IBook to Dell 2005FPW connectors

My new 2005FPW Dell was just picked up and the correct connectors aren't in there for my 14.1 iBook. I have the Mini-VGA/video out adapter but am missing a connection between the [Dell-VGA Cable] and the [Apple Video Adapter] does anyone know where that piece can be bought. Just need that adapter or is their a cable that I must buy. Thank you
iBook G4, 14.1, 133mhz superdrive, iMac G3 700mhz 500ram   Mac OS X (10.4.6)  

Found the connector at the on line Apple store for $19.

  • IBook with Dell Monitor

    I'm thinking of getting a Dell 2005FPW monitor. According to Dell, it a system needs to support WSXGA+ resolution (1680 x 1050)to maximize performance out of the monitor. Can an iBook do this?
    Thanks.

    Hi DMC51269 & welcome to the forums! I'm sorry to hear you're having troubles
    Is the picture on the monitor centered with black bars on either side?
    Do you have another computer you could try the monitor with?

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Apple 20"Cinema or Dell 2005FPW or Dell 2405FPW

    I'm looking for a new LCD display and have narrowed my options down to these three. Main use will be Photo retouching and iMovie,
    I have a 1.6ghz G5 Powermac currently using a 17"CRT Studio Display
    Any comment or experiences would be appreciated
    Thanks Ads

    Reviews would point out the Dells have a different backlight that is brighter and produces more faithful colours unless you are working with print media where the ACDs backlight produces a more, don't have the technical term, muddied colour representation that will faithfully reproduce the colours that can be output in print form. If you had clients that looked at your images on a stock Dell and then saw the printed output they wouldn't like it because the colours to them looked more vibrant on the Dell than what they got on paper. (see anandtech reviews, etc.)
    iMovie wouldn't be a worry. That said you should be adjusting down the brightness of the Dell (through the individual colours, not the limited brightness control in the on-screen-menu) and create a custom colour profile, which means calibrating it if you do any form of print work.
    If you weren't mentioning anything dealing with printed works I would say the Dell would be a fine out-of-box monitor with the least effort to get working right away. With print work I still lean towards the ACD for people wanting the least hassle to work with print.
    I don't do print work, I work with photographs and graphics for the web and the Windows colour profile is the default in that world which is fine (Dell's are tuned to that out of the box) The Apple colour profile is (ACD) tuned for print.
    Re 2005FPW to 2405FPW its your choice. Also consider ergonomics with any of these monitors. I found that with the larger displays on my desk that my head/viewing angle led to strain in my neck and shoulder/back muscles which would cramp up after extended view.
    If you want to in future buy a HDTV tuner with DVI output then keep in mind that the 2005FPW is just a hair too short on vertical lines to be truly capable of displaying the full 1080 format of HDTV.
    Lot's to think about. For me, I went with the 2005FPW. At the time the 20" ACD was well over $1,100 to buy. The 2005FPW I got for $460 which was more than half the ACD. The LCD screen is the same, the brighter backlight and logic boards are different (more inputs on the Dells, and USB2.0 ports). I also got a 3 year warranty over Apple's 1 year. Little known fact is you can even buy the Dell monitors with the 5 year warranty, its just a few dollars more for every additional year of warranty on the units.
    That said, it wasn't the only deal that sold me. I took the savings, bought $8 in appliance paint, and spent my savings on another Mac (the mini) with a new wireless keyboard and mouse on top. One weekend project and I now have a monitor that looks as good as the Apple computer.
    The cat is from a Nikon Digital SLR, if you can imagine the raw image was more than 4 of those monitors put together to represent the actual picture without being resized.

  • To buy or not to buy for my G4: Dell 2005FPW display

    In the market for a new display and have been encouraged to buy a "DELL UltraSharp 2005FPW 20.1-inch Wide Aspect Flat Panel LCD Monitor." Trying to find out if it will work with my Powermac G4 dual and current graphics card... here's what my computer tells me about my current card:
    Chipset Model: ATY,Rage128Pro
    Type: Display
    Bus: AGP
    Slot: SLOT-A
    VRAM (Total): 16 MB
    Vendor: ATI (0x1002)
    Device ID: 0x5046
    Revision ID: 0x0000
    ROM Revision: 113-72701-130
    Any solid advice out there on how to figure this out?
    Mucho thanks!
    D.

    Right now I know two people who have this display connected and working with their Macs. One had been using it on a G4 MDD but is now running it on a new G5 and the other is running it on an old G4 Sawtooth with a newer ATI AGP graphics card (8500, I think). Both are happy with it.

  • 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.

  • Luminance problem in calibrating a Dell 2005FPW monitor

    How can I reduce the luminance of the subject monitor (an LCD) from a 205 reading to the target reading of 140? I'm using Eye-One Photo with Match 3.6 profiling software. I've reduced the Brightness control to 0, but get that 205 reading. Contrast control is not an option.
    Anyone have a workaround? Any other comments/advice?

    what if you change your white balance setting or gamma.
    Try native white point and 2.20 gamma

  • 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.

  • Dell Widescreen Displays and GeForce FX 5200

    Hi everyone,
    I have a PowerMac G5 1.6 GHz with the original GeForce 5200 that came in it.
    I'm shopping around for a replacement monitor and am considering Dell's 20.1" wide model (2005FPW).
    Does anybody have any experience with this combination? I see that some have had problems with the DVI connector on the Dell displays. I also can't find anything that assures me that my video card is capable of displaying at the Dell's native 1680x1050 resolution.
    Any help or other suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I'm trying to avoid the high price of the Apple displays.
    PowerMac G5 1.6 GHz   Mac OS X (10.4.5)  

    It's with some comfort that others have the same problem I do, getting my Dell 2005fpw to interface with my GeForce FX 5200 on my PowerPC G5,running OS 10.3.9. I've seen elsewhere (can't remember where) Mac users raving about their Dell monitors. They know something I don't, I guess, and that's why I'm in this discussion.
    I wonder how users of the Apple Cinema 20" are able to interface with the GeForce 5200, when the Cinema requires the same 1680x1050 resolution as the Dell. I've accessed the nVIDIA site to download an update, but no luck. Think I'll go back in & look at the resolutions available on the GeForce 5200.

  • What second display to buy for iBook G4?

    Hi all!
    I'd be keen to pair my good old iBook G4 with an external screen, 20in plus, possibly matt. What are my options?
    The only one I've heard of so far is the DELL 2005FPW, but can't find any for sale on European ebays.
    Thanks a lot,

    Any good moniter should work, however it needs to be VGA.
    I have a Sony monitor that Im using now, and it works nicely.
    One thing to note though, a external moniter will only display in Mirror Mode --- basically, it'll display exactly what your laptops screen displays. Which means the highest the resolution will go is 1024 x 756 --- even if the monitor can go higher.
    For this, google Screen Spanning Doctor, and with that you can use the external monitor as you main display and laptop screen as a second, and you can use any monitor at any resolution. It's free, BTW. I have my external monitor set as my main display at 1280 x 1024, and it works wonders!
    Good luck, and happy computing

  • 2005fpw via DVI: very slight flicker and annoying sound

    I might just be paranoid, but ...
    1) Does anyone using a Dell 2005fpw with the Mac Mini via DVI sometimes see the screen flicker ever so slightly? It's not so much a flicker as a pulse (screen gets a tiny bit brighter, then back to "normal" again). It usually happens only when the monitor wakes from sleep, and goes away after a few seconds, or sometimes a restart will do the trick (thus maybe a video card problem?).
    2) Also, do you notice a brief buzzing sound (such as when you turn on a TV) when the monitor comes out of sleep? I just never knew an LCD to make that sound.
    3) Has anyone yet to find a way to dim the backlight (not only for a darker screen, but to save on backlight life as well)?
    Thanks for any help.

    1) No. Sounds like you could have an electronic component problem or one that is out of tolerance range. Could be as simple as a bad ballast capacitor on the inverter PCB. If it annoys you to no end you could do a warranty swap. But if not I usually recommend against such swaps as you get a refurbished monitor in exchange which could have a separate problem lurking in the background waiting to rear its head down the road.
    I swapped a 2001FP for bad pixels and got a zero bad pixel refurbished unit in exchange, but the analogue VGA driver was faulty. Not a problem because I drive it through the DVI connector. This monitor strangely enough only on the PC will exhibit the screen blanking problem which is a faulty cap on the circuit board that needs replacing. I can use the custom Nvidia settings to back the frequency down to eliminate the symptoms on the PC. Strangely enough when my mini is driving that monitor it doesn't exhibit the error. The minis electrical levels through the DVI port must be different.
    2) No. This is also what makes me believe you just got one off the line with a out of spec or faulty component. Again, is this a critical problem for you is the ultimate question.
    3) You have a backlight setting which is not very useful as far as the dynamic range of values. More can be done in the menu system by using User Defined R,G,B colour values and bring them down, this will give you the dimming power you are most likely searching for.
    There are speciality LCD repair shops that do mostly laptop work that have a lot of experience fixing the various manufacturing problems and some are skilled enough to dissolve a heavily scratched plastic coating off the LCD matrix and float on a new plastic coating for you. I would recommend talking to them if you really love your monitor and/or don't want to go the risk of refurbed unit exchange route.
