Click here for one. The link is to a PDF. Aside from a converter such as this, a graphics card with a Mini DisplayPort is needed.

  • Max resolution of '30 inch Apple Cinema Display'...?

    When I connected 30 inch Apple Cinema Display, model M9179ZM/A, to an ATI Radeon X850 XT graphic card, I have failed to get higher resolution than 2048 x 1538 althought this graphic card is listed in the Technical Specification at www.apple.com/displays/specs.html as an appropriate card for driving this monitor.
    Plese could anybody tell me where a mistake is?
    Thanks.

    Being compatible with the 24-inch Cinema Display and being able to use it at resolutions higher than 1280 by 800 doesn't necessarily mean that it can drive the 30-inch Cinema Display at its full resolution. You need to use a dual-link DVI connection as stated above.

  • Under Windows 7 Ultimate x64 and Boot Camp, my 27 inch Apple LED Cinema Display checks out as a Generic PnP Monitor and is shown as NOT HDCP compliant.  I haven't been able to find any kind of an .inf file to use.  Does anyone have a solution?

    Under Windows 7 Ultimate x64 and Boot Camp, my 27 inch Apple LED Cinema Display checks out as a Generic PnP Monitor and is shown as NOT HDCP compliant.  I haven't been able to find any kind of an .inf file to use.  Does anyone have a solution?  Or is Apple's implementation of HDCP (if it's there) incomplete?

    I am having this same issue. Im not sure if this is the cause but I think this is keeping PowerDVD Ultra 11 from playing back Bluray under Windows 7 / Bootcamp

  • Macbook goes to sleep randomely when connected to Apple LED Display

    I have  an issue with my Macbook Pro (2009 model) when it's connected to my 27' Apple LED Display. For no apparent reason that I can tell, it just goes to sleep at random, and after I wake it up by pressing a key (bluetooth keyboard), the mouse cursor looks messed up:
    It might be a bit hard to tell from the blurry photo (I don't know of a way to take a screenshot with the cursor, so I used my iPhone), but it's too halves of the spinning beachball.
    There's nothing in the console's log that indicates the reason for switching to sleep mode. It's also not the magnets of the Macbook pro used to detected when the lid is closed (I'm using the NoSleep utility that prevents that behavior). I've already tried resetting the PRAM. Also, this behavior never happens when the macbook isn't connected to the external display, so that probably aint a heating problem either (also the temperature readings are all in bounds).
    Any help would be very appreciated, as that thing is driving me crazy.

    Jon,
    Along the lines of my comment in your other thread. The battery connection cable between the logic board and the battery is also known as the "sleep/switch" connector. This little cable not only communicates battery power to & from the machine but also has a handle on regulating the machine's sleep process (and wake from sleep).
    I've seen several MacBooks that have come across my work bench which are suffering from this exact issue you're describing and we're remedied by replacing that cable.
    The component I'm referring to is this one-

  • I have 23 inch Apple HD Display. Will this work with my MacBook Pro? How shall I connect it?

    I have 23 inch Apple HD Display. Will this work with my MacBook Pro? How shall I connect it?

    yarova818,
    there were two different 23-inch Apple Cinema HD displays made. The first one was made between 2002 and 2004, and has an ADC connector. The second one was made between 2004 and 2008, and has a DVI-D connector.
    If you have the display with an ADC connector, then according to this Apple page, your display will work with your MacBook Pro if it’s a 13-inch or 15-inch model. If you have a first-generation MacBook Pro, you’d need an Apple DVI to ADC Adapter (or equivalent) to connect them. If you have a Unibody or Retina MacBook Pro, then you’d also need a Mini DisplayPort to DVI adapter (or equivalent) to complete the connection. A Retina model would also have the option of using a third-party HDMI to DVI-D adapter to complete the connection with the DVI to ADC adapter.
    If you have the display with a DVI-D connector, then if you have a first-generation MacBook Pro, you should be able to plug it in directly. If you have a Unibody or Retina MacBook Pro, then the Mini DisplayPort to DVI adapter would let you make the connection. Again, Retina models also would have the option of using a third-party HDMI to DVI-D adapter.

  • Dual Apple LED  Display (24") with NVIDIA GeForce GT120 & ATI RadeonHD4870

    I have recently purchased a MacPro4,1 Processor Name:Quad-Core Intel Xeon Processor Speed: 2.26 GHz with 6GB memory with the NVIDIA GeForce GT120. Then I purchased a ATI Radeon HD 4870 to be able to run the 2 Apple Cinema displays and an external monitor.
    I installed the ATI in slot 1 and the GT120 in slot 3. I use different motion software and the computer seems to recognize as the primary card the GT120 and not the ATI. This creates a problem with the different software I use as it uses for processing and rendering the GT120 and not the ATI faster card.
    This is also visible when I go to system preferences and change the display preferences and try to shift them around, the first display is the one that has the GT120 card (which is in slot 3)!!!
    Also sometimes I get funny characters in some windows.
    I spent the extra dollars to get an ATI card but I am not using its capabilities which is inviting me to disconnect the GT120 card... but then I cannot use the second Apple LED display due to its Apple's miserable connector policy. This is telling me that next time I should not buy the monitors from Apple as its connectors are not trully compatible with the hardware they sell.
    I searched everywhere but cannot find similar cases which is very strange. Any solution friends?

    You could remove the NVIDIA GT120 and connect the second display to the ATI card's DVI port with a DVI to Mini DisplayPort converter.

  • Best stand for MacBook Pro and Apple LED Display

    I am buying a MacBook Pro and Apple LED Display tomorrow. I want to have a two display setup, similar to what I have seen in the Apple Store. I believe they used a Griffin Elevator. I want to make sure of two things: that the stand is sturdy enough so that my laptop won't slide off of it and that I can adjust the stand/monitor so that the tops are level (so that moving my mouse from the laptop to monitor and back is smooth - i.e. the cursor doesn't jump up or down.
    I like the fact that I can use this setup to go mobile very quickly, but what about my direct Ethernet connection. I wish there were a stand/dock such that I could hook everything up to it and then just undock the entire machine.

    How did you solve the problem of closing the Macbook Pro when it was connected to the display and preventing it from going to sleep?
    I am thinking about buying one. When I went to the local Apple Store the tech guys told me that it would be necessary to keep the laptop open slightly when connecting it to the display. They said it was something to do with cooling. It didn't sound right to me. I'm sure that Apple didn't solely intend for the Cinema Displays to be used by Mac Pro and Mac Mini users.
    There must be a simple way to "dock" or connect a Mac laptop (Macbook Pro or Macbook) to an Apple Cinema display or any other display with DVI input while keeping the laptop closed with an external keyboard and mouse connected and still be able to use the SuperDrive.
    I'm very curious about how you handled this.
    All the best for now,
    Ambrose

  • Is the 24 inch Apple Cinema Display the best choice for Final Cut Studio 2

    I'm about to order a Mac Pro and Final Cut Studio 2 and have a question about monitor choices.
    Is the 24 inch Apple Cinema Display the best choice are there non-Apple monitors that will do as good or better job with HD editing and output?

    COMPUTER MONITORS bear very little on HD editing and output...especially output. They are just the monitors you use to look at your clips and your timeline. THey work for SD and HD. You really only use them to, well, as I said, see what you are doing. It would be nice to have GOOD ONES so the image looks decent. I use the Dell 24" monitors. The current one is the 2408. Nearly half the price of the Apple 23" displays...and really, the only Apple 23" that exists connects via their new connector, so you need a new MacPro or MacBook pro...or some adapter, to get it to work. And they are not worth the extra money, in my experience.
    Samsung monitors are also good.

  • 30 inch Apple Cinema Display-system prefs not showing native resolutions

    The 30 inch Apple Cinema Display, seems to be working fine with the mac pro, but when I try to hook up the 2009 mini, the display preferences do not show the mini's native resolution of 1920x1200.  The maximum it shows is 1280x800, and only gives a few other choices.  This mini had once been attached to a TV monitor, so I am wondering if that has something to do with the lack of choices in the system preferences.  Does anyone have any ideas on how to get the system preferences to display the correct info so that I can adjust the resolution ?
    Thanks

    Being compatible with the 24-inch Cinema Display and being able to use it at resolutions higher than 1280 by 800 doesn't necessarily mean that it can drive the 30-inch Cinema Display at its full resolution. You need to use a dual-link DVI connection as stated above.

  • Connecting old 20'' Apple Cinema Display??

    Will I be able to connect my existing 20'' Apple Cinema Display (model A1081) to a new 2.5GHz Mac mini using the enclosed HDMI to DVI Adapter? Or will I have to purchase a separate adaptor?
    If it helps, the specs of my display are as follows:
    20-inch Apple Cinema Display
    model A1081
    Viewable: 20.1 inches
    1680 x 1050 optimal resolution
    16.7 million colours
    DVI Display Connector
    Purchased: October 2005.
    Manual: http://manuals.info.apple.com/MANUALS/0/MA467/en_US/CinemaDisplays_20_23_30inchU serGuide.pdf
    I currently use the above display with a PPC G5; will I notice an increase in viewing quality if I use it with a new Mac mini?
    Many thanks.

    Yes, it will work fine with the included HDMI to DVI adopter

  • Apple LED Display Brightness

    Hello,
    I have my Apple LED display connected to my Mac Pro via the Nvidia GT 120. How do I turn the brightness up or down? Connecting it to a MacBook Pro, there is a brightness display on the Display preferences, but not when I connect it to my Mac Pro.
    I also tried the F1 and F2 keys and also FN + F1/F2. Is there anything I can do?
    Thanks!

    Ahhh, that must be it. I can't connect it to my Mac Pro, since it's not long enough. Waiting on my extension to arrive on Friday. Once I connect the USB, does it work with F1/F2 keys or only in Display settings? Thanks!!!

  • 30-inch Apple Cinema Display on Mac Mini 2010

    I recently went around to look for a 30-inch Apple Cinema Display. I found out that if I use it with the new Mac Mini 2010, the resolution is somewhat pixelized. From what I know the Mac Mini's Mini DisplayPort supports for up to 2560-by-1600 resolution.
    Base on the 30-inch max resolution, its 2560 x 1600. Did I get this right?

    Did I get this right?
    Yes, if you're using a dual-link DVI adaptor. If you're using a single-link one, the maximum resolution on a 30-inch display is 1280 by 800.
    If you're using a dual-link DVI connection at the correct resolution, check the Zoom setting in the Universal Access and Keyboard & Mouse panes of System Preferences.

  • Newest Mac Pro: Displays  How will 4K be displayed?  : 4K 3840x2160 UHD 4096x2550  Where as: 27-inch Apple Thunderbolt Display=2660x1440

    How will 4K be displayed?  :
    4K 3840x2160
    UHD 4096x2550
    Where as:
    27-inch Apple Thunderbolt Display=2660x1440

    4k is the generic term for resolutions that have a horizontal number of pixels around 4000. The two most common resolutions are Ultra Hi-Def (UHD) and Cinema 4K (C4K). The first is 3840x2160 and is exactly four times the resolution of "Full HD", or 1080p. The second is 4096x2160 and is one of the "standard" resolutions used in digital cinema projection.
    The HDMI 1.4 standard supports both of these, but only at certain refresh rates. UHD, being the consumer version, is supported at 24Hz, 25Hz, and 30Hz; C4K is only defined for 24Hz since most of the material is going to be film-sourced. (This implies that 25/30Hz will include TV material at half their original rates of 50/60Hz.) Over HDMI, all four of these timing formats run at the same clock rate (297MHz, ignoring the fractional versions). This is the highest clock used in this version of HDMI, although the standard allows up to 340MHz. (There may be PC timing formats between 297-340...)
    Using generic terms, we call these modes "UHD30" to imply resolution and refresh rate, and if a TV supports UHD30 it will always support UHD24 (although it is not a rule, merely a reflection of reality). A TV can only support C4K24 in 1.4, but it doesn't have to. There are many TVs that will support UHD24 or UHD24-30, but not C4K at all. So the practical limit of HDMI 1.4 is "up to 4k30."
    HDMI 2.0, which the Mac Pro does not have [yet], provides dot clocks up to 600MHz (although above 340MHz, they are all divided by 4) and allows "up to 4k60" for pixel encodings of RGB444, YCC444, and YCC422. The new standard also allows 4k50/60 to use YCC420, which sacrifices some color information (known as 'uses chroma subsampling') but allows the data to be transferred at the same rate as 4k30. While "fine" for video--since it was probably delivered over BD/DVD or streaming at YCC420 to begin with--it is not fine for you computer's output.
    I just got a 4k TV because I was tired of my dual 1920x1200 DisplayPort monitors after coming from the original 30" Cinema display of 2560x1600. Specifically, I used to enjoy >1080 pixels tall. But here's the problem with the 4k TV: while it has HDMI 2.0 inputs, the MacPro has only HDMI 1.4 so the output is limited to "up to 4k30". Moving the mouse is laggy and not smooth as it would be if the display were 60Hz. Furthermore, the MacPro is not offering me a choice between UHD or C4K--both of which the TV supports--and is instead defaulting to the largest resolution of C4K. This means the refresh is only 24Hz. And that's why I'm in the forums today--to see if there's a way to get my output to be UHD, but at 30Hz.
    In a couple months, several companies will be selling DP-to-HDMI2 dongles that will support 4k60. So I am holding my breath until then.
    Now, to specifically and accurately answer your question: Out the current MacPro's HDMI 1.4 port, you will get the highest resolution your TV (called the Sink) will support. If your TV has C4K24, then that is what will show up. If your TV does NOT have that, but has UHD24-30, you SHOULD get UHD30. If your TV ONLY has UHD24, then that's what you will get. If you get a TV, the chances are really, really good that the panel will have 3840 pixels across and 2160 lines down. In this case, you want the Mac to output that resolution and put the TV into pixel-for-pixel mode so every input datum is mapped to a single display element. Since most displays overscan, the Full mode will expand the incoming data from 2-5% which can eliminated the crispness (and also cut off the extremes of the Desktop). Also, if you are outputting C4K (like I am) AND you have switched to P4P mode, the horizontal dimension is shrunk by 6.6%.
    If any of this is unclear, just reply. But I will say that this 40" TV is really useful, and once it is running at 60Hz...bellisima!

  • Old 2006 MBP and connecting it to new 24 inch Apple LED Cinema Display

  • Apple LED Display Connection Options

    Hello I have a Macbook Pro 2.8 fairly new hooked up with an LED 24' Display. I want to get HD signals from my HD Direct TV set top box. I currently have the EL Gato EyeTv but that is only for analog composite cables. I recently saw a few items available, the Kanex XD and the Gefen DVI to Mini DisplayPort Adapter and im wondering if these will work if I connect one of these adapters through my Macbook Pro? I know it works with a 27" iMac
    Also is there a way or any adapter out there that will connect a source with HDMI(PS3,Satellite Box)straight trough my 24' LED Display.
    PS i think there is and El Gato HD can work as well.
    thanks

    Ahhh, that must be it. I can't connect it to my Mac Pro, since it's not long enough. Waiting on my extension to arrive on Friday. Once I connect the USB, does it work with F1/F2 keys or only in Display settings? Thanks!!!
