Going to buy the 30' cinema HD Display

hello everyone! this is the first time im in touch with Apple!
this next week end im going to buy the 30' cinema display!
From what i read i will need dual dvi link for max. res. but my gfx seems to have only 1 dvi output!! THO it can reach 2048x1536!
will this give me any real problem? i need opinions to help me on my purchase!
im going to upgrade in na few months and this great monitor is part of the upgrade!
can someone please help me out! Because i dont want to "missuse" this lovely display and because it is quite an investment!!dont want to damage any hardware!
thank you all!

Hi-
I wouldn't expect any damage to occur from running at lower than optimal resolution. Having said this, it is possible that a card of marginal power might have problems driving the monitor. If the card lacks the necessary power, it won't hurt the monitor. You will only get a blank screen.
Good luck, and enjoy your monitor!

    Hi, I have a mac pro 2008 eand I was wondering if it possible to connect to the apple cinema 27'' display.

    Yes using an apple 5770 video card and a dual link DVI adapter like the Atlona DP400 adapter.
    Look at the hits in this google search for lots of other discussions on this topic.

  • Going to buy the 12'' ibook, how much GB, GHz, and MB is good?

    i want to buy the 12'' ibook, for college, i will not be using it for video games or videos, just exclusively internet and word documents, and some pictures. whats a good enough GB, GHz, and MB for me in my situation? thanks!!

    Here's something to look at first: iBook and PowerBook Reliability:
    http://www. macintouch.com/reliability/laptops.html
    To run Tiger, you can do it with a iBook G4 with a 30GB hard drive, a 800Mhz processor, and 512 MB of memory. The 30GB hard drive is really small and bigger would be better. More MB of memory and a faster processor would be better.
    To run Panther, you could do it with the same processor and hard drive, and 256 MB of RAM. But again, more RAM is better.
    I am not familiar with other iBook models, but possibly you could also use a G3 or older for your purposes.
    You also want to get all of the original CD's that come with whichever iBook you select.
    Good luck!

  • Will the 24 cinema led display work with my imac 17inch 2006 late model?

    Would like to buy one that will work with my imac late 2006 17inch 2.0 ghz intel core 2 duo
    Anyone know or are they only for the notebooks. thanks

    Talked to an Apple Genius.
    May be an apple, but definitely not a genius.
    He stated that I could do it a lot cheaper by using two of Apples adapters.
    It will be cheaper, but it won't work.
    Apple Mini-DVI to DVI Adapter 19 dollars and Mini DisplayPort to DVI Adapter 29 dollars. I bought both, they don't fit together.
    There's a reason they don't fit together. The DVI ports on these adapters are DVI outputs only, meant to send DVI signals to displays. The DVI ports cannot be used as inputs, no matter what adapters or cables are used.
    Now all I need is a 24 inch LED Cinema display to see how it works.
    It won't. The digital video signals are very different between DVI and DisplayPort. You can use a cheap adapter to connect a DVI display to aDisplayPort computer because the DisplayPort graphics system recognizes the adapter and changes the video signals to the DVI format. The adapter then sends these signals to the correct pins on its DVI port. You can'y use a simple adapter the other way since DVI graphics controllers can't generate DisplayPort video signals.
    You need a DVI to Mini DisplayPort converter.

  • Hi, I'm going to buy the new MacBook AIR  full loaded but I have been reading all the discussions here and look like it has so many problems. My other option is the MacBook Retina.

    I am worry about these amount of problem that I just read about MBair. I want to change to apple because most of my genetic software runs very good in these computer. As I said MBP retina is my other option. I am thinking to buy a full loaded MBair. I will appreciate your comments or/and recomendations. Thanks

    Keep in mind what you are reading here is a biased sample, by definition.  People mainly come here because they have a problem.  A user who is not experiencing any problems is very likely to have never eveh heard of these forums.
    Keep in mind that Apple sells millions of laptops every year, and you have no idea how many of them do NOT have the problems you see being discussed here.  And if there were truly huge numbers of dissatisfied customers, how has Apple continued to sell so many computers consistantly for so many years?

  • I bought a 8Gb IPod Touch. Now I want to upgrade to a 32GB. I am going to sell my current IPod to a GameStop and am going to buy the brand new one at Wal-Mart. Is their a way that I can get my new one EXACTLY like the old one?

    I mean exactly the same. Like down to the last detail!

    Connect theold iPod to your computer for the last time and syn it. A sync includes a backup
    Then connect the new iPod to the computer and restore from that backup. Make sure that all the apps are in the iTunes library as well as music and other things since synced items are not in the backup.

  • Wire that goes from 90W Power Adapter a1097 to apple cinema hd display

    We lost the wire that goes from the 90W Power Adapter a1097 to the Apple Cinema HD Display. Where could I purchase another one and what is the name of this wire?

    The wire that comes from the power supply is tethered, meaning non-detachable, so I don't see how it can be lost. Or maybe I am misunderstanding. Is it the AC cord that is missing, e.g. the one that goes into the wall? That should be a normal IEC 320 C13, which is commonly available. You don't need the Apple one.

  • Is the Macbook Pro Retina display better than the LED display on the new iMac that is coming out?

    I am thinking of either buying the Macbook Pro retina display (15") or waiting for the iMac 27" display. I am mainly focusing on the display, so what is better?

    Is the MacBook Pro Retina display resolution of 2880-by-1800 a strain on the eyes as I understand the higher the resolution the more strainful the screen can be to the eyes?
    Well there are two or three causes of eyestrain with displays different people seem to have.
    1: Small type/UI elements
    2: Glossy screens
    3: Flicker rate
    1:
    The higher pixel rate combined with the display set at the higher resolution is going to cause UI and type to be smaller and harder to see. In fact it's advised to set OS X to a lower resolouton so it upscales better to match the pixel of the higher display.
    Reports coming in say watching HD 1920 x 1080 trailers on the anti-glare 17" is best as the pixel content matches the display almost fullscreen, where on the MBP-R it's upscaled and thus looks blurry.
    HD content makers are NOT going to change all their video cameras to support 2880 x 1800 full screen, so in order to get a clearer image playing HD 1080 content, one will have to do so in a smaller window.
    2:
    The new MBP-R dispalys are 75% less glossy, but not 100% less glossy like the anti-glare models so this can still cause some people problems. This can be lowered to under 1%, however I'm suspecting to do so would be considered giving up a military advantage to China where Apple gets it products made.
    3:
    I don't know about the flicker rate if it's better or not on the MBP-R's than the previous screens.

  • Can 23" cinema HD Display support Game systems connectivity

    I currently have my display connected to my MacBook but space is a factor at my dorm. Can I use my Apple 23" Cinema HD Display to connect my xbox 360? I bought a DVI to HDMI adapter but i get no picture. i also have a xbox VGA cable if i need to go that route. I figure digital to digital should give me a better picture, the an analog to digital. Can my 23" Cinema HD Display support game system connectivity or these older display were meant for Mac's Only?

    followup question... Does the 23" cinema HD Display support HDCP? Could that be the cause for a blank screen. the power light is solid. I when to Display settings and lower resolution on the monitor, still no picture?

  • Have to be an authorized user to buy the new iPhone 3G?

    Hello, I'm going to buy the new iPhone 3G tomorrow. I was reading online the requirements and things you must have when you go into the Apple Retail Store to buy the phone. It said you must be the primary AT&T account user.
    Somebody else in my family is the owner, and I'm a user. I asked an Apple customer service person, and she said as long as I can be an "Authorized" user, that other family member will not have to be with me when I buy the new phone.
    How do I become an AT&T authorized user on my account?
    Thank you.

    Thank you so much. The customer service person gave me a number, but it didn't work. Should I just call a general AT&T Customer Service phone number?
    Thanks.
