, and with laptops offering perhaps the most uniformity in terms of hardware makeup across any two units, I thought it might be illuminating if we could find two systems of the same model and specs where one (i.e mine) has serious problems with Photoshop v11 and one (somewhere among you fine folk) that does not?
Obviously manufacture batch numbers could vary but, apart from that, Im thinking any hardware variables here should be at their most minimal? We could then begin to establish (perhaps) what other than hardware it might be that sees one system working fine and the other not?
For problems experienced on my Laptop system please System Setup 4 on
this page.
Would be interested to hear from any Latitude D820 users who are not experiencing these problems.

Re the Display driver.
I contacted both nVidia and Dell. Nvidia refers me to Dell as sole provider of driver.
Email reply from Dell tech support (on my asking for any news on new driver):
"I would like to bring it under your notice that I do not have sufficient update to provide you on the shortly available Drivers of new version".
I did speak with a Dell engineer who tells me: Dell can only package and release any new driver as and when updated drivers are provided by Nvidia.

Well basically its not the problem with the Routers firmware. It might be due higher level of security which you have set on your Router or it might be your Intel Pro Wireless is unable to communicate with your Router. In this case you need to lower down the security on your router to WEP or WPA Persoanl . If you have already lower down the security on your Router then it might be your Intel Pro Utility which is unable to communicate with your wireless network. In this case you need to disable Intel Pro wireless utility on your Computer and use Default Windows XP configuration utility to connect to your wireless network.
Opene Intel Pro-Set wireless utility on your Computer, On the top you need to click on "Tools" tab and below you will find the Option "Use Windows to Manage WiFi" or "Use Microsoft Client" and click on Yes. So it will disable the Intel Utility.
Now in the system try Locate your "Wireless Network Connection" icon, right click on it and select "View Available Wireless Network" , locate your wireless network, input the security and click on connect. Now check if you are able to go online.
