Is the new 27" display HDCP compliant?

Anyone know if the new 27" LED Cinema display is HDCP compliant (i.e. can play HD content from the iTunes store)? Just got a new Mac Pro and all of the sudden my HD purchases will no longer play on my aging 30" Cinema display (which is due for replacing anyway)

+"That's great to hear. I wish they would put this in the "tech specs" for the monitor."+
Agreed. I did some research before downloading the HD movie, and found that it was indeed compliant. The combination of this monitor, the mini DisplayPort and the Mac Pro all being HDCP compliant is GREAT. Now, if Apple will just add Blu-ray compliance to OS X in an upcoming update, I will be in hog heaven. I was planning to get a Blu-ray burner for the second bay in my Mac Pro, but I am waiting for this last piece of the compliance puzzle.

I am going to buy myself a MacBook Pro in the near future and was wondering if the new Retina Display model would be worth the extra cash. I will mostly be doing photo/video/music editing.

if you're not in a big rush - why not hold off until Adobe and Microsoft releases an update to support the Retina Screen.
Don't get me wrong - the Macbook Retina is a good and videos look great - but when it comes to Photoshop, it's a little blurry and the fonts in Excel and Word is pretty blurry too.....I own one....
In any event, if it's something you can live with - then by all means - go for it.....
Otherwise - get the non Retina Macbook Pro - it's cheaper, and it's user upgradeable in both RAM and Hard Drive.
Good luck.

Upgrade 09 model with the new mini display port?

Anyway to upgrade my 09 macbook pro with the new mini display port that supports both audio and video instead of just video?

If you are referring to Thunderbolt, no.

Can Minidisplay Port work with the new Thunderbolt Display?

I have a 2009 MBP 15 inch with Mindisplayport.
Can Minidisplay Port work with the new Thunderbolt Display?
If not, is there any adaptor i can use to make it work.
I also have the new MBA with thunderbolt socket.
Cannot decide which display to get.
Thanks.

Here's a new article that basically covers and clears up all the new Thunderbolt display questions (same things I previously stated).
Enjoy!!

What are the actual dimensions of the new Thunderbolt Display without the stand (e.g., when using a VESA mount)?

I need to use the new Thunderbolt Display without the stand on a VESA mount, but before I order it I need to make sure it will fit height-wise in the allotted space.

The ThunderBolt display specs page has the same sizes listed as the 27" LED Cinema Display specs page (web archive). I just measured my Cinema Display for you and the height of the display itself without the stand is 15 5/8". However, you will need some additional space at the bottom for air flow intake. These displays get hot and need proper ventilation so do not block the vents on the bottom. Also the bottom vents are where the speakers are.
Hope this helps.

The new retina display is insanity!

Is the new 23" Display dvi i, dvi a, or dvi d ?

Is the new 23" Display dvi i, dvi a, or dvi d ?

Forestman sez:
Is it my perception or is the new iMac really glossy and has a lot of glare
I sez:
Well, since you ask, I'd have to say that you may have a perceptual problem. My new Intel iMac is not "really" glossy and it does not have a "lot" of glare.
The ONLY time I've seen any noticeably offensive glare off the screen occurred when I was using a flash camera to take a series of photos of the iMac over the right shoulder of a girl who was playing The Sims 2 on a 24-inch 2.8 GHz iMac, in order to get pictures for an article I was writing about The Sims. The reflected flash from behind and to her right at an oblique angle lit up her face from the side and front and it showed in several pictures as a reflection of her face in the glass in front of the game image.
I'm using the computer every day and as far as I can tell the whole hoopla about the glare off the screen is a bunch of mindless niggling. A tempest in a teacup. The computer industry being what it is I'm sure that some entrepreneur in California has already designed a translucent matte screen for the iMac and is in negotiations to have it made in China for 17 or 19 cents each, to be sold here for $29.95.
I wish it were me.
Speaking of which, I saw something on American TV a few months ago that was highly amusing. People on the street were quoted the phrase "a tempest in a teacup" and asked to explain their understanding of what a "tempest" was. Some people thought it was a small animal of some sort and most others simply did not know what the word meant at all. Not a clue.

I am unable to use the new retinal display with the 600 series smart board

I am a teacher and have both an older macbookpro (2006 2gigs ram 10.7) and the new retinal display macbookpro (10.8.2). My school had two versions of smartboards (one is the 685 with a UX60 projector; the other is a newer 800 series). My older macbookpro works with both boards but my new macbookpro works only with the newer 800 series. It does not show any display at all with the older boards. I have tried reducing the resolution but that does not help. I have taken it to apple and it checks out fine. I have spent hours with smartboard support in Calgary. They can't figure it out but have never used a Mac with a retinal display and the older board or the UX60. Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Ed S

You should also ask this in the MacBook Pro forum. This is the forum for the 13” white and black plastic MacBooks that were discontinued in 2010. You should also post this question there to increase your chances of getting an answer.

Does the new Thunderbolt display have any advantages over the current 27" iMac

Other than being 3kg lighter and including a sub (2.1 stereo system) rather than just stereo speakers, are there any advantages of the new Thunderbolt display over the current 27" iMac?
We need a new desktop very soon, and will eventually upgrade to an Mac Pro (not until a post Lion version comes out with Thunderbolt built in). We were contemplating a MacMini Server and a Thunderbolt display, but for only a little extra (weight and cash) we could get a more powerfull 27" iMac. Are there any benefits of the Thunderbolt display that are not included in the top end 27" iMac? I'm assuming it's just the same 27" LED backlit TFT LCD with IPS...
In the end we would probably end up using the iMac or display as a display for a Mac Pro (we're photographers), so if there are significant benefits of the Thunderbolt Display, we'll just get it with the Mini as a stopgap.

The only real advantage of the new 27" ACD is that you can easily move it from one unit to another (Mini to MBP to Pro, etc). If you bought a 27" iMac you could always hook up another display to the iMac and run dual monitors fairly easily.
The advantage of the Pro is that you can add a bigger video card, lots more RAM and up to 4 hard drives. If you plan on buying a Pro as soon as it comes out, get the Mini, if not get the iMac (it will save you a bit of space over a ACD and a Mini). I think the real question is, what do you think you are going to use more in the future.
And yes, the 27" iMac and the 27" ACD use the same IPS screen.

Can I connect my thunderbolt display's power cable to supply power to the new retina display macbook pro?

I'm planning to buy a new retina display macbook pro, but I have a thunderbolt display and I use the display's power cable to supply the power to a macbook air. As the power connector on the new macbook pro is differet, It looks to me that I won't be able to connect it to the new computer. I'm I correct?

You'll just need this adapter, which you can buy or order with the computer:

You can't. There is a long discussion in the Thunderbolt forum. Look there.

Question about the new IMac display 2012 and pollution

The IMac late 2010 there is the problem that the fan behind the screen and glass environment pollution such as smoke, candle soot, heating dirt etc fans were absorbed and resulted in contamination streaks on the inside of the glass cover.
A new display technology is applied to the new IMac in 2012 and thus achieved a higher density of the display. Can Apple confirm that with this new display, the old dirt from the inside of the glass are excluded and will no longer occur?
Thank you for answer

Good question, but you're not talking to Apple here, just users like yourself, so I doubt you'll get a definitive answer.

Connecting the new 27" display!?

I currently run two samsung 20" screens off my MAC PRO and I wanna exchange it with the new 27" cinema display (as that in fact will give me more screen real-estate)
BUT, since the MAC PRO is in the machine room of my recording studio, its aprrox. 10 meters away (30 feet) and needs an extender cable of some sort.
Now do I convert apple display port to DVI (used the already installed cables) and back again or do I run a new cable?

You can get a DisplayPort extender/booster
<http://www.gefen.com/kvm/dcable.jsp?prod_id=9147>
You will also needed Mini to standard DisplayPorts adapters at each end.

<http://estore.circuitassembly.com/products/Mini-Displayport-Female-to-Displaypo rt-Male-Adapter-Cable.html>
If you computer has only DVI ports you will also need a dual-link DVI to Mini DisplayPort converter.
<http://www.atlona.com/Atlona-Dual-Link-DVI-to-Mini-DisplayPort-Converter-USB-Po wered.html>
In that case, instead of extending the DisplayPort, you could extend he DVI using dual-link DVI cables and a booster

My eyes strain badly with the new iMac display - 2014

I recently bought a 2013 iMac 14.2 to replace my 2007 iMac 7.1.
I immediately noticed that my eyes were straining very badly in front of the new screen. No matter how I tweak the adjustments, I can't bear to look at the screen long enough to do any significant work.
Since I still have the old iMac in the same room, I can easily compare by just switching desks. With the old one, no problem. The moment I sit in front of the new screen, my eyes start aching and watering. It's not a question of contrast, brightness, or any adjustable parameters that I'm aware of.
I checked on the Net, and a significant number of other people report the same type of issues. I have not found any solution, nor any explanation.
I remember that in the days of the CRT monitors on PCs, I had to adjust the refresh rate as high as possible in order to avoid headache and eye strain. Anything 60Hz or below was unbearable.
Is there a similar issue with the LED backlighting?
Does anyone have an in-depth knowledge of the specificities of LED-backlit screens, such as wavelength, variation in light intensity/flickering/refresh rate, etc.?
There is a technical explanation and - hopefully - solution, and it's not "all in your head", "get glasses", "blink twice and stare at the opposite wall for one minute"...

Calibration affects the color, not the refresh rate, and I'm pretty sure that this is an issue of refresh rate.
Even though LED/LCD screens do not have the very noticeable flickering of a CRT when refreshing the image horizontally, there are still refresh frequencies used.
There is no direct access to these settings, and I wonder if there is a software out there that gives you access to the full display/GPU parameters.
My GPU is a NVIDIA GeForce GT 755M.
As I said earlier, there IS an issue here (other people are affected), and there IS a solution somewhere. Besides the fact that Apple should definitely look into it and come up with a permanent fix (like changing the default settings, or having a user-configurable display) I'm sure that users with the necessary knowledge will be able to work out a solution.
